Brought to you by the good folks over at BrainBandits. This is what they had to say about this video:
“Have you ever wanted to make masterwork productions like Tunji Ige, or Noah Breakfast? Of course you have! Well, the good news is, after today you’ll be one step closer to your lofty goals, as Tunji Ige walks you through the making of On My Grind on this very special Behind The Grind presentation.
Seriously, though. Even for those of you who don’t want to be master beatsmiths, this video may just an eye opening experience; it’s easy to forget just how much goes into each and every dope ass beat.
Behind the Grind could be what it takes to really appreciate that hard work; maybe even enough to go out there and put in that hard work yourself. Whatever the case may be, it’s also another chance to hear that glorious On My Grind production.”
“Adding Tunji Ige was excitingly perfect. He is so talented and absolutely kills this track with his lyrics, melodies, flow and feel…I was blown away by Ghost Loft’s fresh, upbeat yet moody remix of my track.” – Janine told the FADER via email
From Noisey: Tunji Ige’s The Love Project is above all a coming-of-age story, concentrating on Tunji’s life from ages 16 to 19. It’s a meditation on him as a young, black teenager dealing with relationships, rebellion, and the pressure to be cool. “For Us” is the opening song. Tunji says, “‘For Us’ I feel is a critique on the social climate as well as what someone like me has to battle through, being myself, especially with where I’m at. I’m an up-and-coming artist but still a young black kid who could be a victim to the system. ‘For Us’ is the conscience to balance this transition: Do you let it get to your head or do you keep pushing?”
Premiered today on The FADER. “We love this dark, minimalist take on ‘OOO AAA’,” Cathedrals told FADER in an email. “The sinister vibe gives the lyrics even darker meaning. Tunji’s rap adds a raw intimacy and immediacy to the song. We loved getting this track back and experiencing the song through his eyes.”
