Martin came up in ‘04 as a producer for West Coast artists, he has produced for artists like; Nipsey Hussle, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Murs, Warren G, Talib Kweli, Glasses Malone, Kendrick Lamar, and produced with people like DJ Quik, Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, Battlecat, & Hi-Tek.
In ‘07 his first mixtape dropped, called Signal Flow, he continued making mixtapes and dropped 3 more over the years, with all of them having legendary West Coast artists on them like Kurupt, DJ Quik, & Snoop Dogg.
In an interview he stated: “I started producing hip-hop tracks because it was the music of my time, but I never lost my love for jazz.”
And this is what I wanted to talk about, I want to bet most of y'all heard Kanye West’s 808s & Heart Breaks. Well Terrace Martin released an 5-track EP with saxophone covers of tracks off 808’s & Heart Breaks called 808s & Sax Breaks.
I was able to find 3 out of the 5 tracks on Youtube, and I really really liked them, knowing the original songs adds a lot more flavour to the covers because you recognise stuff, the 3 tracks I found were “Heartless”, “Say You Will”, & “Amazing”, the other two tracks on it are “Love Lockdown”, & “Street Lights” but I just couldn’t find them.
So I told y'all what I think of this, but what do you people think?
Heartless // Say You Will // Amazing
