Timeline: November 22nd 2024 - December 10th 2024
This one is basically the official start of our career I remember Lukeri and Vertex wanted to make songs some years back so I told them something like How about we remake this shit and make a group?On november 22nd is when we started working on the album we recorded a version of Tri marke that was called Lukas i tri marke because that was the original name of the song a few years back and also they had a song called Pet feninga,the names and the concepts coincidentally matched each other. Ok so back to the recordings me and Lukeri recorded some shit outside our school (mind you we were in school at the time) and it was a celebration of independence day of our country and we were like This is boring and we went outside and recorded some bars for Lukas i tri marke but that name was short lived because just a minute after we recorded that we recorded a version with Tri marke instead of Lukas i tri marke. So i went home and made some concept covers for the album, i stylized the name i thought about for weeks and it was FINAN2IJE instead of FINANSIJE FINAN2IJE is basically a V1 of FINANSIJE but even when we made the covers for FINAN2IJE we still were not sure whether should we name the song Lukas i tri marke or just tri marke I didnt like the design of FINAN2IJE so i redesigned it and made it a more darker tone because FINAN2IJE had a neon green background and shit it was eyerape i hope you never see the cover. Ok then later i sent Lukeri my design of FINANSIJE on a CD and that was the thing that made us do this music shit he praised it and i was like cool (also mention: our group was supposed to be called DSC not NTP, because thats what i came up with first,FINAN2IJE was basically under the name DSC because you can see the name on the backcover) And even though i finally set the tri marke name as tri marke on the back cover of FINANSIJE, the name Lukas i tri marke was STILL on the side of the CD. On november 23rd i recorded an intro for the song and it was basically the first STUDIO recording for FINANSIJE and that was all. Next week i brought in Vertex to record Tri marke and lukeri couldnt come idk why but we recorded it it was basically a one take demo of tri marke where there was no cuts no edits it was basically rapping while the beat was running,after a few tries we finished the version and we used Eminems Just dont give a fuck beat cuz it was kinda cool for me i guess. Oh and we recorded a second version of the intro. We didnt record Pet feninga throughout this period at all not even a recording in school, nothing our main focus was Tri marke. Basically thats all for this album me and lukeri did some freestyles in school and stuff a few days after we came up with the first concept of a new version of Finansije that would be known as Welcome to N.T.P. Also we had an idea for a song called: Bogatasi mi mi and it was NEVER EVER recorded its only lyrics. Not even a beat nothing. We might get around to recording it, maybe not idk. And yeah thats all
Timeline: January 1st 2025 - January 29th 2025
At the end of 2024, we started from scratch We basically revamped the whole FINANSIJE idea into something more... Listenable and professional if you wanna call it that. The first concept for the album was a back cover on December 7th 2024 where i got an idea that we make an album full of our solo songs. We had sides like the NTP side,the MC Lukas (MC Lukeri) side,the Vertex side and the A.L.E.N side. I was inspired by Eminems old group soul intents EP/Mixtape of some sort where he had sides of his artists. The second concept was a cover for Ilegalno Legalan (basically Ilegalno Legalno v1) which was very similar to the final cover tho it only had our names and not those little window border thingies and also didnt have our pictures. And the logo was just plain text and not the red logo on the final version. So we basically were leaning more into that album instead of FINANSIJE and by January 1st 2025 we completely stopped doing it. The first name for the album was N.T.P. EP because thats the name of the folder i was storing the songs on. The first thing i did for the album (i THINK) was just the intro. The name Welcome to N.T.P. came up a few days later because i thought it would be a good debut name. (fun fact: the last song we worked on was Mrs because Lukeri wasnt giving in his verse until January 28th! a day before release and he was so mad he made the shitty verse: Mrs, Mrs, Mrs, Mrs Samo mrs, mrs, mrs Ja kada kazem sta ima tu To je brate brate kolac Ahu! Slovenija tu je Casa casa, casa, casa, yeah it was ass but we kept it. We had no choice either) The process was smooth basically until on January 6th i was so mad Lukeri wasnt giving in his verses/songs that i threw my mouse at a wall, saying that these songs are shit and stuff then i made Matematika (v1) which was basically all the feelings from that day poured into one song, its low quality like the final version but way more raw i guess and the beat was literally a pencil tapping on the desk on loop. It was all settled though because he sent me 2 songs Telefon and Express so that was a win. On january 5th i was just making reference tracks for them but they never were used at all except maybe some of the parts were reused in their verses or even mine. Also there was an outro for the album, but i thought it just didnt need an outro. This is probably one of my favorite projects we made right now. Also, the album could be labeled as a mixtape due to many stolen beats we just rapped on (Tri marke and Rasist na djelu: Just dont give a fuck, Pet Feninga: Tyler the creator - 3-D, Telefon: Antichrist, To Be Honest: Random Youtube beat: "Hustle").
