NEW MUSIC // ALBUM UPDATE

Just finished my last track on the album, this is an incredible project and I'm really excited to release it.

If "Five For 5" was the butter bread this album would be the T bone steak, string beans and mash potatoes  haha 

I really dug deep with this album, I kept it real soulful, and lyrical.

I kept the concepts together and I took it back to my grass roots.

Unlike "Five for 5" which was an experimental conceptual project this album is something that I would let my grandma listen too, I'm really proud of this project.

Right now its in its mixing stage, I want to take my time and mix it properly with analog equipment to give it an more vintage feel, as time progress you will understand what that mean.

So far I released two offering s off the project "HURTFUL" & "BLESSED" which are doing very very well on the streaming charts, better than I expected and I appreciate all the love support and purchases.  

You guys support is really what keeps me pushing to make great music even with the busy schedule i currently have.

The next offering is called "GLORY'' look out for it in the next few days. 

 

THROWBACK THURSDAY // FRESH PRINCE x RING MY BELL

 

DRAGONBALL Z // GOKU VS NAPPA

 

THE FRESH PRICE x HOMEBASE

 The Fresh Prince aka Will Smith is definitely slepted on in the Hip Hop conversation, this album to me is an classic project, I grew up listening and watching the Fresh Prince on television, making an concussions decision not to curse on a track and still make a dope album is unheard of especially during an era of gangster rap. Will Smith stayed true to himself and for that he's one of my favorite  MC's.

TOP 5 dead or alive!!! 

Remember Jay Z and Jaz O tried to take his style with Hawaiian Sophie, just saying lol

KANYE WEST x DONDA

 

THROWBACK THURSDAY // Kanye West x I Wonder

 This song along with "Bittersweet Poetry" changed my perspective of hiphop music, prior to Kanye West Graduation  I was a huge fan of 50 Cent & G Unit aggressive style of music. 

14 years later this is still hands down one for my favorite songs. 

First Offering From My Forthcoming Project

 My first offering from my new project dropping very soon, the project is almost finished, but I want to re-mix the songs again with "analog equipment" to give it a more Vintage Sound, this song is very powerful and I dug very deep with my lyrical and story telling abilities. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 

Something different from your boy indeed. 

This project is a CLASSIC!!! 

CiNEMATOGRAPHY // GEMINI MAN

 

One of my personal favorite movies.

The Journey

This project is very special to me, it's based during a time period where I was heavily inspired by UK & Brooklyn Drill.

 Pop smoke was alive when I started writing this album which originally was called "Elderts Lane Demo Tape" or "Elderts Lane To Queens Express Way" 

 Pop smokes death was a huge blow to the Brooklyn Drill movement, I wanted to pay homage to this movement by naming my project after the street that merges Queens & Brooklyn, I also use to hang out in East New York in my teens.

My writing process started mid 2019. The first track I wrote was "Smooth Operator" & "Two Step" Both very aggressive tracks. I wrote 10 more aggressive tracks including "High Fashion" & "Robbery". 

Overtime my taste pallet grew, I wanted to experiment with the drill sound, add some soul samples, add some feminine energy, so I started writing love songs a few songs about sexual desires, I wrote a few positive anthems as well.  Before I knew it I had a huge project with over 25 tracks. Hint the name 5 for 5. 

I took 5 tracks from the 25 that were in their demo form and constructed an epic story that's both sexy and edgy, this project isn't for weak hearted. 

I'm speaking some real shit and I didn't want to hold back.

I added one more track to glue the album together but it's still 5 for 5 haha or should I have made it 5 for 6. Lol 

Countless nights driving around listening to this project in it's early form, writing up ideas. 

I had this project mixed by 8 different mixers, and wasn't happy with any of their mixes, this failure pushed me to start learning to become a better mixer, I took 6 months off to study and intern with engineers and learn how to mix properly. 

It paid off. 

My name is Najee aka Naj 

This is my debut EP entitled Five For 5 and I hope you enjoy

See you for the next one
