Creating "CHECC ME OUT" by Nipsey Hussle | BackTrak

Don Cannon lands in sunny California to meet with legendary West Coast producers Mike & Keys as they embark on the breakdown of "Checc Me Out" by Nipsey Hussle.
"Checc Me Out," a dynamic collaboration featuring Nipsey Hussle, Dom Kennedy, and Cobby Supreme, encapsulates the essence of West Coast hip-hop. Released as part of Nipsey's acclaimed mixtape "Crenshaw," this track serves as a testament to his commitment to authenticity and hustle. The song's production, handled by Mike & Keys (formerly known as The Futuristics) and 1500 or Nothin', is a masterclass in musical innovation.
As a part of the "Crenshaw" mixtape, this track also highlights Nipsey's innovative approach to music distribution, famously selling limited edition copies for $100 each, demonstrating his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to creating value for his art. "Checc Me Out" is more than music; it's a movement, a statement, and a reflection of Nipsey Hussle's enduring impact on the culture.

Damn I remember using Reason for a long time, and he's right, Reason is dope but you had to freak it to make it work with certain things. But it's a beast of a program. I use Ableton now but I will always respect Reason.

[@atoeight]

WTF DON, CHECC ME OUT TOO?!

[@BtwSki]

What software is the beat being made on?

[@atoeight]

& Why I’m Still Blocked On The GN Page?

[@atoeight]

Fuck a highlight let’s make highlights in rap history! (Yall should know I don’t give a fuck how people perceive my approach to whatever I do. Not saying alighted this but in general) Most people don’t even like their own perception of themselves, if that’s why I been getting dissed can I get a piss off, respectfully? I don’t take no’s for an answer, but we both know that’s not what’s best, especially looking at where the state of the culture is.

[@michaelwashington9388]

Reason 5 just made me cringe 😭 you couldn’t even record audio into it back then, I Wonder what they used to record

[@michaelwashington9388]

Bruh i litterally would record into my phone and make it into a Rex file I so I could import vocals 😭🥹 we’ve come so far

[@TmrONetwork]
