1 year since we lost the legendary Marvin "The Fly" Kee

This year Mo Gravy Records will be releasing a number of projects that Marvin was involved in. Even though Marv passed on, his spirit and energy is still with us. There is still a lot of his music to be shared with the world, as he was working on multiple projects and bringing his personal flavour of funk all the way up until the very end. We are looking forward to sharing Marv's music with everyone who knew him and with those who get to experience it for the first time. There was truly no one like this man and today we take time to remember and reflect.

New track from The Dirty Sample!!

Butterbreath -

Welcome to the culinary world of beats, where the stove is hot, the ingredients are fresh, and the flavor is unmatched. "Butterbreath" the latest musical creation by hip-hop producer The Dirty Sample, invites listeners on a sensory journey through his love of butter and the gritty allure of lofi beats. In this album, The Dirty Sample masterfully combines the richness of buttery textures with the raw, unfiltered essence of grimy lofi beats, resulting in a sonic feast that's as comforting as it is adventurous.

French Butter Disque de la Frite

Ingredients:
Piano Elegance: The melody, akin to a carefully chosen main ingredient, introduces a touch of sophistication. The piano notes dance gracefully, creating a foundation that resonates with both elegance and nostalgia.

Light Vocal Essence: Like a sprinkle of herbs, the light vocal samples add a subtle yet distinct flavor to the composition. The voices, carefully selected and expertly integrated, serve as a delicate seasoning that elevates the overall auditory experience.

Lo-fi Drum Groove: The rhythmic backbone of the track, the lo-fi drums act as the simmering pot, providing the beats that gently stir the sonic concoction. The deliberate imperfections in the drum patterns add a layer of authenticity, much like the imperfect charm of a well-worn cooking utensil.

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat the Atmosphere: Begin by preheating the atmosphere with the initial piano notes. Let them resonate, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that sets the stage for the auditory feast to come.

Saute Vocal Samples: Gently sauté the light vocal samples, allowing their essence to blend seamlessly with the piano. Be cautious not to overpower; instead, let them infuse the mix with a nuanced, airy quality.

Simmering Drum Beats: Introduce the lo-fi drum groove slowly, allowing it to simmer and meld with the existing elements. The beats should be like a rhythmic simmer, steadily building intensity without overshadowing the delicate balance of flavors.

Gradual Crescendo: As the track progresses, let the composition reach a gradual crescendo. The piano, vocals, and drums should harmonize, creating a symphony of tastes and textures that crescendos to a satisfying peak.

Tasting Notes:

"Buttered Disque de la Frite" is a musical delicacy that invites listeners to savor each layer of its composition. The piano serves as the primary course, with the light vocal samples providing a nuanced seasoning. The lo-fi drums act as the rhythmic heartbeat, guiding the track's progression with a comforting familiarity. Together, these elements create a sonic dish that is both refined and soulful, leaving a lingering aftertaste of musical satisfaction.

Conclusion: In "Buttered Disque de la Frite," The Dirty Sample crafts a sonic recipe that combines elegance, subtlety, and authenticity. Like a well-prepared dish, the track unfolds with precision, inviting listeners to indulge in the rich flavors of its piano, light vocal samples, and lo-fi drums. A true auditory delicacy that leaves the palate craving for more.
