G.C. Presents… Freshness: The Sampler

by Kevin on November 15, 2008 · 33 comments

Most of you may remember G.C. as the producer who nearly dominated every week in our last remix contest. Since the contest ended a few months ago, I’ve sort of taken G.C. under my wing and he signed me up as his manager. G.C. has been busy working hard on new beats.  He’s got a project in the works with emcee Trav Williams and has a few placements on upcoming albums with Vice and Tudakay.

This beat sampler is a collection of beats that have not been commited to any artist yet.  We’re looking for any emcee interested to hop on these tracks for inclusion in G.C.’s first album, Freshness. So if you’re interested and think you got what it takes, hit me up!

*UPDATE!*

Wow, the response so far has been phenomenal! I am really looking forward to hearing some seroius heat! Thanks again for all the positive feedback and interest!

So far, we have takers on Endless Summer, Sinister Masquerade, and Darling Maybe. Tokyo, let me know what you decide and we will put you down!

12 Kevin November 16, 2008 at 2:30 pm

What up Tokyo! Yeah, it’s just a part time thing for now. Still learning the ropes. I got a lot of faith in G.C., so I’m just doin what I can for him. If things work out and we start expanding, I’ll let you know.

13 Tokyo Cigar November 16, 2008 at 2:51 pm

Put me down for The heavy dialect joint.

14 Tommylux November 16, 2008 at 2:52 pm

Hot damn, GC, those beats are amazing! My faves are Endless Summer and that Ode To Bob james. Given that Summer’s already taken, I might wanna try the other one if that’s ok with you

15 Cenzo November 16, 2008 at 2:54 pm

16 Rouh November 16, 2008 at 4:06 pm

Peace 1

17 Thomas November 16, 2008 at 4:15 pm

This is Hot! Please tell me that Trav is getting “Endless Summer” and/or “When the Sun Comes Out”?

Nice work.

18 Young K November 16, 2008 at 5:36 pm

I like how he filters his shit.

19 Polkaface November 16, 2008 at 8:15 pm

Damn it’s hot! Holla, if you want some Danish rap on, too.

20 S.2 November 17, 2008 at 7:34 pm

Very nice. But I wish you didn’t pan ur drums to the left all the time. Its a bit distracting. Thats just me though. Still nice work.

21 FlamesYall November 18, 2008 at 7:57 am

Hey, G.C., you got some nice beats here. Is ‘Darling Maybe’ a Stylistics sample? If so, I think I sampled the same track…

I like how you flipped it. You can hear mine at http://www.myspace.com/flamesyall

Look forward to absorbing the rest of your tracks. I may have a UK MC who could be interested…

22 Tommylux November 18, 2008 at 1:05 pm

Yeah, I used that Stylistics sample too. I even used a very small part of it in my remix of Jay-Z’s “I know”, which should be somewhere in the forum and still on my Myspace page

23 FlamesYall November 18, 2008 at 1:16 pm

Yo, that’s nice Tommy, I like what you did with it. I love your Common remix too… Nice style, man.

24 Tommylux November 18, 2008 at 1:26 pm

Thanks. been tryin to check out yours too but for some reason the player won’t load, might have to try again later

25 FlamesYall November 18, 2008 at 1:33 pm

That’s bizarre, it’s all right my end. Give me a holla when you do. I’m gonna DL your AM remixes… Where did you get you accs? Especially the Common one?

26 G.C. November 18, 2008 at 3:42 pm

Ayo, good look to everyone who has checked out the sampler!! We already have one track recorded, looking for more! So far we have the following taken:

Endless Summer
Darling Maybe
Heavy Dialect
Sinister Masquerade
Ode to Bob James (Tommylux wanted it right?)

Hit me or Kev up if you want inclusion on another. One!

dj juls

28 Tommylux November 19, 2008 at 2:41 pm

Yeah GC, I’d love to use the Bob James one. I’ll try and get on it ASAP, but it might take a while. I can make it custom-like for you if you want, so if you were thinking about a particular kind of subject you’d like to have addressed on this beat, let me know

29 Young K November 21, 2008 at 1:58 pm

consider when the sun comes out done.

30 G.C. November 21, 2008 at 8:37 pm

Anyone who has finished tracks send them to 88elements@gmail.com and final decisions will be made if multiple entries are made per track. Hit me up, let me hear what you got! One!

31 Young K November 23, 2008 at 10:09 pm

Did my track to sun comes out. Hope i win this shit

32 Young K December 17, 2008 at 10:15 pm

when we gone get some news on this shit?

33 Kevin December 17, 2008 at 10:31 pm

We’re still in the process of shopping the beats around. Got some good stuff for the LP already though. We’re shooting for a 1st Quarter release if things go as planned. But like all projects, things happen. G.C. and I are throwing around ideas for the album’s overall concept and then there’s the new artwork and mastering of the tracks. Still a lot of work to put in. Reading back on your comments, this wasn’t meant to be a contest, but we’ll let you know if we decide to use your track.
