Beatnick Dee “Gone†ft. Saheed, Madkem & Jered Sanders [mp3]
I put together this posse cut with three young talented artists a few years ago. I made the beat in 2011 with a soulful Spanish sample, added some keys, harp, and synth bass. I had worked with my dude Madkem on his album, and we’d met up in New York around that time. He had the idea of putting Jered on it for a hook, then I reached out to Saheed for the final verse. The song has an uplifting, triumphant vibe to it, based around being sure of yourself and making the most of opportunities, wherever they may take you.
