"EMPTY SLOTS" by estranj

ESTRANJ [ILL NATURED] PRESENTS A COOL NEW EXPIRAMENT LABELED: ' THE ''EMPTY SLOTS'' WHICH WAS PRIMARILY JUST GOING TO BE STRICTLY AN INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM, BUT I DECIDED I'D USE SOME 'LOST ENTRYS' WHICH I CALL ALL RANDOM WRITINGS FROM PAPER I EITHER NEVER USED OR NEVER WROTE TO A BEAT THEY ARE ALL JUST FREE-WRITES OVER SILENCE, WHICH FELL IN AS SUCH. THE BEATS HERE WERE JUST THOSE TYPE OF BEATS THAT JUST NEEDED A LITTLE T.L.C. TO REALLY FULL-BLOOM THEM. (HALF-WAYS)
THEY WERE SONGS INTENDED TO HAVE OTHER PEEPS ON BUT WERE KEPT IN A FILE & EVENTUALLY JUST ENDED UP COLLECTING DUST THUS BECOMING KEPT THE WAY THEY WERE, AS A MEANS OF RELIEF & RELEASE I SUPPOSE.

HENCE THE NAME "EMPTY SLOTS"
IT GIVES SOME CHILL VIBES AND SOME COMIC RELIEF AS ITS PLAYED AS A FULL ALBUM SO IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING, LOOSE, FREE AND SPECIFYING. I ACTUALLY LEARNED SOMETHING PRETTY COOL WHILE STARTING THIS ALSO, BY ACCIDENT, WHERE MY MIXES ARE SORT OF STARTING TO IMPROVE ALOT MORE. THESE TRACKS WERE MEANT TO BE EASY TO START AND FINISH, IN COMFORT AND CLEARNESS. THE SOUND IS ORGANIC WITH BARELY A TEENY NUDGE. MOSTLY TURN-TABLEY TYPE OF BEATS.

AFTER EVERY SONG'S PASSAGE IT JUST LETS THE BEATS RUN AND IS SOMEWHAT OF A 50/50 VERSE/ INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM WHICH IS PRETTY NEAT AND WAS A LOT OF FUN. FIRST OF ITS KIND, AS I WAS PENDING MY PRIMARY ALBUM AT THE MOMENT. CALLED "A NEW JOURNEY" WHICH WAS MY INITIATION DEDICATION PIECE TO 'ILL NATURED' KREW & MY BUDDY, GRIN FOR MENTORING ME ON A FEW THINGS WHICH WERE VERY HELPFUL TO MY SOUND QUALITY, AS WELL AS OFFERING ME AN APPRECIATED PIECE OF UNITY IN THE SQUAD.

THIS PIECE IS JUST AN INTERMISSIONARY ALBUM TO A FEW THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORKS AT THE MOMENT, ABOUT 4 ALBUMS I CAN THINK OF BESIDES THIS ARE SOON TO COME, FEATURING ME, ILL NATURED'S ORIGINAL: 'GRIN, DCEPT, & MEZCAL', AS WELL AS OUR RELATIVE-KREW, MAD SCIENTISTS' SMOKY MIRROR'., ALL GOOD BROTHERS WITH AMAZING TALENT, PLEASE LOOK THEM ALL UP. YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID !

IT'S PURE AND MADE JUST OUT OF THE ENJOYMENT YES, BUT MORESO THE CRAVING I HAVE AND INSEPERABILITY FROM BEATS AND RHYMES. IT IS REALLY ALL I LIVE FOR, AS A SACRAFICE TO THE ART WHICH I LOVE SO MUCH.

HOPE YOU CAN ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED PUTTING IT TOGETHER. IT REALLY JUST DID ITS OWN THING I WAS JUST THE HELPER :)

LOVE YOU ALL WHO STOP BY, THANKS AND SPREAD THE WORD !

ONE LOVE !
