THE HISTORY OF GREENGUY

"Bison" is a song produced by "Odd Couple" Productions. Sal Graci & Va'Les were good friends but when they collabed on making beats together they called themselves "Odd Couple" because they would argue (in a creative fun argue way) over how to make the beat all night long. The beat was made at Sal's mom's house in 2003. Omega Redd layed the first verse & the 3rd verse. Kwin, Sal & Va'Les made addlibs on the introductory part of the beginning of the song. Kwin MD and Va'Les were line for line on verse 2 but some where in there Omega Redd snuck in a few lines too...So credit Common Ground on verse 2. The song was recorded in Germantown on Walnut Lane with Kwin's Roland 880 EX and later mixed at APG Studios. The gun shot sound effect was sampled from Wu Tang's 2nd Album, "Wu Tang Forever", the reverse effect was added to make the shot sound as if the bullot came out but then got sucked back into the gun o

"Shorty Let me Be Remix" will be the Making of 21st edition song. The original song by Dream aka Kameil Madison who's website is found on the S.O.A.z page at www.mckomandoni.com was track # 1 on the "Best of Urban Underground 2002" put out by Garageband Records. The Collector's item series 1st Edition here in THA HOOD/Garageband BBS on Remote explains the original more... The remix was done in 2003 by Kwin MD & Omega Redd. Omega Redd assisted in the Mix Down process and he was the MC on verse 3. Kwin MD did addlibs to add to the hook and other parts of the Remix. Together Kwin MD & Omega Redd looped a small part of the original beat from the introductory begining part of the song. That was added to the intro part of Kameil's 3rd verse from the original. The remix was recorded at APG Studios on the Roland 880 EX. The Remix is figured to be track #19 on the upcoming highly anticipated debute album by Common Ground called "Golden Land&qu

"Boilahmaker Sippah" is the song (that the album was titled after) that we will give the making of for the 20th Edition of the series. First the instramental: Kwin MD made the instramental out of samples he put together & looped... The Lyrics: Most pf these lyrics were originally used on the unreleased album "Double Up Double Down" and since this was around the time that it was determined that that album was not getting released, Kwin MD used much of the lyrics from various songs on that album and meshed them together for this song. The Samples: A great Book: Heart Of Darkness that Kwin Read in Atlanta, Ga while living there in 1998, was turned into a movie and Remixed the setting with similar plot & Charaters called "Apocolyps Now"... Kwin Sampled the movie when Kurts says "They were gonna make me a major for this, and I wasn't in their fuckin' army any more..." in the begining of the song. The sample was slowed down a bit or

As written in THA HOOD/BBS Forums On REMOTE: "I am" & the original "Judgement Night" have common verses by Kwin MD (written in 1998 in Petersburg) The Atlanta, Ga & Petersburg, Va lyrics written by Kwin MD from 1998-1999 were the reason for his alias: The Dungeon Rapper...Locked up & Court ordered while writing those lyrics in Petersburg with Godfather Geek & in Atlanta with Little Dee.... In May of 1999, Kwin MD was Free & living in Philadelphia. By 2000, Kwin had moved back to Richmond, Va. The Summer of 1999 was when Kwin MD and Champain aka New Jack met & went to studios in Germantown (a part of Phila.pa) and West Philly. Kwin MD also recorded music that summer with Godfather Geek and L.E.P..... In 2002 Champain moved back to his hometown of Jacksonville, Floridia.... To give more about Atlanta, Kwin lived there from August of 1998 until May of 1999... Little Dee was from Tennessee and that was someone Kwin Rapped with in Atlanta who got

Much like the 17th edition of the Making of Series "I Converse", "Assassin's Rain" was made at the end of the Prequal Era, and then remade in the Post-Prequal era. Click These Letters to learn about the prequal era..... When "Assassin's Rain" was originally made, it was the 2nd to last song made before the Prequal Era was ended...It was not released on "Step into my Office..." but it was the 2nd song Kwin Recorded after that album was released. So when the Prequal Era was over, it was remade. Shallow recorded, mixed, and produced this song and the original. The rain and the fade in (in the begining was his idea). He made the beat on the MPC 3000. Kwin wrote the first verse of this in Petersburg, Virginia in 1998 with GodFather Geek from East Hastings-Lake Edwards Virginia Beach, the Lost Elements. Geek also wrote the chorus/hook lyrics and told Kwin to record this song. Geek and Kwin did go to a studio called 3rd eye studio in Virginia B

"Fast Pace World" was mentioned in the Making Of Series before. "After I'm Gone" & "Fast Pace World had somthing in Common... In the 3rd edition of "THE MAKING OF SEFIES" WE WROTE: He did that in a song he first recorded using this beat called "The Mighty Kwin"...The first beat was the beat later used again on "Fast Pace World"...but the "Mighty Kwin" song (although well recieved and liked by Sal Graci & Va'Les) was not going to be released because Kwin thought it lacked the energy & the production & his own Flow Delivery on that song were not good enough...So when Kwin Decided to scrap the "Mighy Kwin" song, those 2 beats were in the line up of songs that could recorded... HERE IS THE 16TH EDITION OF THE MAKING OF SERIES: "FAST PACE WORLD" WAS RECORDED AT APG STUDIOS. THIS SONG WAS RECORDED, MIXED, AND MASTERED BY KWIN MD THE BEAT WAS CREATED BY SAL GRACI IN 2003 THE ST

Written in Emporia, Va at Metaphysiks house. Them two (Metaphysiks & Kwin) listen to this Shallow Beat on Repeat and came up with the Hook & Concept almost right away. The beat screams out a mood, both of these two MCs got the mood of Nastalga...So that's what they wrote their verses about. Kwin didn't have very good flow game on his verses....Especially when he paused to say "No Doubt", that wasn't how he wrote it. He kept it like that at the time because Shallow recorded it, and Shallow when he records at his studio he's always in a hurry, like he has somewhere he's got to be...But that's Not the only reason why Kwin's verse was layed sloppy, Kwin was under the influence as well...Metaphysiks is like Omega Redd...Both of them usually only need one take and the music sounds good enough for addlibs after the 1st take....

Chamberlayne Ave is in Richmond, Va. It's one of the only roads in Richmond that intersects with I-95. It connects the I-95 entrance to South Side Richmond and in South Side the Road's name changes to Jay Dee or Jefferson Davis Highway. In the North Side, Chamberlayne Ave also intersects with Broad Street. This is kind of like what people call "The Strip". This song is a story telling song. The first verse is based on a true story from when Kwin and a good friend were out in this area one night. The second verse is also based on a true story and was put in the song to show how crazy life can be some times.... Shallow made the beat. Shallow looped the Hook & did the FX, and mixed the song, and it was at his studio where this was recorded. When listening to the album, after "Ridin', Smokin', & Drinkin" you should adjust your Bass Level higher and lower your trebel for this song because it is mixed extremely differant then that song. The

this song was mixed down differantly then every other song on the "Boilahmaker Sippah" album. Shallow used to always say how the Wu Tang "Enter the 36 Chambers" album was so brilliant because of how it was mixed down. Kwin Had that in mind when he mastered the "Boilahmaker Sippah" album. From Track # 11 to track # 14 the equalizer will need some adjustments on each song you hear...The song "Ridin', Smokin', and Drinkin" is track # 12.... This one has so much Bass and very Low Treble. So adjustments to your equalizer has to be made. Then the next song has good Bass and average Treble...So you'll be tweakin from # 11 on out.... That's how the "Enter the 36 Chambers" was. You had to tweak the equalizer through out. This gives the listener an interactive way to listen to the album. Kwin Made the beat for this song, and he recorded & mixed it down at APG Studios.

This song was very custom made. Kwin had Shallow custom make this beat. The singer was part of Shallow's Rock Group circle. The lead guitar player in Shallow's Rock Group called Optic had a wife who could sing. She started to sing at Shows with Optic around Richmond, Va. Shallow called her up, she sang for Kwin on this one. This song is the reason why Kwin MD got so pissed off at Espanosa, Kwin got Jes to sing a hook on his song "Oh Kwin MD" a hook she sang wth Kwin's name in it...a few weeks later, Espanosa had Jes sing a hook with his name on it....Biter..... This song is a parady of cliche Hip Hop...

This song was made at APG Studios with the Roland 880 EX and mixed by Kwin MD. Shallow made the beat, the original song this beat was made for and recorded with this beat was "Tha Nutcrackka 2" but Kwin wanted to release this song instead of that one. The final verse of this song was a freestyle. The first verse was meant to be recorded for a Common Ground concept but that song never got recorded so, Kwin decided to use it here on this song....

This was the title track for Kwin MD's 2nd album. Of course as posted in late 2007 to this blog, Mad Flavor Ent lost the distribution deal and that album never came out. This song was put on one of the "Never Done" volumes but those albums became collectors items when the old MP3.com site went out of business. (that is also info you can read about in earlier posts from late 2007 in tha hood/BBS on remote).... This song was the last song created in THE PREQUAL ERA....(for more on the Prequal era see earlier posts about the prequal & Step Into My Office...) In the posts written about the PREQUAL ERA and the POST PREQUAL ERA, you can learn about the language Kwin MD used to use, and the language he doesn't use anymore.... Some of the songs Kwin MD re-recorded to change lyrics were: "Assassin's Rain" & "I Converse".... "Tha Nutcrackka" only has one word in it that was not in the language he uses now. So after the Prequal Era was r

This song was made a number of times before the version that was released on the "Boilahmaker Sippah" album. At APG Studios, Kwin recorded this song and let Sal Graci hear it, along with Omega Redd & Va'Les....The Hook wasn't done right though. Sal Graci made all the differant phases of the beat, with Kwin MD's Roland 880 EX; Kwin formatted the Sal Graci music at Sal's studio Interself Productions in North Philly. Kwin formatted it into the way it is on the song, Sal made the music. After hearing the right critism by Sal, Redd, & Va'Les; Kwin brought it to MAU studios and recorded it again there. Then brought that version back to APG Studios and added a few extra addlibs there too.

Not official, but a game plan has been made and approved by Kwin MD and Omega Redd for the first album release under the Common Ground group name. As mentioned in other earlier posts in 2007, Common Ground is the 3 founding members of the S.O.A.z....Va'Les, Omega Redd, and McKoman Doni.....aka Kwin MD.... Since 2005, Va'Les was the main one making "final say" decisions for the S.O.A.z, but he got incarcerated in the Summer of 2007. Since then, Omega Redd has been making "final say" decisions for the S.O.A.z.... Of course the way things have been working, when any promotions or other things like what song is the next flavor of the month, Kwin MD makes the suggestions, it's up to Omega Redd to approve or veto...As Va'Les used to approve or deny things and sometimes he would say we should ask Redd about that too.... That said, tonight the latest vetos & approvals have been made on the latest suggestion for the S.O.A.z 2008 movement..... Common Grou

Bodacious was a young girl that fit into the Michael Jackson Definition of P.Y.T. She told Kwin She wanted to Rap in the studio with him. Kwin and her wrote this together at her apartment. Shallow charged 4 or 5 times the normal amount for this beat. They took much longer to record this because it was Bo's first time in a studio and she needed to get confertable. Garageband Records selected this song to appear on their Various Artist Release: "Best of Urban Underground 2002". Bo was living with a husband when Kwin last seen her on the west end of Richmond. She is doing well.

This beat was made at 72nd and Lindenberg by a Producer who also produces a Philadelphia Local Legend: Montana Black Kwin MD had already sold the Roland 880 EX when this was recorded, but with the rights to this beat, Omega Redd came to APG Studios and the 2 of them recorded this. Kwin mixed it and recorded it. Looking Back Kwin could have done a better job mixing this one down.

The same MC from a song called "Judgement Night REMIX" who was on the 3rd and final verse is the man who provided the beat for "Waite in Line" he was also Shallow's partner when Shallow decided to try and make his own label with this man known as Mike Pacino....Pacino asked Kwin to flow on this beat to see what kind of flow Kwin would bring to it. This was like a test of Kwin's skill by Mike Pacino and Kwin accepted the challenge. Mike Pacino was also Espanosa's partner in a Rap group called Degree's of Realness. They both, along with Shallow still make music for this group called Degrees of Realness and all 3 of them live in Richmond, Va and are all 3 from Richmond.... Kwin had been single at the time and some what a "Bar Fly", you know, One Night Standing Chicks, but looking for love... In 2001, this song was a reflection of everything Kwin was feeling at the time...

I know i missed a day again. The 5th making of song in this series is THROW DOWN a song made less then one month after the making of 4th edition. When champain came to Richmond, he heard this beat. Kwin had not purchased the rights from Shallow till that month after the "Decompose" song was recorded at Shallow's Studio. Unlike Decompose, Shallow was selling the beat for THROW DOWN for that kind of money. With out giving away it all way, Kwin MD purchased the rights to this Shallow beat for 4 times the amount he purchased the right for decompose's beat by Shallow aka NVISIBLE BEATS. on the boilahmaker sippah album by KWIN MD aka McKoman Doni the macadocious pimp sippin Koman Don Con-E-YAK WIT E-N-J Erk & JErk..... Aka: The "Boilahmaker Sippah" album (Click the title for info) The original Decompose had added a skit from the S.O.A.z album to connect "Decompose" and "Throw Down" Throw Down Making of the song was the funnest of all

"DECOMPOSE" Written in the year 2001.........By D. Jacobs AKA CHAMPAIN AKA NEW JACK AND R. QUINN AKA MCKOMAN DONI AKA KWIN MD The Making of this song was a nice backround story itself. Kwin had been living in Virninia for about a year since moving from Philly in 2000....His 3rd move to VA... A FULL YEAR FROM THAT MOVE FROM PHILLY TO VIRGINIA CHAMPAIN AND KWIN WERE VERY CLOSE STILL. Kwin used to drive up to Philly like 3 weekends a month to visit. His Girlfriend still lived there, his peoples, and CHAMPAIN WAS LIVING THERE AT THAT TIME. When Kwin 1st Collaborated with Shallow in the year 2000, he went to Philly to play the music FOR CHAMPAIN, and CHAMPAIN loved it, he heard "WE CAN'T WHAT", "MONEY", "I SEEN ENOUGH", and "MICROPHONE SOLO". "Microphone Solo" wasn't new to Pain because Kwin Had Recorded some of those lyrics in 1999 with Splash City (GERMANTOWN) while Pain was in the studio and after words too....The Shall

The # Two song on the Track Order of the "Boilahmaker Sippah" album. Sal Graci made the beat and used it in the agreement he made with Kwin as Payment to Studio Time with Kwin & Mix Down Hours at APG Forx Studios... Kwin had an orignial idea for this beat. This Interself Production Sal Graci made beat was only about 1 or 2 minutes long, so, rather then loop it to make it fit a typical song format, Kwin thought of Two Ways he could use it.... He first thought he could use it like the 2nd part of "Walkin Thru the Jungle", as a beat change for the 3rd Verse... He did that in a song he first recorded using this beat called "The Mighty Kwin"...The first beat was the beat later used again on "Fast Pace World"...but the "Mighty Kwin" song (although well recieved and liked by Sal Graci & Va'Les) was not going to be released because Kwin thought it lacked the energy & the production & his own Flow Delivery on that song were

Happy New Year yall.... This song was made on the Roland 880 EX at APG Forx Studios. The first time Kwin Recorded a song on this Shallow aka Nvisible Beat was in Richmond Virginia in 2001. "I Shed Blood" with scratches by Shallow as well. The lyrics Kwin Did on that were not good enough for releasing in his oppinion and he wanted to do something differantly on this beat. The Introductory words for the album are slowed down DJ Screw Style, real real slow... Then The whole Delivery was made in the style that Kwin MD felt when he wrote it. The second recording was done in 2004....Kwin Layed it & Kwin Mixed it.
