Scoreboard Smoke

Jazz hip hop with swung boom-bap drums, laid-back double bass, brushed snare cracks, and dusty Rhodes chords; verse rides sparse drums and upright bass, pre-chorus opens with sax stabs and filtered vinyl noise, chorus lands on a chanty horn riff with gang doubles on the hook. Close-mic rap vocal with a relaxed drawl, ad-lib panning in the gaps, tape-delay throws on key lines. Ear candy: reversed trumpet swell into chorus, short sax answer phrases, sidechain pulse under the Rhodes. Mix is warm, gritty, and intimate with bright horn edges., jazz, hip hop
