Nearly scrapped this beat when I just had the first loop with the saxophone chops - it had a nice vibe but wasn't enough on it's own. Had to persevere with trying different chops to layer on top, and was eventually able to add weight to the track with some nice chops at 0:20 that added a lot of atmosphere and vibe to the beat. One of my favourite things about producing recently, it's always dope working out the first loops, but adding layers ontop that blend with the chops below can really transform the whole vibe of a beat in such a drastic way.

Peace and thank you for listening!
