J-Free (Beats)

That's what Asterisk called me. I didn't like it at first, this was...2 years ago...but now i'm starting to think it's kinda dope lol

So here's a collection of free beats that I'd like to go viral. Download them, rap over them, bootleg them if possible, just spread it around.

...Most of them didn't take long to make anyway.

"Slice'n'Dice" ft Barack Obama

My, Peoples...

All of the people below I have personally reached out to, either in person, over the phone, or through the net to let them know that they've inspired me as a hip-hop fan and as an artist.

So I really encourage people to do the same for these artists that put out their music to the world for free, it's the least we can do to show some appreciation.

I'm not bootlegging--all of these artists put their projects out for free. Click on the pictures to download their album/mixtapes.


Dice - Delusionz Of Grandeur


j. lately - Straight Outta Somewhere


Blinks - How Was Therapy?



Black ELement - A Major Minority


Jelani - Wait, You Can Rap?!?


Gotdion's Mighty Morphin Mixtape Vol. 1


And there's plenty more artists that I would put up like Young Man Pit's "Essence Of Life", and Overflow's "The Renaissance", and Blue Scholars' - Bayani but they probably won't me permission to upload their music :(

The Middle




Download "The Middle" by Jeph
I dont know who produced it
but it was on the
Pac Div mixtape
and yes, I looped it.


so...

I'm in the middle of alotta things...

that includes: a mixtape, an album, and the middle of my game.

Now when say i'm in the middle of my game...

...i don't mean that.

I'm basically saying I don't think i'm at the top of my game, but i damn sure didn't just start doing this. I'm not in my prime yet, and I haven't reached the height of my potential. I've been doing this for a lil over 5 years, and when people try to tell me I should be shooting for the top and sending out , I often disagree...and not just out of modesty.

It's all about timing.

So imagine me knocking on your door every day like "hey, check out my new painting!!!".lol...

If I'm only getting a little better every day, the opportunity for the first impression diminishes, and my work starts looking like spam mail.

And some people are gonna disagree with this and say "jeph, you gotta go out and grind everyday!!".

Yeah, ok, but it's not about how hard you work...it's about how smart you work. I respect other artists grinds, but if you say you write 3-16's everyday? ...

that sounds like certain work ethic yall might know too well


But some people are still good at it, irregardless, that just tells me that they could be doing way better if they put more time into it. It's amazing how you can gain perspective by waiting and practically letting the art create itself.

So after this self-assessment...I think i've proved that I am not procrastinating! lol

However

The man Dice brought up an important point: I still need to put up more music. And I agree cuz it has been a while. But I wanna keep some of this upcoming mixtape music fresh, So I can't put up the songs i wanna put up just yet...matterfact...i'm wasting time...

i'ma start recording right now

8/8/09 - re-upped the track with vocals turned up more
