This is an instrumental beat that I made for Height, a very cool and weird and raw and dope rapper from Baltimore. His new album features him rapping over all his friends’ beats, and it is available here.
The Wham City logo (made out of all those animal shapes) is so cool. I guess it is named after that Dan Deacon song, or it is his label? Dan Deacon does have incredible song titles (my own face is F word, the house i was isn’t my girlfriend’s porsche).
Anyway, but also, here is Height’s website with all sorts of free music and videos and links.
Also, Height does a really excellent radio-show podcast (he’s got the smoothest voice on the internet!).
So anyway, how and when did this all start? Well, Simon told me about this rapper from Baltimore and I give it a listen and I liked it, and so I found Height on myspace and I wrote him a message. We start chatting a bit and when he came to L.A., we played a show together at the Smell. It was a good show. And I see my friend Dean there, and I’m like “hey what’s up man!”, but it turns out Dean was there to see Height, not me, because Dean’s brother is, or used to be, Height’s roommate at one point. Just one of those small-world coincidence things.
So a few months later, Height asked me to make him some beats for his upcoming album, which I promptly did. I did this song using the computer program Digital Performer and my sampler. I won’t say what samples I used, but to me it is pretty obvious.
Here is another song that I did for Height, but he didn’t use, which is cool because I think it stands alone good enough on its own as an instrumental track for you to listen to late at night or when the sun is setting, or first thing in the morning.

Height is gonna be coming to LA again pretty soon and I will hopefully play a show with him. You’ll know when I know.
