You just have to stop and listen as always I put the sounds into my MPC live and made them my own Here's what I got I collected all these sounds chopped them up and stuck them into the MPC I Really liked the sound of the effect on the ukulele and came up with this loop And then I collected a beat together and came up with this Okay, your turn now Write down some words or phrases you think of when you hear the word kindness You can use phrases that you heard from the other artists before or come up with your own There's no right or wrong answer.
