One of my boys from home Manu Arora, produced this album. This is his first release as a producer and as a way of telling you how much hard work he put in to this, NOT TO MAKE A DIME AT ALL, here's a check list so it measures up to your hip hop standards:

Purchased over 300- 10 cent records from College Park Record Shop - Check.
Listened to ALL albums to select snippets of which ones he liked, from all genre's (flamenco music, soul, classic rock, JAPANESE rock...) - Check.
Completed his certification program at Omega Recording Studios so that he could fine tune this album - Check.
Purchased a new computer, turn tables, a compressor, studio headphones and a whole lot of other stuff from Sweetwater Magazine - Check.
Produced over 13 different versions per song (13 total) just to make sure it was DECENT for this album - Check.
Worked his ass off, for the love of Hip Hop, and for Free??? - CHECK.


Please. Please Please PRETTY PLEASE OMG PLEASE. Listen to this album.

I'm on the song by myself.. I must say this music sounds mad good, and very creative song titles! For one it's music I can see me listening to when I just want to chill and relax. To tell you the truth the only reason why I listened to this is because of his love for music. I hope to hear more stuff coming out! :)

just checked the album on facebook...your boy is definitely sick with the melody. i have a friend who was a musical prodigy and had scholarship offers coming outta middle school. all this kid did in his free time was browse old school vinyls for classical and vocal samples, and mixed them with his own old school flavor beats. hella creative stuff man...it makes me smile to see the flip side of whack ass soulja boy fruity loops bullshiii (don't mod me bro :))

I'll never mod you for that!

Manu, another boy of ours Tom, and I are part of a rap crew called Def Presidents (no we're not about money haha). Since we haven't been able to do anything for quite sometime, I'm extremely happy for Manu and how hard he's worked. The album's theme is wonderful high, just as the album is called. You start off in the morning, go through your highs, and your lows, and by the end of it, you kind of feel what anyone could feel, and what Manu intended for you guys to feel at the end.

Thank you BTF community for peeping this....Let's get some more listeners. If you guys could post about it in Facebook, or even change that profile pic to mine on Facebook (Nikhil Gunvantrai Desai), you'd be making me so happy. Thank you all!!

def an amazing and awesome effort....the samples are really interesting and creative

the one thing i would critique is that the drum kits he's using are very similar in all the songs, which makes each song sound very similar...maybe thats what hes going for so i dunno...but i wouldve liked to see more variety in the drum kits, especially the bass and kick hits.

the sampling however is on pointtt and really is a great piece of production! kudos to ur man
