What’s Good Fam? Today I wanted to talk about the stress that may occur when posting content. Trying to keep up with trends, post that don’t perform well and even ones that do perform well. After awhile, posting on social media could cause fatigue and get to the point where you&#39;re not having fun doing what you love. It’s good to notice when your energy switches up.

What’s Good Fam? The other day I was just thinking about how the game has changed for producers. Back in the day, you kept all of your secrets and formulas of production to yourself to keep others from biting your style. Now in the information age, it’s common practice to show behind the scenes or give tips on how you create. I think for producers, Ryan Leslie was one of the pioneers as far as letting everyone see his process and it was very successful. So I just wanted to give flowers to him for helping pave the way in how we as producers currently get recognized for what we do through content creation. I thank you for listeningPeace.

What’s Good Fam? Today wanted to give a few Beat Tape ideas. These could be for a producer making their first beat tape or a producer who might want to change up the theme of their next project. Pretty much all 17 of my projects have a certain theme to them which helps keep the beat tape process more interesting for me. If you have any idea suggestions, or themes you have on your own projects, please share in the comments. Im always interested in the creative ways of other producers. I thank you for listeningPeace.

Whats Good Fam? Today I wanted to share some things that I learned from making my last two Beat EPs (Drizzzy: Black Gold and Drizzzy: White Gold). These are my first two full projects using acapellas from the same artist so I had a different approach. You can find both projects on my Bandcamp page and the link will be in the description as well. Let me know what y’all think. I thank you for listeningPeace.

What’s good Fam? This week I wanted to talk about the importance of getting rest as a producer. Sometimes we tend to ignore the signals when our bodies get tired and that can have a negative effect on our production. But there is nothing wrong with taking some time away to rest and recharge. Plus in the end, your body and your beats will thank you for it. I thank you for listeningPeace.

What’s Good Fam? Today I wanted to talk about being in the zone as producer. You know when you get on a roll making beats and everything you’re working on is just on point?! That’s kind of how I’ve been feeling lately and I’m just grateful. Because I definitely know what it’s like to be on the other side of that. Not fun at all. What side are you on right now with your production? In the Zone or in a Drought???

What’s Good Fam? Today I wanted to do a little exposing of myself and get into my strengths and weaknesses as a producer/beatmaker. I decided to touch on the things I’m good at, what I have improved on and what I can get better at. I think it’s always good to take some time and reflect on how far you’ve come and where you still want to go as a producer. What are some of your strengths and weaknesses as a producer???

What’s Good Fam? Today I wanted to talk about a very important producer question. What comes first, the Drums or the Melody. I mentioned this briefly in a previous episode and I just wanted to expand on it a bit more from my personal experience. My question for you is which do you preferrer to start with? Drums, Melodies or both?  I thank you for listeningPeace. <a href="https://dotisthename.bandcamp.com/music" rel="nofollow">Bandcamp: https://dotisthename.bandcamp.com/</a>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dotisthename/Tic Tok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dotisthename?lang=en" rel="nofollow">https://www.tiktok.com/@dotisthename?lang=en</a>Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/dotisthename" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/dotisthename</a>

Whats Good Fam? Today I wanted to talk about the connection you can have with your own music or beats. I think one of the most important things you can do is make music for yourself first. As long as you think it sounds good and you’re not afraid to express that, everything else will fall into place. The further you get into your journey, don’t forget to always connect to your music and stay in tuned with your passion for it. BIG FACTS!!!

What’s Good Fam? On todays episode I wanted to talk about some of my beat formulas. I‘ve been producing music for over twenty five years now, and during certain time periods I find that I’ll follow a certain pattern when it comes how I make my beats. All of us producers have our own methods on how we produce our beats from start to finish. What are some of your methods or formulas when making beats? I thank you for listening Peace.

What’s good Fam? Today I wanted to talk about a goal I set for myself and that is to have 50 beat tapes/EPs/projects in my discography. I ran through some of my influences and the thought process behind this decision and will be documenting the process along the way. Can’t wait to share this journey with you all.

What’s good family? Today I wanted to talk about the tools in your Producer Toolbox. In other words the tools or techniques that you may have pick up over time on your journey as a producer.
