Joanna Preciado: new beats from Black Ant
|
I asked Black Ant what's the deal behind his new beat tape, Joanna Preciado. Like, who is that on the digital cover? The teenage beatmaker from Hollywood Florida explained:
J.P. brings the same kind of rough-beats-coated-in-syrup as Black Ant's Free Beats Sel. 3, of which Macedonia had a nice write-up back in February. He described Black Ant as "on his way to being a pad-punching, knob-twiddling Jedi" and that sounds definitely agree. Last I heard from Black Ant he was off to make another beat, honing his craft, but these are still just sketches (and a bit rawer than Sel. 3 actually) so I'd love to hear something more complete. Actually, what I'd really love to hear is some of these Creative Commons BY-NC-SA Black Ant beats mashed with Kiila for Issue Project Room's remix contest... |

the kids are alright (no, really they are...)
At 36 years of age, I find myself growing more restless by the day. There are times that I feel twice my age, destined to become the ranting old coot that throws stuff from his front porch at passersby just because I can. I resent the fact that my waking hours are spent at a place doing duties I could care less about and then having to steal back time and fight off sleep to do what I'm passionate about. I resent a lot of sh*t, actually.
With that being said, it's nice to look upon the youth and see boundless potential, to know that there are heads coming up behind me that are light years ahead in possibilities. Consider the young lord out of Hollywood, Florida named Black Ant, beatmaker in training. Judging from his Free Beats Sel. 3 collection, he is well on his way to being a pad-punching, knob-twiddling Jedi. Joints like the horn-drenched "government funded weed" and the head nod-inducing "Underdog" make me smile, plus they have me excited about what this hip-hop wunderkind will be creating in the next five years.
Sit back, relax, and take a minute and change to achieve bliss with the spaced-out selection "Oh K." And once it's over, remind yourself that the brother's still in high school...
