I just make music based off of how I feel
at the time.
Just like how someone can write a song and
feel this certain way.
I'm just making music based off of how I feel
or like a feeling I want to put out there.
When I was making the beat, Purpp was like,
"Oh, this shit is so hard."
"This shit is so hard.”
Right when I was done, he went in the booth
and made the song.
And we got a hit.
So we went to the studio and there’s a bunch
of people.
We had some girls and like a bunch of people
in the studio.
Everyone was like vibing.
We were playing music and shit and then I
was like “fuck it.”
And just like pulled up a sample, chopped
it up and then just started adding drums.
Everyone’s like “This shits hard."
"This shits hard.”
He went in the booth and told the engineer
to mute the beat and not play it.
So everyone’s conversating and shit.
Nah, I told him to mute it out loud so nobody
could hear it.
Everyone’s like talking, conversating and
partying in the studio and shit and he was
recording it in the booth the whole time.
And he just came out and played it and everyone
like lost their minds.
It was just hitting hard.
It wasn’t like an overdone beat so it was
just like the perfect beat that matched my style.
My buddy, Rasool, he found the sample and
flipped it in the studio.
So this is the sample.
He chopped it up and like reversed it into
this.
Right when I heard that, I'm like "Whoa!"
Pulled that shit up and then I just fucked
it up.
The way I did the drums is normally how I
do all my drums.
I have all percussion and the different high
hats hitting at different times to fill in
the beat.
So the drums is pretty simple.
Like, the beginning of the drums is this which
is a snare.
It's on like different timing than like people
would normally use it.
All the drums are ... the way I did them is
I did them all kind of like offset.
So if you hear the drum solo, it sounds maybe
off to the average listener but then altogether
it all just like catches itself.
Then I have this high hat.
Kind of like skipping.
The Murda chant.
Like the 808s in this beat are kind of more
like riding.
It’s going crazy.
It’s not just like a simple pattern.
If you were just to play the 808, you probably
like couldn't catch a groove to it.
But then when you're playing it with everything,
it just sounds like fire.
At the beginning of the verse, I took out
some drums because it adds more suspense for
when the verse comes in.
Like a little two bar break and then the drums
drop in at the beginning of the verse.
I feel like that gets people amped and wants
them mosh at shows and stuff.
We posted this snippet when we first made
it.
It went viral on the Internet.
So when I was playing it on the road, everyone
already knew it.
I’ve never had that happen to any other
song.
His beats are fire and they’re like not
overdoing it.
There’s like a lot of producers that overdo
shit.
Like I think it’s more about making sure
that it sounds good and shit like that.
It’s like a very aggressive song.
Like I want people to mosh pit in clubs that
people don’t mosh pit in when you hear this song.
song.
