A Fan Asked Me to Remix Ben 10... In 2020. I Finally Did It.

Someone DM’d me in January 2020 asking for a Ben 10 lofi remix. It’s 2026 and I finally made it.

This one took longer than I expected (allergies and all), full session from downloading the MP3 to finalizing the chords. Shoutout to the one guy who’s been waiting 6 years.
