Look At Us Now | Grown-man Hip-Hop (2004)

The Story Behind The Music

"Look At Us Now" Original, organic Beat - Moody instruMental Music by Taurus M. James 

Look At Us Now is a smooth, laid-back, reflective original beat featuring a light piano, bass and and strings over a lo-fi drums. Think "EPMD" on this one.

"Smooth, laid-back, reflective beat like EPMD."

I was thinling about the people I grew up with in SouthEast Washington DG when I made this song. I was thinking that maybe one day I would rap my own verses over it. The groove is laid back with a sparse piano and strings in the verses, along with a simple bass line that helps keep everything steady. More strings and horns (trumpets) are brought in during the chorus. The song is steady throughout and serves a a background track for a vocalist, or just background music or lounge music. The rhythmic beat  is solid and smooth and jhas ust enough bounce to make you want to nod your head a little. 

I love playing this track while watching  videos about the universe, space, galaxies, etc.

This is another CMA Beat,

Other Descriptions: preview

I was definitely on some New York stuff when I made this beat. Rough beat with some smooth orchestration to make things mellow. Cool track to vibe to.

I wrote some lyrics to go with it. Just a little something reflecting on how far my friends and I have gone in life. That's why I call the track, Look At Us Now.
