Nebulas
















Various melodic instruments encompass this multiple drum track landscape Mysterio created from his inner mind. Samples from the movie "Sunshine" and "Star Trek 5" enhance the musical experience leaning towards the metaphysical. This is one of Mysterio's favorite tracks he created due to the fact he loves to contemplate things that are otherworldly.

GZA & Sadat X - Beneath The Surface (Sinkhole Mix)













Rhodes keys, moog bass, and wah wah guitar fill out the soundscape for the GZA and Sadat X to drop some insightful lyrics. Kick and snare cuts by Mysterio enhance the rhythmic track while sound effects compliment the verses dropped by the two dynamic emcees. Rounding it out is Jules from Pulp Fiction who states what purpose he has found in his own life.

Death Blows



















Circa 1993. A mixture of a heavily filtered reggae bass along with two different guitars and weird bell sound with horns drive along the crusty drum track. A perfect battle/freestyle beat for the given era.

Payback is Out of SIght Video















Payback is Out of Sight















The films "Payback" and "Out of Sight" are paid homage to by Mysterio in this thematic masterwork. It almost has a dub reggae feel to it with the deep bass line but added upon the track is a Dobro guitar which is a nod to the Lompoc prison scene with George Clooney and Luis Guzman. Blues organs accentuate the rhythm provided as it lays way for the several samples of choice dialogue from both films.

L.E.S.











This beat comes up from the 1993-94 era. A sample from the group Hard Knocks kicks off this jazzy mix meshed together by Mysterio. Jazz tinged drums over a walking bassline are encountered by pianos, horns and trumpets. I definitely wished that this would of came to fruition as a song but it is still dope as an old instrumental.
