better than all the rhythm roulette vids I've seen. respect to Kev brown! seriously one of the best producers out there

[@gakdaniels76]

There is nothing better than having your head right.Sitting in front of the MP on a rainy day with a fresh stack of wax.

[@odeed]

I remember a guy selling those "drum machines have no soul" stickers outside Ameba.What a great idea to throw it on one.Classic.

[@ruffiankick]

kev's drum are by far the Grimeiest drums ive heard in a While

[@RussellBradley]

Ha! Trek-Life was going in, and Kev Brown ofcourse with that soulfulness.

[@NeckNoddin]

kev brown = king of the bassline + monster on the mpc

[@ruffiankick]

seems like he NEVER QUANTIZES joints! haha I love how his beats sound.. clean and gritty at the SAMN TIME

[@TruthHides34]

everybody's watching him making a beat...i hate when people watch me do anything

[@williammosley6327]

Overt your eyes

[@tvcent4651]

Yo same I can't function properly aye I just shut off I'm real self conscious n shit

[@encdee]

this man is infallible behind the mpc. seriously the way he staggers his rhythms is a fool proof recipe for dopeness on every track.

[@RemedyBiz]

Kev and homie were puttin down baars.

[@Irobertcmassey]

We need more from u KeV, don't keep us waiting!

[@joelco92]

[@jermson]

3:05-3:55 A Kev Brown beat without a Bassline, is like Kev Brown without glasses...I can't see it!!!! For some reason, I'm feeling a Andre' 3000 and Kev Brown collabo on this.

[@NONcorrupt]

[@Jra9008]

[@bazdkikam]

KEV BROWN IS GENIUS MAN

[@splendorman1]

So dope..He's a great man..

[@stefanodincecco]

King!

[@xS3NTRYx]

Kev is amazing...

[@infyouth]

RAAB essentially what that means is that the drum machine ITSELF doesn't have soul,but the person working it does (plus inanimate objects of any kind don't have a soul). It's what YOU put into it,it's how YOU freak your samples and it's how YOU put things together.

[@psychesoap]

LMNO!!! AY HEY BROTHA!!!

[@ruffiankick]

for those who dont know what the artist is its "sheb wooley"

[@Spacejesus123]

absolutely amazing. hes kinda funny too. very interactive. i like that

[@S1thembiso]

King of the baselines

[@fortydeebz]

Drum machines have no soul. Subscribed.

[@CuzCompanyProduction]

[@SurgeCess]

Trek Life! He do rock it

[@GRAFIKproductions]

Hands down my favorate producer right now. Kev is killin em! I mean this beat is disgusting! And the fact that he made it from that record. I would have never touched that record but he killed it. Real MD hip hop! Respect!

[@Keukeu45]

[@Sambamoller]

Anyone who knows where I can get Kev's final beat?

[@erdemOB]

sample : Sheb Wooley - The Answer

[@juentare1485]

he makes it look easy

[@alexanderprzybysz9560]

It comes with practice, you will notice your ear trying to sample every old song you hear

[@strayexcel]

Alexander Przybysz this is completely true. once you start; you don't go back. i enjoy music in a whole different way.

[@runedarkwarrior]

stray XL i swear i cant stop it

[@migraine516]

I wish I still had my MPC. I sold it over 10 years ago.

[@notyou95]

[@Breakbeats92.5]

A good craftsman never blames his tools. Like Jhon MacEnroe said, "it's not the racquet."

[@ao9297]

Someone in that crowd rode the short bus

[@goldbonebillionaire]

@BLAZINBEATS123 yeah, i agree.

[@JayJayRealhiphop]

[@The44kGaming]

My head started noddin itself on 2:50 ;p ;D

[@MadMageOne]

[@TRAYEZIM1]

kev you killed it bruh! holla 585/718 love! TRAY EZIM SHOUTIN U OUT!

[@justinrogers3705]

Couldn't you just sample your sound and the chop it in the trimming instead of sampling a bunch of different samples? (Not sarcasm, genuinely wondering) is there a difference?

[@rockbwoyindabuilding5397]

Justin Rogers its faster that way and saves space

[@maranmalagon9625]

No sarcasm on my part either, but isn't the end result what matters?

[@nicktk1]

@UpAboveRecords Just fyi, its not a drum machine its a sampler

[@xt3chniQs]

i like his drum machines have no soul sticker,.

[@prettdboy]

I'm still trying to figure how he listens to samples??....Because I would have considered the song he samped from to be worthless and wack, but he used it and made it mad soulful and dope!! Kev Brown is underrated! This was extremely inspirational! I have to agree... It's not what you use but how you use it!!

[@Fazer88]

where can i find i find the track on the beat or is it just a freestyle one never released?

[@Jaycayo]

i need that sheb wooley record lol..that song that plays @ 0:45 sounds like it'd be a tough sample

[@igotssssoul]

@UpAboveRecords Really appreciate the info. I just emailed him.

[@mladakmica]

who is the guy rappin it kills it?

[@onslaught77]

it's Trek life, a "teammate" of kev breezy and he's more or less affiliates to the kev brown's Low Budget Crew. Yeah I'm agree, he's dope !

[@flatpockets]

Nice vid... The song from the new album is dope

[@ruffiankick]

dude got an Ear for Choppin' he listens with his soul.. think about it..

[@Stoney-Jacksman]

@goingplastic exactly, i often quote Jeru when it comes to guys like this.. i just say.."with all that bla bla bla youre playing yoself."

[@oguzsamsa4134]
