Was going through some past work and came back across this cover I did for Prodigy. This is by far the most involved album cover I ever did. The most collaborative and most time spent working on (exactly 2 years from start to album drop; even though most of the foundation was done within the first day or two). It probably contains some things I don’t even think P noticed + some things he asked me to put in that I didn’t fully understand, and probably even has some things in there I forgot about. P was really ahead of his time and yet it still feels relevant in these crazy days. #RIPPRODIGY

Throwback Thursday
@illaghee2k feat @rim_davillin “Dope Pushers”
Prod by @domdirtee
S/O @duckdownmusic

Back when I only sampled and made beats w/the ASR-10

Throwback Thursday!! Dom Dirtee feat Lil Fame & Teflon of MOP “Kill Switch” 🔥 Happy Birthday to my man Fame!! This is one of my favorite joints I ever did and we got more in store.

TLDR: I developed a daily hip-hop alert that cataloged pretty much all notable albums and events from the 80s to 2005 (with exception) + birthdays + a daily classic radio mix show from that time period that gets selected at random every day. I’m still developing and refining it but if u want it, leave a comment and I’ll DM you instructions on how to download it. 1
