Moonsatellite – MARTIAN GRAFFITI (beat tape)

About halfway through my album, I feel compelled to add a "traditional" sounding kick to this one song. "Should I?" I ask myself. Maybe just one kick might round it out, just maybe. But as I listen to the playback, I'm taken back to my middle school days of pause tapes. You know, manually looping the best parts of the best songs from my radio in my dual-deck cassette stereo & my endless stash of Radio Shack cables. Feeling the same exhilaration of finding the perfect loop and playing it over and over - that sweet, raw, rare loop that nobody else probably got. That's what I felt listening to this new beat.

So I followed my heart, let it repeat. And that beat - like the rest of the songs that make "MARTIAN GRAFFITI" what it is - was like no other song I had ever done - some of the rawest, purest, illest shit I ever experienced. Let me share my experience with you. This release is designed to transport you back to the real era of stuffing tissue in the holes of your favorite Maxell, TDK and or Memorex, pressing record and getting busy capturing the raw essence of hip-hop culture. Welcome home. Cop "MARTIAN GRAFFITI" and tell me your story. Buck the traditional and welcome back to the grit and the dirt; that raw, illlllll shit.

 LAZERS.

Moonsatellite – Marvin (Host Vocals by Count Bass D)

In 2006, I was featured on DJ A To The L’s “Spam Filters” Mixtape, hosted by the one and only “rapper with the most chords” Count Bass D. It was a major honor to say the least. I did this chop when I was living in the Bay, Union City, CA to be exact. One of my faaaaavorite Marvin Gaye songs, I been wearing it out for years, so the chop came to me naturally, after years of honing the skill set of course. This was before I moved to El Ay, years after the shoulder-length dredlocks and Tascam four track days in ATL. Veteran status, do believe.
