    So... My song will be on some bbc radio station in a couple hours?

    Ha ha yeah. The main rapper MC Free arranged it. Silverfinger turned up at the studio in the Uni one day and did his thing. I think he's got a cool flow. Wish I'd kept doing stuff like that and kept networking but got distracted with other things in life.

    Congrats @Armani. Particularly the beer part! Weird connection here, saw that pic of the silverfinger Singh bloke and recognised him. Pretty sure he did a verse on one of my tracks back in 2006/7 when I was at Uni in Leeds and making a mixtape with a local rapper. He was really good even then...

    Beat This! - June 29-30, 2021

    Really would've liked to join this one but on holiday. Damn shame cos I love reggae + hip hop. NWA 'Alwayz Into Something' is still one of my fave beats of all time. I feel us UK boys have the edge in this. Gonna get back to the hotel and have a listen to the beats. There better be fire if I'm...

    Warzone Beat Battle - June 25-26, 2021

    I can't make this one either. Didn't want to rush the beats and half arse it. Good luck to all!

    Here's a nice quick breakdown of a top rap beat

    This totally. I usually layer a couple of snares but that's about it. Maybe two kicks sometime. That DAW looks so busy and makes me cringe. I fell into the trap of overprocessing and over time realised good sound selection is better. I mean who has the time to spend half a day searching for...

    Modern Music's Death By Auto-Tune

    Another Rick Beato fan! I love this dude, he's so talented. Will watch this. Just watched his 'Kiss from a Rose' WMTSG. Was awesome and he actually had Seal on it!

    Careful mate you start using them FM synths and you might accidentally make a dubstep track

    Mind blown. Will go back and listen again. I just thought you added on some chiptune synths to make it 'experimental'. Beat was tight af though.

    I voted for @2GooD Productions song definitely had that 90s vibe made me want to dance. @prod.bysicksiah was a close second, also drenched in 90s goodness. Liked the @K-waz beat too, I swear I once made a track with a similar chord progression to that - never released it tho just a coincidence...

    @Pappas Beats - congrats mate real smooth and sexy! Damn came so close but stoked to be runner up! Was looking forward to this one as I have a bit of a soft spot for 90s swing / R&B. Will do a bit more of a round up later after work.

    I enjoyed this comp as I had time off work so sat in a sunny beer garden with me headphones and listened to all this music. So many good tracks and was really feeling them in the sunshine. Sorry I can't comment on all, but I enjoyed everything. These were thoughts and highlights for me...

    Nice beat like the chill vibe and guitar sound. You should change up the drum pattern a bit. Like have bits where the kick drops out, bits where there's no drums and maybe do some filtering on the drum bus.

    Who/How/What To Study Regarding Music Production

    I started off being inspired by musicians and trying to emulate them. Its good to do that for a while as you learn how other people put things together. Ultimately you want to graduate past that but everyone does it. I think the most important thing is putting in the hours. Being consistent...

    Drake...

    Lol asking this question is like pulling the pin on a grenade! He's always been a pop R&B crossover so can't really call him hip hop. Around 2015 he started trying to do more hip hop and sound tough. Around 2017 he started trying to co-opt British grime which was really silly. I do rate 40 as...
