On his latest project titled Yesterday’s Future, Floridian rapper Laws took quite the interesting approach to his mixtape by featuring remakes of several Paul McCartney songs.
In a video by Decatur Dan, Laws and those involved in the making of Yesterday’s Future including producers from the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League spoke on creating such a unique mixtape.
“I went through all the solo catalogs over the years and I really liked how different one Paul McCartney song sounded from the next it kind of reminded me of me,” Laws explained. “You know the way I like to approach music and I just got tired of listening to Hip Hop beats for a minute. I think I still am.”
Yesterday’s Future includes production from the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League as well as Feb 9 of production duo Phan 4.
“When Laws first came to me with the project I wasn’t too familiar with the song and the way it sounded. It was very unique and he was very adamant in a specific part of the track that he wanted,” said Feb 9. “The problem that I had was I was kinda in my Hip Hop making mindset.”
According to Rook of the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League the project may have started off as something smaller and worked its way into a full project from Laws.
“It was like his interpretation of what Paul McCartney was talking about,” Rook explained. “I was like ‘yo, this shit was so dope that you should make a whole project.’”

man i rarely post comments on here but this is crazy. the beats sound good. but i know there wasnt much into recording some of this stuff….kinda like the hiphop beats this artist is “tired” of. i dont think its a smart move being a new artist blasting the way me beat makers make samples in to hiphop music. if your tired of hiphop beats than dont redo another artist’s shit…..at least sample from a more unknown name artist like neil young….or make your own shit up. im sure you can sale that way
but thats al J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League does is replay samples. they dont have many original hits. they dont even give credit half the time
I mean, when you are signed to J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, I see why you are tired with regular rap beats. They aren’t bad producers but to someone who has the library of records that I have, these dudes just redo old samples and call it their own unless its on some south ish. I can go song for song and name the samples but I dont want to dry snith on uncleared samples, LOL. But REAL crate diggers know what it is.
Yo, I finally cleared all the shit from my credit reports, getting out of that gutter for the first time in 5 years. Got that loan for a brand new Mustang finally,
If any of y’all got any sort of credit problems, call 877-667-4052. They do all the work for you, and got me clean in 3 months for 40 bucks. My homie’s stuff was worse than mine, and they cleaned him up too, amazing shit! Ring them up!
JL didn’t replay magnificent or luxury tax & a few more tracks off trilla but still they dont even replay tracks them self’s like maybach music’s they had a band replay that shit they are overrated madlib >
Sounds like a great way to get sued before your career starts! well worked for Danja Mouse…
haterssssss
