Aiden Pasia

8-Song EP produced and mixed completely by me and my close collaborators DameRunitup and Chris Smith. I wrote all 8 songs, ranging from boom-bap to trap with melodic hooks and infectious flows. Chris Smith, Skilla Baby’s engineer, mixed the album professionally, giving my creative production and vocal experimentation a polished sound to share with my fanbase. I sampled soul records, contemporary music, and 60’s psychedelic rock records to create the production for this project, mixing each beat to perfection and infusing playful, smooth, yet entendre-packed lyricism into each track. Cream represents my identity (half white, half yellow), and this EP was my method of expressing that playful, witty identity through these songs. My first real body of work, and far from perfect, but soon to be followed by an even more polished trap EP in the fall.

Detroit Hip-Hop track with a smooth flow and hilarious punchlines. 2-Part Hook, melodic prechorus, hard-hitting verses, and I wrote every lyric. The beat samples Ice Cube’s classic “It Was a Good Day” with Detroit/Flint drums and a mix from Detroit’s own Chris Smith, engineer for two of Detroit’s biggest artists, Skilla Baby and Sada Baby. It was the first song I ever recorded and released, inspired by and symbolic of my trip from my hometown in Michigan to Los Angeles. Master ended up sounding perfect, recorded a music video on a golf course with iPhones, and ended up garnering 40k views on Instagram with 400+ new followers as well, marking a successful debut single to kick off my rap career. The song garnered over 10k streams on Spotify alone and is my third most successful release with merely $50 spent on promotion.
