I am “Almost There”, no pun intended, represents the classic sound of underground hip hop and more specifically, captures that east coast vibe.
The production hails from a producer named Amid, currently in the Baltimore area, who goes under the production name Abstract Process. With a long history of hip-hop and a vision to create sustainable music, “Almost There” is birthed.
The track immediately invokes the classic head-nod, neck-snapping, groove along motion, that only true hip-hop heads can explain. This particular track is extremely versatile, from a freestyle cipher, to a score of a movie backdrop, to a feature single that drives the most gifted emcees.
The chorus section drops with a vibrant sample and wa-wa tone that SIMPLY backs of the fact that this track is truly original in nature and is a definite hit. If I said nothing else, the track is just a smooth track that makes you wonder else abstract has cooking in the lab.
Production Quality is crisp in every direction with a slight grunge feel which again should gain much respect on the underground and main stream hip-hop genre’s.
If I had to knit-pick, I would say, change-up in the drum pattern could make this track even more exciting, even if it was every 16 OR 32 BARS. I also like introductions or a rise of anticipation at the front end of a track.
Last but not least, I am eager to hear some vocals over this track because it sounds like a “Q-tip” type emcee would have a field day with this. Great Job on this Track!
