"The palette for creating music is as vast and vivid as we allow it to be. Growing up in the late 70's and 80's, the songwriters and emcees painted pictures with their lyrics. complimented by sonic backdrops that gave listeners a complete experience. I wanted to do that with this album. Hip Hop has taught me you can create music from almost anything. I used my drum machine and a keyboard to create a body of work that reminded me of how true that statement is. Challenging, yes, but to see what I have opened myself up to create is a personal triumph. To move beyond fear, past distractions, and allow what's in your heart to thrive... that's the "Magic". The "Beat Machine" is your heart. ". - Drue Davis "that new @DrueDavisMusic album is serious. Probably best album I heard by someone I know in awhile and I know a lot of d**e artists. Complete". - Tweet from Emcee and El Grito Poet, Chilo
