- Import these into the software where the beat is to be made from; cutting, mixing, fading or cross-fading them where necessary, throwing in effects or not, and most importantly, creatively spacing them apart across time/the soundtrack, so that finally, a drum pattern is created that someone can rap to and which is preferably easy to dance-to/nod-to as well. That becomes the baseline of the (Hip Hop) song.

- Then record some musical instrument that produces a [sweet/catchy] melody; like a guitar, piano, fiddle, a whistle, a melodious sound effect from nature e.g a bird's song, or some creative noise from anything... That shall become the background behind the drum/percussion baseline we made earlier. In my case for example, I usually make my own melodies using a piano keyboard as part of the band MAZERA, so, for this project, I just used/sampled one of those old sounds from MAZERA piano recordings.

- Layer and mix the two; the percussion baseline and the melody bits, adjusting their relative volumes so as to properly balance the melody against the drums (in some beats, the drums must be louder than the melody, in others, the reverse, and then others perhaps both have equal energy). That becomes the song's instrumental or rather beat.

- Finally, record the actual performance of the song's lyrics and/or video, and place the finished instrumental (perhaps first saved separately and then merely imported into the song making project/software) as background in the song project.

- With proper care given to the start (introduction/intro) and end (outro) of the song you're producing; for example, by removing some of the instruments and sounds used in the rest of the song from those parts/sections, so as to make the start and end simpler and different from the rest of the song; then the final song is somewhat fully made and is ready!

I then went ahead to quickly produce and then package the underground Hip Hop (perhaps even DnB-like) beat that you hear supporting the video lecture on Hip Hop that's linked to. I used the on-mobile video production software, YouCut --- which I generally already know well/better than the still unfamiliar BandLab mobile app.

I listened to and watched the final product and it was convincing enough even though definitely so much improvisational and that it could use further improvements -- but there was no time! Re-uploaded this to YouTube and it was well received and accepted as a copyrights-free video & sound product.

Thus original modern music can be made using just a smartphone, nature and your own creativity!

MOMENTS With ARCH L | Hip Hop Lesson: RAP and Produce BEATS too!

---[SYNOPSIS]:

In this paper, inspired by a mini-lecture to youngsters about Hip Hop , we bring together the important thoughts and recommendations made by a seasoned and experienced listener, performer, producer and deejay of Underground Hip Hop-the person of Joseph Willrich Lutalo, also known by their various monikers and branding handles such as "Nemesis Fixx", "Arch L", "DJ Pluto", "BATEMBUZYI", "MAZERA" etc. across various different styles of creative musical projects by the Nuchwezi Media Lab (NML). Especially, we learn some important facts concerning the creative process of producing an original Underground Hip Hop work such as a beat/instrumental, song or music video via improvisation, use of readily accessible modern software, as well as use of a basic [smart] mobile phone and some creativity with nature.

Meanwhile, how many of you have made some (or any) AI out there, a core part of your day-to-day life?

Does it make some other humans in your life obsolete or not?

## A Call To Men: Let's Prepare Ourselves

❝The useful tradition of preparing for the uncertain by having the right intervention methods and tools goes back to the ancient days of Moses that knew to make and wield certain kinds of strange and varied weapons and tools against not only natural challenges but also the supernatural. We also see such ingenuity helping David win a war against giants such as Goliath single-handedly. But also, we ought not forget the tale of Theseus that used a mere thread to navigate the complex Labyrinth, a mysterious death trap, killed the Minotaur therein and emerged alive. Of course, our tools need not only be physical or spiritual such as for the case of hunting down and eliminating vampires, but could also be intellectual and theoretical; such as when the ideas and work of Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi and others helped in the creation of the atomic bomb that eventually helped in bringing the Second World War to an End with the conquest of Japan.❞

β€”β€”β€” Joseph Willrich Lutalo, Researcher, Internet President at Nuchwezi.

We now have ZHA v1.0.1, and we can see its improved output in the screenshot attached, in which session a one hacker not belonging to the famous 'LulzSec' holds a conversation with a PRESIDENT concerning a Central Bank that was hacked not so far back! Hahaha...…

---[ABOUT PUBLICATION]:

This is a paper about a newly released cutting-edge AI chatbot from Nuchwezi Research.

---[TITLE]:

Introducing ZHA, a real q-AGI

---[SYNOPSIS]:

This is a brief introduction to the special personal assistant from Nuchwezi Research known as ZHA; Zee Hacker Assistant. The work builds upon earlier work on TEAPA and TEAPAT, two personal assistants for the Linux command-line that were prototype examples of how to practically utilize the still young, TEA general-purpose text-processing oriented programming language in implementing chatbots.
