COOL HIP HOP FOR PRODUCTIONS OF ALL KINDS
Alternately fun, sexy, and dramatic, this royalty free collection offers an eclectic array of hip hop-inspired cuts. All ten tracks were composed by Mike Brassell, whose film and TV work includes the Warner animated feature CATS DON'T DANCE and numerous projects for Disney.
CRESCENT TOWN: Tense techno is juxtaposed with a haunting harp riff for a suspenseful collision of hip hop heaven and hell. An effectively anxious addition to crime dramas, mystery-thrillers, urban gang themes, video games, reality shows, documentaries, and more. An alternate mix provides additional royalty free utility.
DOUBLE DEUCE: An edgy synth track, cut by hip hop grooves and scratched sample effects, builds toward a pulse-pounding climax. Nervous, nail-biting stock music for a host of dramatic themes, including TV crime investigations, action movie trailers, TV cop shows, sports highlights, video games, and an array of download apps.
REPRESENT: Use this chill blend of acoustic guitar, smooth jazz and hip hop beats for a variety of multimedia applications. Utility includes film/video production, weather channel graphics, reality show soundtracks, TV travel programs, retail shop ambience, podcasts and radio ads. Also included is a slightly edgier alternate edit.
ONE LOVE: A sexy, danceable combo of hip hop, Soul Train style R&B, and sultry female voice samples. Seductive, royalty free grooves for a wide range of cross-platform projects, including film/video productions, radio bumpers, website design, and multimedia ad campaigns. An edgier, more dramatic version is also included, providing expanded production opportunities.
KNUCKLE UP: Tension brews in this percolating pot of hip hop, cop show themes, and traditional Asian samples. Evocative and dramatic, this is an excellent stock music choice for primetime crime series, martial arts themes, Asian documentaries, independent films, and major motion picture soundtracks. An equally edgy alternate version also is included.
ROAD DOG: Hand claps, hip hop grooves, a Spanish guitar and oddball vocal samples combine for an out of the box arrangement with a dramatic edge. A unique royalty free option for urban-oriented independent films, TV title sequences, multi-media fashion ad campaigns, pro basketball celebrity spots, sports radio bumpers, download music apps, and more. As with all the tracks on this CD, short broadcast edits are also included.
BEST KEPT SECRETS: Strong, smooth and slow-paced funk, featuring a heavy bass counterbalanced with light guitars, upbeat vocal samples and a melodic piano. Sexy soul with a hip hop twist, this danceable track will bring energy to a multitude of royalty free production apps. An alternate version emphasizes the bass and groovy vocals, evoking classic blaxploitation movie themes of the 1970s.
BONEYARD: Composer Mike Brassell knocks it out of the park with this classic R & B track. Boasting a relaxed hip hop vibe and gorgeous, Quincy Jones-style melodies, this is an outstanding stock music alternative for independent films, major motion picture soundtracks, web series themes, infomercials, fashion campaigns, and more. Why pay expensive composer fees when world-class music like this is available royalty free?
FLASHIN BANK: A quirky electronic theme builds quickly into an offbeat orchestration of music sample montages, vocal stabs, and heavy hip hop percussion. Energetic and addictive, this royalty free track is adaptable for a number of multimedia apps. Movie soundtracks, live sports venues, TV shows, interactive video games, and cellular media are just a few of the possibilities for this versatile and contemporary theme.
LOOSE CHANGE: Oddball vocal edits and otherworldly synth grooves are cut and pasted with hip hop rhythms for a fun, spaced-out track. Listen to it once, and you'll instantly want to hear it again! This eccentric track is effective for both dramatic and whimsical applications. It's freaky, fun funk for sci-fi themes, urban movie soundtracks, toy commercials, video games, fashion ads, animation, and more.
