Hip Hop is electronic music. Make sure that doesn’t get left out of the conversation. As a matter of fact, most of these sub-genres of electronic music wouldn’t exist without Hip Hop.
So when you see me gliding between genres, just know the root is the same. 🤝🏾😤

If you didn’t know, up until Marley Marl, Hip Hop drums were only made up of Breaks. Marley was the first to chop a break into one shots and program his own patterns. That one move did more for MUSIC OVERALL than a lot of bands/artists combined.
DJ Marley Marl, the greatest hip-hop producer that ever lived, turns 60 today.
They're all children of Marley Marl.

Friendly reminder: the name “Jungle” came from reclaiming a term coined by racist upper class white folks used to describe the music made by working class black and brown people.
So drum n bass and all offshoots of jungle is inherently Black too. Don’t get it Twisted.
The rigs of all the 90s/ 00s Junglists were crazy. Lots of tech magic at work.

Here’s two tips that I wish I knew earlier
1) your hi hats/cymbals/shakers & tambourines are the only things that sit in that frequency range, they don’t need to be loud.
2) Every sound has a sweet spot, trimming the excess frequencies gives you the headroom to increase volume

Artist/ Musician shouldn’t be a celebrity career. There are so many of us who just want to be able to do the thing we love the most and have no interest in being famous.
We have to be able to create a space for the arts as a sustainable long term career.

Stop trying to return to “normal”. The world doesn’t pause like this and go back to “normal”.
Take this time to really understand what matters to you. Don’t rush to create things, just be present.
Reconnect with yourself because work really separates us from who we are

You’re not supposed to “get it right” in your 20s. You just spent 18 years doing what other people told you to do. It’s totally okay to “fail” because up till this point “failure” was defined to you by someone else.

Jazz being the “intellectual” music while hip hop is the “talentless” music is classist and divisive. The connecting thread is Black innovation and expression. That’s why a lot of people that make “Jazz” don’t identify with the genre.

On Dilla day I want you all to remember that it doesn’t take fancy EQs and plugins to make timeless music. It takes knowing what you want to say and how you’re going to say.

Remember: Gentrification causes displacement (which can fuel desperation) and also elevates police presence in otherwise black/brown/ working class neighborhoods.

Make hardware more accessible for young black and brown kids. As a Black hardware/synth junkie, I love talking about gear with other Black Folx.
Kids should be able to be inspired by gear so they can go an innovate. That was what my focus was with KORG and it remains the same.

Music theory doesn’t take the life out of your beats. That’s the big misconception. Music theory doesn’t give you “rules” to play by. It just speeds up the process of guessing what works.

We need to start teaching people what it means to build a sustainable music career. Not ever doctor is world famous, but they can pay their bills. By that logic not every musician needs to be Dr. Dre, just be able to pay their bills off their craft.

Timeless music only happens when the artists aren’t concerned with anything other than their own vision. When you’re focused on a trend (a literal sign of the times) your music lasts as long as that trend is on top.

As music and music production (art as a whole really) becomes further commodified, you begin to see less and less artists leave room for the “magic” that happens in creativity, in exchange for carrying out a successful formula. Kind of a bummer.

Gentrification and the bastardized version of Hip Hop beats. Also a lot of black and brown creators being left out of the conversation rubbed a lot of us the wrong way.
Why is "lo-fi" such a bad word now?
Cuz jazzy chill beats always gon' win w/ me. to listen to & rap over.
Maybe cuz I don't make beats, I don't get why ppl get upset/distance themselves from that style of beatmaking.

Mixing hack: When you get a rough volume mix/arrangement of your track that you’re satisfied with, export it.
That early version serves as a reference point so as the finalization process continues, you don’t lose sight of what you LOVED about the track.

This energy is the problem I have with people who learn to play instruments. Having access to instruments and instructors is a PRIVILEGE. Sampling allowed music to be something that people without access could do. I’ll still do my lessons tho just cuz I love the piano 🤗

Before you start trying to swing your drums, get comfortable playing on time with the beat. It’ll help you find the pockets/resolutions.
