DiLLA iNSPiRED US ALL….but…iN MY PERSONAL OPiNiON MAKiNG BEATS THE SAME WAY HE DiD BACK IN THE 90s/2000s..iS MiSSiNG DiLLA’S WHOLE APPROACH. HE STAYED AHEAD OF HiS TiME CREATiVELY! i PROMiSE HE WOULD NOT SOUND THE SAME TODAY. THE BEST TRiBUTE TO DiLLA iS TO iNNOVATE FURTHER
DONT FORGET WHEN CATS LOOKED AT 9th WONDER CRAZY when he sat n front of Fruity Loops. ALSO don’t forget when everyone looked at FLYLO crazy when he played Beats on stage with a Laptop. Do be afraid to innovate and show the potential in things people can’t see yet. 🔥🐨🔥OALA
iT DOESNT ALWAYS MATTER WHAT SOUNDS YOU USE. THE ART iS iN FiNDiNG THE HARMONY BETWEEN THEM. p.s. me and

It’s always good to hear someone of
@kennybeats
stature confirm this for us. And if that uncleared track helps you build a name for yourself…drop that shit without hesitation. When your at a level that it matters, good job…you made it! 💯
You Dont Need Studio Monitors to start learning beats. Won't make a difference anyway cause your room isnt treated. Its okay to just throw dem headphones on and Rock
Hip hop is Electronic music. It’s just not spoke of in this matter. But DJ KOOL HERC was rocking those breaks on Two Turntables as instruments. Then Marley Marl took sampling to the next level when he discovered the “one shot” technique on a starlight sampler atthe radio station
I assume we all in consensus with the fact

TatzumaKiii’s Debut Album, “OALA” premieres this FRIDAY on BANDCAMP🔥🔥🔥I’m GUNNING for the HARDEST BEAT TAPE of 2021! But that’s for the people to decide🔥🔥🚀🚀
🔥🐨🔥👑OALA👑🔥🐨🔥
“GURU” OUT ON BANDCAMP! THiS is an exploration in electronic music and Beat culture. It’s fitting that many of you get to hear it on 404 day, as the Legendary Beatsmith RAS G and his perspective on Neat music was a strong nucleus to the concepts behind this record Link in Bio
I’m at a loss for words how much it means to me to be included in my favorite music column for my first body of work. It’s also amazing to have the work so understood through the writing. I’m a BONAFIDE beat head, and I love beat culture so much. Thank you so much

iii LiTERALLY JUST UNLOCKD A NEW STYLE. iii PRESENT “NameKiiian Fonk”…my upcoming album “OZARU” will demonstrate this sound. If this feels good, stay tuned like a MUH FUH. 🔥🐨🔥
Dont forget...nobody, and I mean no one OWES us a listen. It's up to us to create art that Impacts someone enough that they MUST listen. Compell your audience emotionally, aesthetically and they will press replay. But we are never ENTITLED to listens. 🌸Earn Them🌸
I explored the new Koala Keyboard grid for the first time on this piece and came up with some really nice chords. Also back on my FLIP SHIT for this one. the Main drum break is from KEL C’s latest Sloppy Loops pack, ofcourse layered with my spices. OALA OALA GANG GANG🔥👑🐨👑🔥
I’m gonna make an EP called “Dilla’s Horn”….where every sound on every track is sampled from Dilla’s horn sample. It will be 5 tracks of all horn. No cap….
WHO READY FOR THAT NEXT TATZU TAPE? iVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED FiNDiNG MY OWN UNiQUE APPROACH TO THE BEAT HEADZ TRADiTiON OF THE “FLiP TAPE” i PROMiSE THiS ONE WiLL BE DiFFERENT 🌸🌸🐨🌸🌸. “GURU” COMiNG SOON
@montebooker
is the only modern producer to inspire me the same way I was impacted by FLYLO, RZA , DILLA and DOOM. When I say inspired…I don’t mean to copy…I mean encouraged me to find my own sound. Here I explored the Barbershop Cartoons folder in the new Monte Kit. 🔥
@lilbadsnacks
An instrumental composition can sometimes “say” way more than anything lyrically. Often the listener will be guided by the lyrics performed by a vocalist, whereas the pure feeling in a instrumental will be interpreted however the listener needs it to be for that moment in time.
🌸Artist, please don’t feel pressure to live up to the standards of an algorithm. Everyone is, which means you need to do what EVERYONE else is doing. I guarantee all your favorite artist who inspired you, did the exact opposite of everyone else. BE the HUMAN in a SEA of ZOMBiES
TATZU TIPZ: An approach to finding an interesting rich sound lies in the art of layering. Drums, samples, synths etc. Explore adding the right layers utilising EQ (TONE for the OALAZ),Pan,Velocity, and level. Filter when necessary 🌪🐨
“GURU” the first official release by TatzumaKiii since his Debut in 2021 Drops APRIL 5TH Exclusively on Bandcamp. This project is specifically for the heads. Its also is an exploration in my perspectives on Beat Culture
FiNALLiii BUiLDiNG the YouTube as we speak. It’s gonna be more focused on the creative side of Beat culture and craftsmanship. But on the koala end, I’ll be sharing workflow, my approach to performing LiVE w/iPad, and Remixing. Keep ya head on a swivel 👀
If you want to completely discombobulate an AI system, ask it to create “what music with rhythm sounds like without influence of the African Diaspora”….the shit will malfunction 🤷🏾🤷🏾🚶🏽

Side Note, This next project “GURU” pays tribute to RAS G, an absolute innovator in Electronic Music! In fact, I feel Ras G’s Birthday should be celebrated the same way we celebrate DiLLA and Nujabes Born Day. It was RAS’s perspective on Beat culture that inspired “GURU”

“SWiTCHLAKE” album all weekend. He’s hands down one of my FAVORiTE composers. All that inspiration made me make some crazy shit like this lol
@knxwledge
SOMETiMES THE CONCEPT OF “BEATS FOR BEATS SAKE” CONFUSES PEOPLE. WE ARE MORE CLOSELY RELATED TO ELECTRONiC MUSiC PRODUCERS THAN BEATMAKERS. THiS BEGAN iN THE EARLY 2000s LA BEAT SCENE. OFTEN THE iNSTRUMENTAL CAN EXPRESS SOMETHiNG LYRiCS NEVER COULD. -TAZU

sampling is my favorite art form. I’m really enjoying seeing everyone kill it in their own way and style. My sound is heavily influenced by Footwork, even when it’s not a juke beat.
