South Side of LA. Prod By Lady Tha ProducHer
This track was fully produced on the Beat Kangz Electronics Beat Thang Virtual software. While my direction with this song was not clear upon starting to put it together, I was surely initially thinking Hip-Hop. However, after I began playing around with those suweeet keys, the track went in a different direction.
I changed the kicks, the bass line, and threw in some space fillers. I’d still love to get a dope lyrical genius on top of this, and throw some singing on the hook.
For showcasing, I dumped a stereo wav into Cubase, put an aural exciter on it, and the iZotope Vinyl effect on the end. It has 4 snares slightly panned away from each other, 2 kicks, 3 tracks of keys played differently, bass line, hi-hat, etc. I used 14 of the 16 tracks on the BTV. Enjoy!

Jermajesty (Jermaine Rashad Carter) moved to LA as a kid from the Bay Area, and has been performing dance and rap since a young age. He bought his first studio equipment in 1999, and at that time he wanted to produce and write. In 2006, Straight No Chaser Magazine titled him as one of the top 5 producers in Los Angeles and described his style as “raw and jazzy.”
Jermajesty mixes creative sampling with synths, guitars and various percussion. His top influences are Stevie Wonder, MJ,Steely Dan, A Tribe called Quest, Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton, DJ Quik,Q-Tip, JayDee, DJ Premier, Gamble and Huff and the Mizell Brothers.
Jermajesty released one mixtape, “Cooler Heads Prevail” in 2008 and has been featured on “The Sound of LA” which was an instrumental project released by Plug Research featuring up and coming veteran LA Beatsmiths. He is currently working on another project called “One and Done,” which features one verse songs over simple loops and instrumentation.

“Astro” as he is known to friends and fans, epitomizes many if not all of the correlations attributed to his name. Prodigious, epic, massive, are all perfect descriptions of Astro’s appeal and talent. This kid is a monster when it comes to writing and rhyming!!! Yes, he writes his own rhymes!!!
