    The beat was tight. How does one get a placement like that? By talking to Ghost's manager/A&R? do you hit him up directly? do you send your demo to his record label? how do i get placements like that?

    I made the video to give Yakub some shine because when the track came out last week, there wasn't a credit to any producer.

    Yo Yakub - I love the ziptape man. I really like the mixing and was wondering if you might be able to help me with something...the whole tape has this really cool compressed sound - I'm trying to figureout how to put that on my mixes - so far no luck - could you share what kind of compressor was used or how I can put a similar kind of compressed quality on my shit? Thanks man
