Neo-Noir: Nas Laces an Entirely Digitally-Produced Track with a Classic Sound


It's good to know that technology and "the internets" can be used for good in this day and age of music. The past few weeks have been wrought with auto-tune hate and a cry for the days of crate digging and vinyl scratching.

The bottom line is, though -- shit changes. We can't live in the past forever. Here's what Queensbridge vet Mr. Nasir Jones recently had to say about digital production:

"With digital, it's a lot faster, it's a lot easier—so it's all good. There's probably a sound difference between digital and analog, but I haven't figured it out yet so I just keep it moving."

So there you have it. If Nas can keep it movin', the rest of us can too.

Check out this entirely digitally produced track by young'n C-Sick (an 18 year-old contest winner hailing from Chi-Town), "Film". You can't tell me this doesn't take you back to the heyday of dark, message-driven '90s east coast rap.
