Happy New Year. A little something different trying to inspire a laugh.

I’ve been spending a lot of time sharpening fundamentals. Scratching drills first, but also production, listening deeper, and lots of vibe based beats. I’ve been thinking about the infinity beat making method and then rewatching Three Amigos, I felt like I had to make this little comedic musical bit for fun.

This clip is built around the impossibly long note from The Three Amigos. It uses the classic infinity producer method to stretch the note across the bars, then flips it with drums and scratch bass. There is a tiny micro-beat inside. It’s meant as a tribute to producers who taught patience, groove, and restraint, with a subtle nod to Dilla-inspired feel.

This isn’t about technical flexing. The scratching is really basic. It’s more about feel, comedy, and storytelling than skill level.

This is also my first time recording video scratches in my new setup and my first sessions fully moved over to djay Pro. I’m still learning, but super excited about the creative possibilities.

Big thanks to the new friends who’ve helped me navigate new tools and refine drills. Hoping 2026 is the year a few long-worked-on ideas finally see the light. More scratches coming. This one is just for fun.

Now shipping! Thanks for your patience.

Just had a full-circle moment. I’ve been hanging out at the Octagon with the crew there, and I was blessed with the chance to get one of my beats on Dirt Style Records – Unreleased Breaks No. 96.
I’ve been downloading every Dirt Style release the second they drop and practicing to them for YEARS… so having one of my beats included is wild and honestly an honor.

This video starts with some drills and ends with me freestyling and having fun.
Hope you dig it — and definitely grab the new unreleased breaks, there’s a ton of heat on there.
Still learning every day, but man… I love scratching and enjoy my practice time.
