Sample excerpt

Windows down on Crenshaw, sun about to quit, my old man's cassette still living in the deck. Same street he taught me how to drive on, same slow lean, same nod, same respect.

Roll it easy, let the whistle carry us home, ain't no hurry when the day already won. Some things you inherit ain't a house or a loan, some things you inherit are the way you ride at sundown.

Workshop noteFirst person, present, cruising. G-funk is built on the lean: never rush a line, always end on an open vowel the synth whistle can trail. At 94 BPM one image per bar is plenty.
