Nicholas Marcell Speed aka “Nick Speed”, a record producer and disc jockey from Detroit, Michigan, noticed the post on Facebook and reached out to Justin. They had a conversation that lead to a conversation between myself and Nick Speed. It was amazing to learn the drum machine had actually been owned by 50 Cent and Sha Money XL under the G-Unit organization. Gifted to Nick Speed after he was hired to make beats for 50 Cent and G-Unit. What… this is a machine with authentic history!
The bamboo wrist rest made sense, relevant to the 36 Chambers of Shaolin affiliation defined by the iconic Wu Tang Clan. I had been talking to the owner of a local powder coat shop, and was excited about getting a few of the aluminum panels and bezel done in a beautiful deep yellow. Countless hours of attention to detail, hand crafting and endless polishing… the results of course making it all worth while. Each project an extension of the creative journey, taking on a life of its own.
