The 4B Sessions
My good friend Murphy recently sent me a giant Adelphi Street sign that inspired me to try to capture some of the spirit of our time with Jay and others in Brooklyn in the late 90’s. As the force would have it, in the process of this, I stumbled on a collection of samples that spoke to me with some BK swing. So I did what any sane person with a day job that isn’t making beats would do. I made a collection of 7 beats all dedicated to the planet for the 21 year old version of me and you.

I started a thank you list and it got really long. You know who you are and I am sending love and appreciation to you all. I dedicate this to the teenage version of ourselves.
