RECORDING LOG:

Artist: Vic Mensa
Producer: Papi Beats

RECAP:

Straight from the VMAs Vic Mensa came in to create some new music with Papi Beats. Running a little behind as things tend to go with musicians I got to sit and mess around with some synth ideas while Alex (Papi Beats) played guitar. Running through a number of quick jam ideas Vic Mensa came through and started messing around with vocal ideas. Had a solid jam session for a few hours before the guys had to take off to some VMA parties.
