Nola Bounce Drum Kit Inspired by Drake’s “In My Feelings” & “Nice For What”


After hearing Drake's “In My Feelings” & “Nice For What” records, I decided to put together a drum kit with the New Orleans bounce sound in mind. I used classic bounce loops and one shots mixed in with a few custom sounds of my own. The kit is available at https://bsta.rs/skt/5127 for $11.99 and is available for immediate download. Also, check out the video below of BlaqNmilD, a well-established New Orleans producer, who details his process in creating the records. I used some of the same methods to create this authentic drum kit.

Countess Vaughn "Do You Love Him?" Video Review

Well. From what I have been seeing on social media, Lisa Wu has been receiving the brunt of the criticism for Countess Vaughn's new video for the song "Do You Love Him?" I wouldn't solely pin it on Lisa....I would include everyone who touched this project. Sounds as if Countess wrote the song. If so, she should have hired a writer. The track sounds like a B-list movie soundtrack. That also puts the producer on the hook, slightly. The sound quality comes up short. I once used vocals recorded on an iphone to make a mixtape and although that's not the ideal way of recording vocals, I was able to produce a final product a few steps above what you hear in this video and I don't know much about mixing vocals. So I am putting the engineer on the hook. If she recorded it in her house, I'm putting her house on the hook. One thing I didn't have a problem with was the video quality. It was up to par although I didn't understand the video plot. Maybe I am just slow but I had no idea what was what or who was who. I also believe Countess should have be singing the song during the performance shot instead of whatever that was she was doing. Who did they run the final product by? Who said this ish is hot...let it ride? I wonder what Todd Tucker thinks of the video since it represents his brand by default. Hell, Countess could have have bought a song from Kandi. As always, this is only my opinion. Judge it for yourself or not. This is entertainment and I'm just having fun.
