Why did you choose this Beyonce track to remix?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I chose this track because one, it was just a hit and deserves a flip…secondly, the song stood for something to be, and just praising the color of my skin. And while so many people are hating Beyonc\u00e9 right now, I’m sucking it in and spitting it back out… my way!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you get it done so fast?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I got it done within a week! Like as soon as it dropped, I was on it, and it’s not like that for many tracks I make which can take up to two years. It had an easy flow for me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What’s your sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just some exciting, bass driven, minimal and direct beats that still give you a feeling inside.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are you working on now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I just finished scoring the KiKi<\/a>\u00a0film…we’re promoting that now heavy. My label Qween Beat<\/a>‘s first compilation is due out soon and then I’m headed right back into the studios to work on more solo material and a few remixes\/production for artists.<\/p>\n
