I think somebody was talking about Korea, bombing America or some shit.
So I'm like, "What the fuck do that sound like?"
Like if the world was just fucked up and you came outside into the world.
What do the year 2020 sound like?
Some of my beats tell stories.
This happens to be one of those beats that tells stories.
I have like, eight different styles.You hear some of the shit I did for Uzi, like “20
Min,” and it sound like some synthesized…
But this is a lineup of beats that I call and it has a name, it's “2020.”
Mosh pit heavy music, man.
A$AP Ferg, “New Level,” that's 2020.
Meek Mill, “Way Up,” that's 2020.
“Dark Knight Dummo,” that's 2020.
You know what I'm saying?
I was on Instagram Live when I made this beat, ma.\n. I made like two wack ass beats before
it, man they was talking shit.
They were like, "Oh man."
I was like "Man, y'all got me fucked up."
So if I make like three bullshit beats I'm going live because it'll make something hard
to me.
Sometimes I need a audience.
I got started on the beat man.
The first thing I do if I'm looking for something like I told you, we're in 2020.
I need something dark.
I need something to feel like, "Damn man, what the fuck happened?"
Like the eclipse just happened, something just happened.
I bring up VIP.
This is a program I like to use.
I’m a sound designer, and I put together these sounds.
When you hear something like this, it's not just one sound from one VST.
It's like five or six VST's that I put together to make this one sound.
It just feel like you just woke up in the morning and damn, like the sun rising.
It's gonna be a aight type of day, you know what I'm saying?
You ain't even ready for the destruction.
The 808 come in.
This is the shit right here, the destruction part.
Like damn, some shit going down, so there's like a bomb.
Like a...
After you got the 808, and the sunrise shit, you gotta hit the clap.
That’s the tempo of it right now.
So you know, you got your day started.
Something is happening.
You got the 808 and you got the clap.
And now you moving with it.
Now I got this.
So you got the hi-hats, and then after that you gotta put the kick in there on top of
the 808.
And the kick is like an unorthodox type of kick.
The way that the kick hits in between the bass, the bass hit one, and then the kick
come in.
So it’s like a march.
You outside, the sun's gonna rise but it's a bloody sun you don't know what's finna happen.
You outside.
Now you walking.
Now as you’re walking, something happens.
You might see some bombs flying out of the sky.
What the fuck do that sound like?
This is what it sounds like when bombs coming out of the sky.
What the 808 do?
If you look up to the sky it's like...
Bombs dropping.
You like "Man what the fuck?”
So what you doing after you hear the bombs dropping?
You running.
You not supposed to be sitting still when that come on.
If you sitting still, you’re an asshole.
The last part of the strings with the strings, that's like a victory lap.
Back in the day when you listened to classical music, that music told stories.
People'll go listen to classical music.
It would be no fucking words, but everybody know what the fuck is going on through the
music.
I've never heard of Trippie Redd's music before.
My homebody was telling me "Hey man, you need to fuck with Trippie Redd."
"The kids fuck with him. You know they fuck with him."
Trippie Redd's melodies is hard.
“Count my guap! Count my guap!”
Like that’s hard.
My nephew, that’s all he say through the house every day.
"Count my guap! Count my guap!"
Yeah I like the beat but it’s, “Count my guap! Count my guap!”
Alright you got it man.
I want this to feel like a person don't give a fuck about selling a record.
I want it to feel like "Hey man, I ain't never heard this before.”
When people listen to my shit, it’s just not like, “Okay. I’m finna get a C.N.O.T.E."
"beat so I know what that’s gonna sound like."
Fuck that.
No.
You’re not gonna know what it’s gonna sound like.
I wanna raise the bar.
That’s what I wanna do.
I don’t wanna fit in.
I want people to feel the struggle that came from just tryna create that sound.
It’s a lot of emotion in that type of music, and I think it translate well into the crowd.
They feel it.
Y’all cut it and make it look good.
Don’t make this shit look boring man.
Put me in a motherfuckin’...the sun rising.
Yeah.
Put the sunrise.
A red fucking sun.
Yeah that shit is rising.
Something finna happen.
It’s Armageddon.
