Much to the beats allure, the vocal soul samplings are put on a loop throughout the entirety of the song, leading us on a abstract journey between metaphysical states and the right frame of mind. If, for example, <em><strong>&#8220;Didn&#8217;t I&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> was playing within a lyrical cypher, every participant would naturally draw off the slow, calculated energy of the beat itself, yet maintain enough focus to navigate their next move.<\/p>\n<p>The beat serves as a perfect example of what we can expect with Producer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lifewithkahlil\">Kahlil Brandon<\/a> forthcoming project. Presenting us with <em><strong>&#8220;Didn&#8217;t I&#8221;<\/strong><\/em> off his upcoming debut beat tape <strong>&#8220;Cohiba Daze&#8221;<\/strong>, the entire beat collection is set to drop July 21st.  If the haunting and &#8220;press play again!&#8221; effect holds true, <strong>&#8220;Cohiba Daze&#8221;<\/strong> is definitely set out to be a must for both beat and instrumental aficionados alike.
