Inspired by Lupe Fiasco’s Billboard #1 album Food & Liquor, Cooper Anderson (Kanye West, Future, Rick Ross) has chopped our “Funky Drummer” sample replay and created a whole new beat inspired by the track “The Cool.” 


Cooper creates the entire beat on an iPad with under $250 worth of apps, demonstrating every step and decision made along the way. You don’t need a massive recording studio to make great music - you can do it with an iPad.
