NI Expansion: Queensbridge Story v2.0.1 [WIN & MAC]

EAST COAST INFAMY

• Created by Mobb Deep’s Havoc, one of hip hop’s living legends
• Features 50 MASCHINE and 61 BATTERY Kits for clean melodies and dirty beats
• Exclusive MASSIVE presets add additional low end punch.

BRIDGE TO THE WORLD

Havoc first rose to fame as a member of Mobb Deep – one of the hardest hitting duos to emerge from the early 90s hip hop scene in Queens, NY. His signature production style was featured on recordings from Nas, The Notorious B.I.G., P. Diddy, Method Man, and more. In his second decade as a producer, Havoc took up MC duties on solo records while contributing production duties to 50 Cent. Now Havoc’s sound can be heard on fresh cuts from Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo.

THE SOUND OF A MASTER
QUEENSBRIDGE STORY showcases the eclectic sound of Mobb Deep producer and New York hip hop giant Havoc. It collects the very best samples from Havoc’s library, curated by the man himself. These kits and instruments deliver a gritty blend of hip hop’s second golden age and the new-classic stylings heard on some of the hottest contemporary hits – a signature sound of pure fire by one of hip hop’s living legends.

NI Expansion: Headland Flow v2.0.1 [WIN & MAC]

Throughout the 1990s, a new type of hip hop started bubbling up across the American South. Unlike its sample-driven cousins in New York and California, Southern hip hop dropped soulful keys, bluesy bass lines, and funky breaks played by live musicians on top of traditional drum machine programming. And although Houston and New Orleans helped lay the groundwork, the epicenter of the “Dirty South” was at the corner of Headland and Delowe, in the heart of Atlanta’s East Point neighborhood.

DISTINCTIVELY SOUTHERN

HEADLAND FLOW fuses thick grooves from traditional drum machines with live, funky breaks, R&B-flavored instrumentation, and gritty percussion. Fender bass, Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster, and Les Paul guitars provide an authentic, analog vibe. Rhodes and Wurlitzer keyboards, flutes, and winds add melodic elements with atmospheric synths, harps, and strings for background texture. And painstaking recording and mixing methods give the sounds distinct Southern character.

Raw drum hits and one-shots come DAW-ready – plus tempo-based construction loops give you building blocks for inspiration.
