Father Focus Confucius x Hi-Q – The Ballad of the Broken Toys

1 Emcee, 1 Producer, No Features. “FFC x Hi-Q present “The Ballad of Broken Toys” is easily the most concise and consistent album I’ve ever created… I was sitting in the car listening to some older Caribbean struggle music records one day and came across something I thought was the perfect sample… but since my beat lab is temporarily down I decided to hit Q up and ask him to flip the record for me cuz he never misses, ever… he sent back something so beautiful I wrote and recorded the track that night. Soon as I was done I realized I had a bunch of these old island records in the cut that would create a really unique, personal and soulful vibe for a Hip Hop album so I asked Q if he would flip them ALL for me lmaooo… I asked him this knowing he was already in the middle of a million projects at the time which probably makes me a terrible friend but he obliged… I chose 8 records for him to flip and he sent me back 8 of the best beats I’ve ever rocked on and 10 days later we had an entire album recorded and mixed 1 producer, 1 MC, no features added an intro today that’s absolutely brilliant… talked to one of my guys about doing the video for our lead single “Swinging”… set the digital release for January 1st and then we’re doing a full physical run through Omega Level Records shortly after!!! Every song is amazing… by far some of my best writing… Qs beats are out of this universe and sound nothing like any other project out right now… the way these songs go in and out of each other and never lose track of what the album about is something I’ve never achieved before… the mix sounds so full and warm… “Swinging” is the strongest lead single I’ve ever dropped and 1 of these other songs will go down as one of the top 5 most important songs I’ve ever made in my opinion Thank you in advance to anybody that cares ” – Father Focus Confucius credits releases January 1, 2025 Emcee: Father Focus Confucius Producer: Hi-Q Mixed, Mastered, and cuts by Hi-Q © 2024 Omega Level Records
