Back in New York inspired to write a verse



FREESTYLE BY UNDAKOVA
BACK IN NEW YORK CITY June 2016

I am back in New York just came from Trader Joes
But I can trade you flows on how my city goes
Its kinda pitiful
but just to be hospitable a dose of caffeine makes it livable
up at 3, work at 6, did a 8 hour bid
after my 8 hour shift I am on train with kids
"sheā€™s only 15 months" said the young mom
while the little girl blew a kiss, I was so charmed
the city has a way of making you love her for sure
Authentic chinese food, organic grocery stores
shittake mushroom burgers, bodegas galore
no matter how much I see thereā€™s still always more
and MORE to see,
Just the other night, Ran into ā€œProdigy"
So I played Mobb Deep Shook Ones 2 for my lady
to demonstrate how much the ā€œinfamous album" made me
Into a better man.
Cause once I realized I wasnā€™t a crook, Came up with a better plan
but you donā€™t hear me though
I am vibing with employees, the jobless, the artist and the CEOS
Thatā€™s how my city rolls
I am on my bike in my pajamas and still shining bright like them videos
mopped the floors in my home, cleaned the kitchen fridge
now I am busting a freestyle rhyme about the things I did
Probably hit the beach this weekend or something
Do a workshop, or be teaching or something
the heat got my city streets peaking and buzzing
Clouds will rain down and start speaking and thundering
its all sacred
thats why I donā€™t take it for granted cause life is what you make it
I do my best to make the best of it
I am New York UNDAKOVA, L.E.S. wit it.

Written to this Beat.

7 Reasons why becoming a member of Beat365 rocks.

As you already might know I go by the alias Undakova (Undercover) and I am beat maker, DJ and MC here in NYC. I have been producing hip hop beats since the 90s and have produced my own hip hop instrumentals for my album created here in New York City. I often get asked by R & B artist and MCs "Can you produce some beats for my album?" One day the question popped up in my head "Where does an artist find great sounding Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them?" If an artist doesn't have a friend or business partner who is a producer or know how to/ want to produce beats on there own spare time (which can take a lot of time and money) where does he/she find a complete collection of hip hop beats? Well the answer is simple. . . . To find Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them go to Beats365...
