FAM FLY - GREAT LAKES SOUNDTRACKS



ORIGINAL LP LINER NOTES:

At the end of the summer of 2008, for like two weeks, some of the Somawax Records heavy weights devised a scheme...to make the epic crew album they'd talked about for years. The gully rappers, Johnny No Name aka Johnny Arcade, Sesh MC aka Adam Falkner, and Gordy Bombay aka Binkleton Sir Figglesweathers went to work with Hall of Fame producer Eddie Arkadian to produce what they were sure would be their masterpiece, and what Gordy knew would be his last attempt at making a classic rap album.

They failed. The creative forces were too strong, the drugs were too prevalent, and the life of gully thuggertons got in the way. Eddie and Gordy nearly killed each other with guns. Johnny almost overdosed on 40 Ounces and women. Sesh disappeared completely. Gordy fell into a weed coma and nearly killed babies.

For the most part - these recordings have never been released officially. A few tracks made it onto the last Gordy Bombay compilation, The Gully Superb, his farewell to rap entirely. Beyond that, these tracks are only now making it to the light of day. A special thanks to Eddie Arkadian for releasing them from his personal vaults.

Peep:

SPECIAL EDITION LINER NOTES:
**Before the name FAM FLY was agreed upon, the gully quartet also kicked around the name REFS or Red Eye Flight School, a name Gordy and Sesh had been playing with since high school. Below is an alternate album cover and title that was rejected by the label:



Long live the gully.

Mooches and sketchballs need not apply.

Jack Move

So I had the iTunes on shuffle this shit came on and I started dying. The only yagobeat that has been used (to my knowledge). I only gave out maybe like 10 tracks, never heard back from anyone except this guy. He goes by Binks, met him thru my neighbor Jeremy waaaaaay back in the day when I lived at Stadium Apts, so it musta been like 5-7 years ago or so when we made this track. Haven't heard from him in like 2 years so not sure what he's doin nowadays but I digress. I present to you "Bink$ feat RaH Grizzly - Jack Move". RaH Grizzly comes on first then Binks closes. Brace yourself it comes in very abruptly and... well you'll see.

ONDE

Be warned this one is a little out there, but I think I like it. I am working on a different method of chopping samples than I usually do. So I just chopped some crazy 70's moog shit to bits and reworked it (mighta gone a little over board) then just laid down a break.

Shits and giggles

Got a lot of new tunes in the works. Here is some not as new shit (but still relatively new) that has been put on the back burner (mostly because they are pretty close to complete) until I make a little more progress on the new new stuff.

Leon Haywood Rock Out

Sampled "I Wanna Do Somethin Freaky To You"... yeah I know it may have been a tad played out due to the ever so popular "Ain't Nuttin but a G Thang" ditty, I didn't sample that exact part tho I sampled the guitar riff that basically comes in right after that. Just peep, it's tight.

Beat Worth Saving

Wanna do a lot more work to this now that I'm listening to it again as I post. Other than that not to much to say about this one (cept it's gully). Some Willie Hutch and Funk, Inc up in here.

You may also start to notice a trend of horribly wack names for my beats, this is because when I'm balls deep in making one I realize "oh shit I better save this before I make an irreversible mistake, or the power goes out or something". At this stage in the process I wanna keep working so I just slap a name on that will remind me what I was doing, and I don't really care that much so I never bother changing the name later.

Sneak peak of some of the new ish...
Timing is a bit off, been fucking with it here and there for weeks this is as close as it gets w/o re-chopping the samples (which will be done soon cause I'm listening to the track now and found some more strings I wanna add). Sampled from a Michel Magne track (he is a French composer mostly classical).
