Patience of the Saints

Revelation 14:12 I put this together at the very last second. Grace Jones Pull Up To The Bumper sample. This is a very old vocal arrangement. I probably wrote the song in the early 2000’s. I don’t remember. I do remember being inspired by Slave vocal arrangements. Yes, there are more words. No, I didn’t… Continue reading Patience of the Saints

Yah First (Final)

This is the produced Yah First aka Jah First c/o Chiko. I will release it as Yah First (Part I). Interestingly, Chiko isn’t a fan of the outro you heard on the demos. He didn’t think to use it and so this is a short record. I’m not complaining, my specialty is the short song.… Continue reading Yah First (Final)

Yah First Demo (C)

This is the demo (stems) Alex Dx and Chiko will use for the next release called God First. He might actually mix some of my voice. What you hear here is unprocessed, so Chiko may work magic. I don’t know what music stems he is going to use. I actually like the outro better than… Continue reading Yah First Demo (C)

My Testimony

Lyrics: Guess who’s still alive? Ninety years old and counting. I’m hoping to survive. It’s been a miserable life (it hasn’t been all bad). No matter what they say. But that don’t matter anyway. I’ll keep trying. Until I die. Save me if you please. Just allow me to give my testimony. I hope it’s… Continue reading My Testimony

Sympathy Explained

I shouldn’t pat myself on the back or toot my own horn. In this case I must applaud loudly the contributions of both Alex Dx and Chiko. Chiko the producer is twenty-two years old and blew my mind with his usage of the stems provided from my demo. I’m almost flabbergasted and stoked at the… Continue reading Sympathy Explained

A Funky Beat

To finish out the summer session here is a funky beat. Originally inspired by Bow Wow Wow‘s, Work. At the last minute I decided to use a James Brown drum track. The former has nothing to do with 60’s black dance music. See how God works? This short beat will be sent to Chellas Studios… Continue reading A Funky Beat

25th Anniversary

I am finally getting around to announcing the 25th year anniversary of my independent record label, DB!SPA Records, founded in Seattle, Washington in 1999.  It was created to promote non-secular dance music. We started out promoting black producers who weren’t creating what I referred to way back then as “devil music.”  C. Delores Tucker, 1999.… Continue reading 25th Anniversary
