00:27:14: .I have tradition on the show where I asked all my guests Who is your all-time favorite DJ,

00:27:21: bro?

00:27:23: DJ DJ or like DJ that kind of can...

00:27:27: Like when you hear the word DJ who first comes to mind.

00:27:33: Or give me a top three if you prefer.

00:27:36: Well I'm gonna say my brother.

00:27:39: number one DJ technique.

00:27:42: RIP To My Bro.

00:27:45: He's The First Like when we were, you know teenagers like fourteen fifteen.

00:27:49: he started DJing and He was just a natural man.

00:27:53: He's I knew what to do right out of the gate And...I mean..he inspired me To do deejaying.

00:28:00: then he went into beats Inspired me go to beat so that he was The main dude.

00:28:06: set it off for me You know?

00:28:07: I'm gonna put it like that.

00:28:09: Then at time because With hip hop Right!

00:28:13: He started Because of Hip Hop.

00:28:16: Back then Of course it was really, I mean i gotta say DJ Premier man like just for the cuts on The Hook.

00:28:25: Just that kind of thing which is next level at the time even Pete Rock.

00:28:28: back then he was scratching you know on Mecca and main ingredient stuff.

00:28:34: And just because they were so popular as kids You know, those are the people you hear because your young.

00:28:42: You don't have to be able find out how they were there and kind of a combination of all that.

00:28:50: Yup, yup, yup.

00:28:51: Legendary name that you just said man.

00:28:53: Of course, of course... The best back

00:28:55: then.

00:28:56: Yup!

00:28:57: Yup!

00:28:58: G-Rock had heavy delay on their cuts And Fremont has like the sharp, crispy cut.

00:29:04: I mean it

00:29:06: was just... What i say is even though DJ Premier scratching hook on the track.

00:29:11: It's like having a verse from a rapper, you know Like you can You can hear the way he scratches and also what?

00:29:17: What phrase is you know what sentences are using in scratch to make it rhyme with next one?

00:29:23: Yeah

00:29:26: Crazy I mean like you know nowadays like the premier people's beats aren't as good.

00:29:32: but when you hear those cuts He still puts a smile your face because that's his signature signature sound right there.

00:29:40: Yeah, it's like you know some beats he did for Gangsta maybe had three or four notes pretty much simple beats but when he dropped the scratches on that creates automatically a signature sound and they can be a simple beat.

00:29:55: But When You Hear Those Scratches From Primo And instead you know the cherry on the cake

00:30:01: man Just takes you back like i said puts a little smile on your face.

00:30:07: still because you know everybody gets older nobody nothing stays the same sounds.

00:30:12: don't stay the same people don't say the same.

00:30:14: but when you hear a little something like that still it's still makes you feel good.

00:30:19: yep yeah we'll talk man.

00:30:20: and I heard that you nas in DJ premiere album.

00:30:23: some people were not feeling it, I understand.

00:30:25: It's not the same!

00:30:26: But if we are lucky to have those guys still making music You know, my favorite one is writers.

00:30:32: When he talks about the graffiti writer as they say all the legendary names that's hip hop right there when you have to cut it?

00:30:39: That's what we need man!

00:30:41: Yeah maybe... We still love that era man.

00:30:44: I mean It's been if you want talk more like their early nineties spent over thirty years and we still wanna hear that music We're not tired of yet To think about..I always talked this If you look at like another genre within let's say sample-based hip hop, what other genre has lasted as long is that?

00:31:09: Going back like sixty years.

00:31:11: What genre was around that long?

00:31:16: Maybe reggae music... I don't think it's a system.

00:31:20: Maybe reggaey music.

00:31:22: I never thought about reggae.

00:31:23: I'm thinking the traditional jazz rock soul R&B Even hip-hop, you know because in the eighties and it was different.

00:31:33: But then once the nineties came that nineties to now.

00:31:36: That sound is still right here.

00:31:37: It's just you know morphed and changed a bit but like the essence of it Is still there yep?

00:31:43: Yep so in that respect

00:31:45: yeah I think you know people are coming back to authentic music.

00:31:49: You know back in twenty ten twenty fifteen or two kind went into trap music which is not bad.

00:31:54: you know i like some trap music and I don't like what you made from it.

00:31:58: I'm in the bar, im in a club...I want to hear something shit like that.

00:32:01: but

00:32:03: times are changing.

00:32:04: we can take guys like West Side Gun, Conway the whole Griseldo camp.

00:32:10: they kind of brought back boom bap on their map.

00:32:13: its good for people like me because we never stop doing this shit been doing it our whole life and he's coming back on the map.

00:32:20: so you know, It is good to have that man.

00:32:23: People are going back to getting Vinyls, purchasing cassettes CDs also.

00:32:28: You know I think right now its a good time for hip hop.

00:32:31: like what do you thing?

00:32:33: Well

00:32:34: kind of like what i was saying earlier in some respect the farther removed you get as well.

00:32:40: And if I consider myself, because i do music.

00:32:45: I am so far removed That...I'm not really one to ask Because..i don't listen a much

00:32:54: now

00:32:55: anymore and.... I remember when in two thousand and twelve When I was working with Purpose and we did The joint with Cormega We met Cormaga.

00:33:09: you know cause.

00:33:10: He recorded the verse up here And I asked him back in two thousand twelve, what are you listening to right now?

00:33:17: He's like...I'm listenin' stuff from the seventies like

00:33:20: R&B.

00:33:22: and i was like wow really that is crazy!

00:33:24: I wouldn't have thought about it.

00:33:25: but now look at myself and im kind of like in those same boats.

00:33:28: so its just kinda weird some people.

00:33:32: maybe if I didn't do music then I'd be different But because I did a music too when Im older Its just like..im kinda just removed.

00:33:39: I just gotta listen my stuff.

00:33:41: I say on the car I don't listen anything.

00:33:43: I talk to myself, i'm like crazy you know?

00:33:49: You're not the only one.

00:33:50: I remember...I think I was reading your exhibit interview and he was saying that in his playlist you can barely find any hip-hop.

00:33:57: it just listens to soul music rock but at the same time you make some dope hip hop music!

00:34:04: I think you don't need to force it when its in your blood.

00:34:07: then you've been doing for a while..you dont'need listen to it everyday.

00:34:10: It comes out naturally.

00:34:13: Yeah, I agree.

00:34:14: It does and you know like we said it takes on different shades but the core is still there.

00:34:19: The foundation's always there.

00:34:21: You just bring it out a little bit here or in there And then come back to do something else But its' always there.

00:34:27: Yep yep Let us go back into time.

00:34:29: man Do remember today when your finally decided To become producer.

00:34:35: Take shit seriously Then do it as professional.

00:34:40: Well I mean, honestly like i said going back to when my brother was started DJing This is probably like...I don't know Can never remember the dates.

00:34:51: It's either like ninety-two or like ninety

00:34:53: four and

00:34:58: you Know he was just already doing his thing.

00:34:59: And then one night I wasn in another room He was playing these beats!

00:35:04: When I came out of my room What is this?

00:35:08: Yo How did you do that?

00:35:10: Like as soon as I heard those beats That's what I want to do.

00:35:16: And from that point forward until two thousand and one, i was just trying To get my hands on different equipment but in two thousand One is when i got the MPC?

00:35:26: And thats When i really like.

00:35:28: okay this Is a machine i need because it Really is gonna allow me to Do

00:35:32: What i Want.

00:35:33: you know

00:35:33: In My mind The other Machines would give Me A little taste of It But the mpc Was when i became like okay, I'm ready to go.

00:35:44: So i would consider that two thousand one really be the starting point.

00:35:48: but then two thousand eleven... Like always making beats right?

00:35:52: But when the element of surprise came out and look back on it said you know people say takes ten years or ten thousand hours to master your craft.

00:36:04: And that album came about ten years after I got the MPC.

00:36:09: Consider that album, you know the ones who heard it.

00:36:12: so I'm like man.

00:36:12: All right That was my time but i started putting in The work and oh one to get To that point

00:36:19: Sir.

00:36:19: then You created a magical Album Man.

00:36:22: i remember that album.

00:36:24: Shit i took A slap In the face when i heard It.

00:36:26: no bullshit man i wasn't repeat for For a long Time And i went back to it because we talked Together on instagram.

00:36:33: i went Back to the album?

00:36:35: its So dope man still sounds fresh.

00:36:38: Thank you, man.

00:36:38: I appreciate

00:36:39: it Yeah And if he had like a like a few words know to define your style so the people that don't know about you yet Like.

00:36:45: what could you say?

00:36:48: Well You know

00:36:48: in early days like i touched upon with the dj premiere and p rock were always my main influences.

00:36:56: and But at the same time like Pete rocked a little bit more because i'm very musical and Pete Rock was more musical than premier.

00:37:06: but premiere would Different in a sense with the way he chopped up his sounds.

00:37:14: so In the early days, right?

00:37:15: I kind of followed The same format as some people before me like p-rock and premier starting With the jazz going to the soul And then it kinda runnin' Like that kind Of format.

00:37:32: But once i did get To That Soul Then i started.

00:37:38: I started like a

00:37:39: hybrid

00:37:39: approach of P-Rock and Premiere in my music until essentially came into who i would become, which is just having the ear to find sounds.

00:37:54: To always add on to the music...to make it an instrumental that you can listen without somebody's vocals.

00:38:02: And thats what I kinda base my music around.

00:38:05: So its combination at times with both those artists, but then it became with my own personal touch.

00:38:14: And that's who I am.

00:38:16: But now its kinda like im just whatever Like i make stuff.

00:38:20: thats kind of the essence.

00:38:24: You like to stay and use your instinct when you make beats Don't ask yourself too many questions.

00:38:30: Just do what ever comes out naturally in your brain.

00:38:34: Yeah Maybe back then Im gonna be making a premiere beat But I haven't said that.

00:38:38: like a hundred years, you know?

00:38:40: Because it was in the early days when i was trying to find my sort of sound identity.

00:38:46: You want to emulate people who love and but its just starting point until your define yourself.

00:38:55: Which is the hardest thing for an artist.

00:38:58: as producer we always try to emulate them.

00:39:02: at same time.

00:39:04: you know when we take steps in the music industry, do years go by.

00:39:08: We have to find our own lane and find a whole sound

00:39:11: And it's

00:39:12: super difficult to do that You know?

00:39:15: It is!

00:39:15: I mean...and its so easy to compare cause thats..it comes naturally Like i-i-i have a beat That i had on an album coming out Maybe this year.

00:39:25: That i did.

00:39:25: maybe eight years ago.

00:39:28: The dude played for people and they said Is there a premiere?

00:39:32: I didn't, first of all i don't agree that it does sound like premiere because its not like chop heavy.

00:39:37: Like a premier beat.

00:39:39: but you know people like to compare right when they hear something or see something.

00:39:43: But um yeah i mean You Know It's Not Like I Said Out I'm Not.

00:39:47: I Want To Make A Premier Beat.

00:39:48: No I Made The Beat the Way I Heard The Sounds In My Head.

00:39:51: You Know Once I Listen To Him You Know And Just Comes out That Way Sometimes.

00:39:54: Yeah, man.

00:39:55: Have you been here for a while?

00:39:57: You've been making beats for a long time.

00:39:59: and what do you think is the secret to longevity?

00:40:02: What's the secret of staying inspired?

00:40:05: stay motivated still make good music on the regular

00:40:08: That's a good question I Think.

00:40:15: at the end of day your brain has to be wired a certain way that whether without inspiration you're still willing Continuously create and try to innovate at the same time And it really comes down do you're having?

00:40:31: Really good ears To be able listen for the right sounds

00:40:34: to take and

00:40:36: Create like.

00:40:38: not just take sounds and say slap them on too, You know an NPC but... ...to Take the sounds in creates something that you want out of it.

00:40:48: So you gotta have bewildered a certain way In your mind.

00:40:52: And you have to have the right kind of ear to be able to know what sounds to look for.

00:40:58: and I mean, with the MPC.

00:41:01: it's going to be twenty-five years.

00:41:04: Twenty five years making beats like more of a full time sort of basis...I'd say on top that look at your resources And find ways to innovate with the resources, try and continue creating.

00:41:26: Nowadays we like splice in the sound pack stuff... If you're not finding inspiration look for something like that To find inspiration if thats what your need In order to continue to create stuff Like That.

00:41:40: Whatever works For You There's No Rules But

00:41:43: there is no rules anyway.

00:41:46: I stopped collecting vinyl years ago.

00:41:47: Like, oh you know what vinyl?

00:41:49: You're not real.

00:41:50: like no man.

00:41:51: it's whatever you need that is going to help create find and do until that kind of wears out then finds something else.

00:41:59: or just look within you To see if your built for this And keep doing it.

00:42:03: Just keep doing It.

00:42:06: I don't do it like i used to do.

00:42:08: I use to sit down every day Maybe once a week now But im still doing.

00:42:15: You know, it's in your blood man.

00:42:17: It's like a sport shoes.

00:42:21: Yeah We all you know passionate about hip-hop culture and you know A lot of other guys like us want to leave a trace in the hip hop history And new confidence as a producer Like.

00:42:33: what do you want to be remembered

00:42:35: for?

00:42:38: I wanna be

00:42:39: remembered For me.

00:42:41: now gets at the end of day timeless music.

00:42:44: You know like he said you just put on that Rashad album And you said it still sounds good Because I have no expiration date because this just is feels Good to the soul and music like that will never go out of style.

00:43:00: That's why You know, let's say soul music in the seventies.

00:43:04: No, he got these older dudes are like grew up on that.

00:43:07: they still love it Cuz it still sound good to them It don't matter how old it is, you know that guy really goes for kind of any error.

00:43:14: but I Sayed a soul music.

00:43:18: a lot of those samples came from that era, you know for that album.

00:43:22: and um yeah timeless music man.

00:43:25: That's essentially what I want to be remembered for we can put it on any day of the week and it'll still sound good no matter what year.

00:43:35: yep yup you know it's like uh like the Michael Jackson album.

00:43:38: when you go back to them he was made in the eighties seven seas.

00:43:41: They still sound fresh, like the vocals are fresh.

00:43:44: The mix and master is crazy... ...the instruments sounds clean as hell.

00:43:50: You know if it's good music its gonna last forever.

00:43:53: Yeah exactly you know because a lot of people might get into this for different reasons And It might show right?

00:44:01: Because you may listen to an album and be like eh it used to be good It's not as good, I thought it was...I thought i remembered that as you know.

00:44:11: Wish I could have been at any point but im just saying like there'll be something where its like.

00:44:15: eh somethings is not the same You know?

00:44:19: So I mean look Not everything I put out is gonna maybe have that.

00:44:22: But when you had one thing That really nobody can take away from you Like thats the ultimate Someone who made a movie When they were kids in classic No matter what they did for the rest of their life, I'll always have that one movie.

00:44:39: Yeah iIll always Have That One Album That Will Define Me You Know And Im Okay With That Because Some People Never Even Had That.

00:44:46: Yep Thats What I Was About To Say.

00:44:48: Yeah You're Lucky to Have One At Least Ya Know?

00:44:51: Yea thats All you Need Is One You Know Like.

00:44:54: If You Look at It From Let's Say Like Robb Bass It Takes Two.

00:45:00: He's still torn off that one song, right?

00:45:02: All you need is one.

00:45:03: You know his one is bigger than my one but all you needed

00:45:09: was a French singer called Patrick Hernandez.

00:45:14: It did the track.

00:45:15: maybe nobody's called born to be alive it's a disco sound.

00:45:19: and This guy right now in twenty-twenty six he still gets like a thousand euros every day.

00:45:25: Wow

00:45:26: from one

00:45:27: song.

00:45:27: That's crazy, that is next level

00:45:31: Bro like it you know.

00:45:32: movies advertisement dog radio all their stuff every day.

00:45:36: Every day.

00:45:37: It's crazy.

00:45:38: I mean the one hit wonder Like.

00:45:41: i don't look at that as a bad

00:45:42: thing.

00:45:43: I mean then some people are no hits No nothing.

00:45:47: One hit to pay for rest of your life.

00:45:49: Yeah

00:45:49: man

00:45:51: if you pay your rent with dad You know make your family happy and proud of you fuck everything else

00:45:56: bro.

00:45:57: Exactly, man.

00:45:58: They try to put like a negative connotation on that.

00:46:00: one hit wonder.

00:46:03: No, man you got it here.

00:46:04: You know hardest ever

00:46:05: hit.

00:46:06: I real hit that live-on.

00:46:08: Yep

00:46:08: Wow

00:46:09: for a hit.

00:46:09: they can be timeless Like we said

00:46:12: yeah

00:46:13: It's won in the million.

00:46:14: and say exactly if I win the lottery man seriously

00:46:18: And what do you think about?

00:46:21: Because we're in twenty twenty six We have to talk about David.

00:46:23: What do you thing about the use of AI music production?

00:46:27: Well, I've never done

00:46:28: it

00:46:29: except on the side.

00:46:31: somebody told me about It and he played you something.

00:46:35: Wow that sounds ridiculous like I'm impressed.

00:46:38: so I was playing with it And I couldn't really.

00:46:41: You know they get some output where you can hear some beats and stuff but didn't sound good.

00:46:48: and Aside from that Like it doesn't translate well But likes some of the streaming services in ways to Uh, sort of the booster streams like AI.

00:47:00: that's not it's not favorable.

00:47:02: Um Ai and outside music is great but um I don't need the ai unless i just wanted to play around with it and see some.

00:47:11: But yeah That's pretty much it!

00:47:14: I've tried it Just To See And let me tell you It was crazy...I typed in Like a script You know?

00:47:21: I Wanted Some Obscuro Seven Knees Very Slow Rock & Roll With Synthetizers and Shit.

00:47:27: I told him to do that, and I sampled what he gave me.

00:47:32: So i'd sample the

00:47:33: A.I.,

00:47:33: make it human because... ...i made a bit with you And this sound is fresh.

00:47:38: If im not telling you how they say hi You will never know.

00:47:44: It's crazy cause.

00:47:45: thats kind of an idea like How do u know?

00:47:50: In some formats you have to disclose if your used AI for music.

00:47:54: I don't know how that's taken, like if you say yes.

00:48:00: I've seen the...I have seen Eatmaker as a deep-set producer and used AI using sample based AI to make beats with it And he came out fucking dope!

00:48:09: He still has his own sound because he had his own drums on bass lines.

00:48:14: So its still his sound but just using AI samples instead of vinyl.

00:48:20: Well, that's true.

00:48:21: If you could say yeah this sounds good take the drums out You know and you're like you download it then you put in your system.

00:48:30: Yeah I mean That's kind of cool Like.

00:48:33: i wouldn't be opposed to that depending.

00:48:35: No if I can add my elements too.

00:48:38: Not a good point.

00:48:40: I think I'd be opposed because again Find inspiration where you can because You're not always gonna have it and you should still work without It.

00:48:47: but if you could find something usually just gives your

00:48:50: boost.

00:48:51: Yeah, yeah As long as you stay creative with it all depends on what she

00:48:55: do With him

00:48:58: man?

00:48:58: Do we have any advice for the young upcoming producers that are maybe listening to us right now?

00:49:07: I think I was kind of thinking about this actually a few weeks ago On and off.

00:49:12: actually over the course of time a lot Of Well, not a lot.

00:49:18: some producers or beat makers will want to put an album out.

00:49:21: And they wanna get like features.

00:49:23: You know it and some of the features might be dudes that you know we grew up with.

00:49:27: They're gonna give them a verse and stuff in there Like yo I can't believe.

00:49:31: i got So-and-so on my

00:49:33: album.

00:49:33: then they've put it out.

00:49:36: Think if they make something stick at some streams maybe sell some vinyl Whatever It may Be but That's not gonna take them to the next level To do it once right if you want a blow-up With something like that.

00:49:52: You got to keep doing that and that's going across A lot of money, right?

00:49:55: And you know maybe you get a chance to blow up but If you just do like ones You're not gonna.

00:50:02: yeah It's not Gonna Like start your career.

00:50:05: I mean look i did Shot album.

00:50:07: no features didn't start my career really like in a sense on high level where I was into man and making all this money.

00:50:14: So at the end of today just keep trying to create Work with artists that sound good.

00:50:19: You don't even need to work for artist as much anymore.

00:50:22: you can put out instrumentals.

00:50:23: so Don't get caught up with Like?

00:50:28: You got to have features and big names on your project because at the other day, it's not gonna make you who you are.

00:50:36: Make you who he was gonna take a lot of time and work just like anything else in life.

00:50:40: You know when you want success, you got to work hard for it.

00:50:43: Don't expect the jump-in blow up And then whatever.

00:50:47: so I'd say something along those lines because this never had... It never worked For me right?

00:50:53: I tell you about the Cormega track.

00:50:57: Do you think artists were coming after that song?

00:51:01: We'll do let's work on an album?

00:51:02: No they didn't And we paid for that verse.

00:51:05: We didn't make our money back from that first.

00:51:07: But you know, You know what I'm saying right?

00:51:12: Yeah

00:51:12: yeah yeah for sure man and sometimes not even a big name on the track.

00:51:15: It's not a Guarantee that the track will be super dope Because you can mix some ill timeless music with the guy next door.

00:51:24: You don't know.

00:51:25: Yeah exactly an unknown artist Rashad and relatively unknown artists myself.

00:51:33: Look who he made no featured just two dudes that put out the quality music.

00:51:39: luckily it was heard enough for a good amount.

00:51:41: you know decent amount of people not not a lot of people.

00:51:44: there's a lot I don't know about that album but it was enough like for yourself to say man this dude i gotta talk to him, you know?

00:51:53: I want to collaborate somehow.

00:51:55: You know whatever so he just never...you don't Don't fall like just focus on creating and continuously be consistent basically.

00:52:07: Yeah, that's important I think.

00:52:09: yep.

00:52:09: Yep It's like.

00:52:10: you know it's like me.

00:52:11: sometimes i work with hardest then Sometimes i don't charge them for beats when i should be charging them for beat but i'm like You know what.

00:52:20: let's do some music man?

00:52:21: Let's be creative.

00:52:22: Let's do something.

00:52:24: Fuck the money this time And lets build and you never know What comes out of this.

00:52:27: maybe your gonna create a classic album

00:52:30: Exactly.

00:52:32: Is that more important?

00:52:33: Yeah,

00:52:34: you got to let the heart speak for itself

00:52:36: man.

00:52:37: Yeah I didn't... Richard didn't pay me for those beats but actually did in the beginning though But only like.

00:52:43: it was a beat that he heard on this remix thing i put out and That beat- The beat on there became his first our first single but I didn t charge him.

00:52:56: Fiddle beat, I'm like let's work!

00:52:58: Yeah man yo you sound ridiculous.

00:53:00: Let's fucking do something.

00:53:02: That's all i wanted to know.

00:53:02: that's what i cared about Like.

00:53:03: he said

00:53:04: Yep and look where the album became.

00:53:07: To me it is an underground classic And if its a underground classic.

00:53:10: for me It'a a classic of other people

00:53:14: You know?

00:53:15: Yeah yeah no money No.

00:53:17: initial money came from up

00:53:19: front.

00:53:20: Oh yea man Thats what it is Sometimes.

00:53:23: thats how it works.

00:53:24: Yeah, yep.

00:53:26: Yep and what can we expect from you man?

00:54:37: He talks about a lot of topics like that But the beats are ridiculous on that one.

00:54:44: It's similar vein from Rashad when he turns production.
