- About Auta -
Composed and produced this track since 2011. I used Zoom H2n to record this track and arranged it in my DAW. When I record my human violin sounds, I was very sad for what happened with my life at that time. I put the emotion on my human violin. I wrote the lyric sometimes in April 2012. I recorded the hook few months later at Swek Crib which held by Eyl from Krayziesoundz. Many artists I showed this track most of it wanted to be on it because they like the instrumental but I reject them, I want the right artist to be on it, not simply to hop on it. I originally wanted myself to rap on this but my verse I wrote at time wasn't up to my standard. I wrote many times for this verse then came to a point I let it slide. I come back later for this. Near end of 2016, Essam Muhammad came to Malaysia because he got some projects to do with my friend Salem Abduhu, with me for an EP and as well for his tracks I am featured in, "Song of the Crickets". I already pre-shared this instrumental to Essam while he is still in Seattle, USA. He wrote a verse to my concept I've given. It was in English. In May 2017, I opened up this project session and I layer my vocals on the hook with lots of emotion. I recorded this after someone broke my heart and it was painful. I pour all my sadness in this song. Then came to a point, it bothers me in 2018, this song is better all in Malay because the hook was in Malay that I wrote and performed. But I like Essam's verse. This track was originally called "Blinded by Confusion". So I muted his verse and I have a listen who I wanted to rap in Malay for this track. I contacted Hade$, she's a fan of mine. She used to followed up my movement and I didn't know she could rap until her audition on 16 Baris. I had an option, if I don't get any reply from her, I might rap on this. She replied and said yes and she was very happy to hop on it. Why I want her because of her lyrics, she can write amazing quality lyrics, also her voice was unique and she has amazing flow. Before I send her the instrumental to her, I changed the title of the song to "Auta".
