Projects
Here's a list of projects that I have worked on and a little description of them. I hope you enjoy reading about these as much as I had working on these. - Alaniz Beatz
This was project was a simple 5 track cd. This was done in collaboration a homie from back in the day (Lil Spooks). 3 of the songs were: 1 collab and 2 were solos. The other 2 remaining tracks were a mix of unfinished/unreleased songs we had available. I recorded, mixed & mastered the project as well as provided the artwork. Lyrics were written and performed by Lil Spooks & I.
This was a full collaboration album done with Lil Spooks. It was a full 21 song cd touching on various topics. Like most "mixtapes" of the early 2000's, all the beats were either from other rappers or just samples I decided to make into beats. I also recorded, mixed & mastered the album as well as provided the artwork. Lyrics were written and performed by Lil Spooks & I.
My good friend EFE of EFE Productions (R.I.P) had gotten at me to mix & master his 1st album. He wrote and recorded his lyrics and also produced some of the beats and also did the artwork. This album was a great experience for me and I am grateful EFE for getting at me to work on this!
So about after a year since EFE had released this album, I had learned so much more about mixing and mastering. I went back to this album and gave it a new mix & master. I then presented it to EFE and he noticed the difference and pressed up this version of the album to sell.
EFE and I had decided to join forces and whip up this sick beat tape. We both brainstormed ideas and went straight to work. The end result was a banging beat cd. Beats by EFE Productions & Alaniz Beatz. Cd artwork by EFE Productions.
This cd was my first solo beat project. I was still inspired from the collaboration beat tape I did with EFE, so I decided to do one on my own. As you can tell by the tittle, the beats on this project are mostly on the West Coast type of vibe. I also did the album artwork.
This project is a compilation of songs that I had laying around collecting dust. Since I've kept almost all of my sessions, I was able to provide a brand new mix & master to these old songs. This album also features people that I have worked with in the past including: Lil Spooks, EFE, Maldito Villa, Stonie just to name a few. Most of the beats were done by me. The artwork on this one was provided by my homie EFE of EFE Productions!
This album comes from the Mexside of the rap game! Ese Charly, a member of the Sureno Stilo rap group had come across my beats. From there he had contacted me and have been working together ever since. This album has 15 tracks and out of those, all but 4 are my beats which in turn feels good to hear and know that one's work is appreciated!
This is the second album that my homie EFE dropped and unfortunately, it was his last. Since the success of his first album, he got at me again to provide the mixing & mastering on this album. Also, this time around, I provided a few beats for him to use on this cd. Like the first album, he wrote and recorded his lyrics as well as did the artwork for the album.
This is the most recent release from Sureno Stilo! This project is another banging album featuring 15 tracks. Out of those, all but one beat are beats that I did. Another dope thing about this album is that my boy EFE did the artwork. This is a great cd no doubt and many thanks to Ese Charly and the SS crew for using my beats on this project!
