No Swag Necessary: The Remix (Talent Search!)


I’m So Excited for what’s in store right now. It seems my friends on Facebook would like me to give them the opportunity to record on a remix of “No Swag Necessary”, a song I had originally intended just for me and my friend, Amanda Yohnke. But I think it would be awesome if we could pull it off, so in regards to the high demand from lot of people who are interested in recording a verse on the record, I feel I have to better explain what this record is all about.

In this day of age in music I feel that there is a lot of records that can be said of the term, “money over b**ches” and I feel that it is not recognized that some of these men don’t realize that without a real woman to help them, They wouldn’t be successful or in a mode of happiness, (in other words, think, “Down 4 U” by Ja Rule Without the dirty talk…)and I feel that is left out in music for the time being. That’s what “No Swag” is all about. I do not hate on certain rappers who consider having a lot of swag, but in truth you can’t say you have swag, and say you don’t need to tie down with a woman in the first place and yet need to show some respect toward women. Therefore, I have decided to do this record for the sole purpose of making a record both gender can be proud of listening and playing.

Now that everyone is up to speed of what the record is about, here is what I am aiming for in the remix (The Guidelines):

  1. 1. I will send anyone who is interested in recording their verse a loop of the verse part for the song, at least for a 16 bar length. It is up to you to request for me to send it in three formats, WAV, mp3, or in a tracked format (I am using FL Studio for this record Production.)
  2. 2. If there is more than one person who is contributing vocals on a verse, (i.e. a rap collective or a rap group.) you will have to double the loop and let me know so that I will be able to put in the chorus.
  3. 3. The CHORUS will be already be recorded by me and Miss Youhke, so you will not need to record it. All you will need to do is record your verses so that I may connect them for the remix, but feel free to tye in the chorus lyrics in your verses. ( I believe the BPM is 75)
  4. 4. Depending on how many people is down to contribute to this remix, I will either make multiple versions of the remix, or a MEGA remix, meaning one whole track.
  5. 5. And finally, Once you have record it, please send it to me so that I can link the track together and master it, the sooner I do that, the sooner I can send everyone a finished Finalized copy of the track or Tracks.
  6. 6. Also Women and or men artists are more than welcome to record a verse, whether you sing or rap, but it must be within the same subject of the song. Remember, we are writing a song dedicated to anyone’s “Significant other” in that as long as we got a good man or woman by our side, “NO SWAG IS NECESSARY”!
  7. Remember to send me your email so that I can send you not only the loop of the song, but also so I can send you the finished track to use as you see fit, whether for your album/mixtape or promo. Just know that it WILL BE ON MY ALBUM!!! So the track is originally mine.

Send me a message on my pages with your email if you are interested. (Mines is Yokumasaki84@yahoo.com) And I hope to hear from you..
