Use the Groove to Shift your Mood | Soul Jazz Hip Hop Beats
by Marcus Fung
Welcome to my collection of jazz, lo-fi, hip hop beats on IT. Groove in popular music has largely been influenced by African-American expression in music. The breakbeat, and hip-hop drums have been adopted for good reason. The pulse of life, makes us feel good and helps to change our mood. Jazz is the cultural, spiritual expression and synthesis of the collision of Eastern European harmonies mixed with the soulful expression of Afro-Americans in America as a result of the horrific transatlantic slave trade. In the spirit of jazz, live freedom in form and improvisation, the spirit of resilience, creativity, and acknowledgment and transcendence over difficulty and challenges. It is a mindset and a way of being. Jazz music has been one of my first loves and is now much more easily digestible in a popular form such as hip hop beats and lo-fi as in low-fidelity recordings, characterized by a fuzzy, dusty sound that is at once relaxing, mellow, chillout out and uplifting.
