🔥This seriously reminds me of the 90s. Going to Lowrider shows with the homies. On weekends we used to cruise the boulevard listening to jams, and chill at our usual spots.

[@jaydiggsmusic]

I wish I could have been there that sounds like the life! I was just being born around that time.

[@MINDY_CARAMELLA]

not so much grtap or gfunk

[@Ulexcool]

lmao ChatGPT ass comment

[@luap89]

Class 👏

[@Sputz3]

I can hear Warren G Feat: The Twinz on that! That was more 1994. The Warren G Gfunk sound. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@icecreambeats101]

Warren G!!!!!!

[@busyworksbeats]

It’s that intro drop 🔥

[@davido3109]

[@misterrandom3544]

Grove Street. Home. 🔥🔥🔥

[@Carl_Johnson-SA]

Atleast it was before i f-ed everything up...

[@joemomma6317]

G funk will always be one of my favorite genres bro. The vibes is unmatched. Finna cook up a lil westcoast bop later today

[@justincanton]

Nice beat bro, although we did use computers in the 90s in studios, mainly it was an Atari that was used with Notator or Cubase software to trigger midi. ✌🏼😊

[@TheChiversBeatCompany]

Pac would have killed this one !! Just missing some Flexatone ... Oh bro I'm missing those days so much !!! AMAZING JAY THANKS ❤❤ 🔥🔥🔥

[@jaydiggsmusic]

you're right, the flexatone is iconic! I should have bought one haha

[@darkskinwhite]

idk what Pac would've liked, but this sounds way cleaner than any Pac, this sounds more like sonme Quik shit to me if anything. Quik had that gangsta disco type shit on lock.

[@manrique_1984]

🔥🔥🔥 93 'til Infinity

[@tiffanyanthony]

Damn! Like a time warp! In 1992 I was a year out of high school, driving to college with the top down, blasting “Rhythm is a Dancer.” At night, we were hitting the clubs with fake IDs. Thanks for bringing the memories back!

[@jaydiggsmusic]

You're welcome! Sounds like ya'll were living your best life!

[@Prod_by_Svengali]

I’m getting more 1994 vibes

[@hhhpestock951]

[@DejuanJohn]

Perhaps 1997

[@lisasimp135]

Almost 98

[@handeif]

Maaaaan if you don't! 😂😂😂

[@theghettoracle]

Your talent is a breath of fresh air homie. Like a live music time machine,. Respect!🔥🔥🔥 2Pac - "Can't C Me" & Ice Cube - "What Can I Do"

[@sagcap7927]

Yep! Sounds like us in the 90’s 👌🏾 nice beat.

[@YotamPiano]

Great beat, funky and soulful just the way I like it !!!

[@joelcorelitzmusic]

This is sick! My favorite 90s production is Let me Ride - the drum groove, the samples, and that synth lead. Oh, and the orchestra hits between verses. 🔥

[@cardbored_]

[@SilentDProductions]

A little late in droppin a comment but I tell you that you keep these videos so fresh and the nostalgic factor on one, King Jay! I love me that classic West Coast vibe and I always wanted to get more into bringing that classic Era...also I wish I was born juuuuust a bit earlier since 92 was my birth year 🤣🤣 Speaking of which...you do SO WELL keeping the Era according to the subject and you break downs are very detailed. As for my fave songs...I have to say Gin & Juice & also Nuthin But A G Thang 🔥🔥🔥✊🏿👑🙌🏿🎹🎶🎵

[@rubenofthemoon6805]

Pure nostalgia! I’ve been thinking of creating a 90s G funk song and this really inspired me to. Love the energy on this video!

[@Lightlycontrast]

Yo you’re extremely underrated! I like how your beats sound and feel very authentic compared to a lot of new stuff you usually hear nowadays. I’m used to using a DAW from my laptop and basically teach myself to make beats. Right now I’m trying improve the quality of my beats and these types of videos teach me more about how it’s done!

[@DJKennyMan]

That was another excellent video sir. 🔥🔥🔥

[@jamesmcnamaramusic]

This was fantastic! I loved seeing all the synthesizers in action, keep it up 🔥🔥🔥

[@derrickfarrier9637]

LOOOOOOVE IT!!!! Man as a fellow producer using the literally the same drum samples as in the video (albeit a different genre) I really love to see other producers making beats in real time.

[@BlackHumaya]

Greetings from Mexico!!! Maximum respect!!💣💥🔥🔥🔥

[@andrewsalas1154]

I follow a lot of top-notch producers on KZbin, and your distinctiveness truly shines through in your music and videos. While many have adapted to the modern sound, you remain faithful to the classic 90s vibe, and you execute it flawlessly. The Long Beach West Coast sound was iconic in its time, you couldn't have done it better, STR8 dope! I hope to see more of your work in this genre. By the way, if you're looking for a West Coast song from the 90s, check out the lead on Mad CJ Mac's "Come And Take A Ride." Peace and blessings bro!

[@jeno.javori_music]

Really AMazing!
