I generally dislike doing the E-begging thing, but without going into too much detail, I've been put into a situation out of my control where I could possibly get evicted. So not only am I doing emergency commissions, but I got a fire sale on, and I've slashed my prices down. Every little bit will help majorly for me, so if you can spread the word, it'd be appreciated.

You can commission me on Ko-Fi.

Hey y'all. Haven't posted on here in a minute, but I thought I'd give some updates:

So, I'm still in rough straights about a full year removed from losing my day job, and the job market in my area is wack, if I'll be honest. So if you, or someone you know, got games and animations that need some funky rap, house, or R&B music, or need beats/writing for your own musical project I'm still open for commissions. Feel free to DM me here, or hop on my Ko-Fi page. Examples of my work can be found on my NG page.

Speaking of music, I wanna say I got some new stuff in the pipeline I'll be announcing soon. I can't say a whole lot right at this moment, partly due to NDA for some of it, and wanting to keep the rest a surprise, but I can guarantee y'all will love it, and I'm working with Pepperoni-Ravioli and DJ Chidow on something special for it. It's gonna be my biggest project yet.

In (slightly) non-music news, I'm reviving my podcast, JoyRide. To kick off the relaunch, I did an interview with Richard Rodwell, a Canadian composer and musician who produced for several pioneering rap and R&B artists in Canada and was behind the music of many classic TV shows on YTV in the mid-90s and 200os, most notably Uh Oh! If you got an hour to spare, feel free to check it out:

'Til next time, I'll be back with more music for all of y'all on Newgrounds!

I'll cut to the chase: 2021, certain projects aside, was not a good year for me, mainly due to losing my job, and now I'm being financially boxed in. If y'all need some hip hop/R&B/new jack swing beats or songwriting for your own projects, and wanna help a brother out, commission me on Ko-Fi!

Some examples of what I do:

With it being the anniversary of MF DOOM's death here, I had to do something to show the late supervillain some love. So I did a chiptune cover of the track, with my homie Funk Doc giving an eulogy as the bridge.

Remember: ALL CAPS when you say the man name. RIP Daniel "MF DOOM" Dumile.

So, as some of y'all probably already know, the one and only Joel Guerra finally released a new HANDS UP short, once again featuring beats from yours truly and the funkmaster himself, DJ Chidow:

I already released the instrumental version, but if you wanna show some extra love to me, Chidow, and the voice actors, I've released a soundtrack of all the songs I did for Joel's shorts; including remastered tracks, instrumentals, and acapellas, all featuring the cast recordings of the songs! It's only $6, so you can't go wrong.

Until next time, I hope y'all enjoy Joel's short, and the music that went with it!

Hey, y'all,

I'm not dead yet, just juggling my day job with trying to make more music. I'm glad y'all are still enjoying the cuts I've posted here, and I've got more to come soon, including another collaboration with Joel G that hopefully should be out sometime in April, as well as some new original music.

In the meantime, if you're an animator, game dev, musician, or whatever, why not consider commissioning ya boy on Ko-Fi? I do beats, lyrics, jingles, ringtones, all of that. https://ko-fi.com/vadellgabriel/commissions

Hey, all!

Me and the homie Negro Justice linked up for another Bandcamp Friday collab. This time, we remixed his 2017 track "As I Wanna Be", which was already dope on its own, but I think we put it on a new level. We released it for Bandcamp Friday, and if you buy the single, you're eligible to get my upcoming compilation for free!

And for the folks who can't support monetarily, but still wanna show love, the Newgrounds version is below:

Damn, man! I knew Joel G & Mizu-Wolf's "Hands Up" shorts were mad popular, but I didn't think it'd blow up my notifications on all my socials lmao. Thanks to everyone who followed me off the strength of their latest short, and enjoyed the beats and rhymes I created for it! And if you haven't seen it yet, check it out below:

Also! I'm slowly importing some of my music to NG for you guys to check out, but if you wanna support a brother, Peep my Bandcamp, hit me up for commissions, or stream my music on any music platform. Speaking of, The instrumental version of "Lover's Pain" is out now on all platforms! Check it out wherever you get your music!

For now, I'll leave you with a track from the original EP:

So, due to a snafu with some bills and other fees I now need to pay off, I need to earn some extra dough, so my commissions are open once again. Hit me up in a DM, or peep my comission sheet on Ko-Fi.

Hi everyone!

You may have saw me upload two new tracks on NG today. Well, that's because I've just released a new EP on my birthday today! It's called Lover's Pain, and it's on all platforms! The first two tracks are on NG as a teaser, so if you like em, make your way over to the link below, and buy/stream the EP wherever you get your music!
