JB’s got nothing but love for The Answer, which is why the producer/songwriter wholeheartedly agreed to partner with Reebok for the release of the blue/white Question Low, which you can cop exclusively at Finish Line. The die-hard Sixers fan says he tries to play at least once a month.Īnd like many (if not all) Sixers fans who grew up during the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, Jahlil’s favorite player of all-time is Allen Iverson. On top of that, Jahlil says he’s prepping for a NYC concert with Skrillex on Halloween. Though he’s in the lab constantly, Jahlil still finds time for basketball, which he loves nearly as much as music. He’s also busy crafting his own album (he’s already released 16 mixtapes), a compilation joint set to feature a plethora of big names. Recently, Jahlil has been cooking up material for The Game’s album Documentary 2, Meek’s mixtape Dreamchasers 4 (he also produced his Drake diss, “Wanna Know”) and Vic Mensa’s album Traffic. When he’s not on the road performing and making beats in other cities, JB says he puts in work almost every day at his private home studio located atop an arcade on Delaware Ave in Philly. “I like to just spot up in the corner and shoot.”
Though Jahlil pulls for his fellow PA guys, he explains his own game most closely resembles that of Reggie Miller. NBA players Tyreke Evans, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Jameer Nelson all grew up in Chester. You made music or you played basketball.” But JB has a different description of the place that shaped him. They’ve supplied the streets with narratives such as “Tony Story” (later turned into a book) and anthems such as “Amen” and “Monster.”Ĭhester is a working class town about 10 minutes outside of Philadelphia. Since then, Jahlil and Meek’s partnership has only grown stronger. The two developed special chemistry in the studio, which led to the creation of hits such as 2011’s “Ima Boss” with Rick Ross and 2012’s “Burn” featuring Big Sean. The 27-year-old Chester, Pennsylvania native got his start in 2008 after dropping out of college and linking with then-up-and-coming emcee Meek Mill.
JAHLIL BEATS PRODUCER CRACK
Before the beat drops, before Shmurda lets us know he’s been selling crack since he was a pre-teen, and before a listener hits the mandatory Shmoney dance, Jahlil Beats’ name is on the record. Roc Nation’s Jahlil Beats created his chef-d’oeuvre in 2014 with Bobby Shmurda’s “Hot N****,” on which JB’s three-year-old niece marks the first vocal appearance on the song with the all-too-familiar “Jahlil Beats, holla at me” tag. Still, the names of the illest beatmakers in the game are sometimes hard to avoid.Ī production tag on a hip-hop instrumental is akin to a painter’s signature on a work of art.
JAHLIL BEATS PRODUCER FREE
And that’s generally where they feel most comfortable-behind the soundproofed walls of their studios, unbothered and free to do what they do best: make music. Best thing Hov can do for Cole was to let him be his own man.Rap producers have long been behind-the-scenes. If you were built on the reputation of your label head you either have to outshine your label head (Drake) or be completely different from your label head (B.o.B., Nicki) otherwise if the label head gets hemmed up, dies or you have a falling out you are gone as well because you were living off the cosign not a real fan base (State Prop, Bleek). Let him tour and build a loyal fan base that gave him the biggest debut of any of the XXL freshmen. Cole got the opportunity to find his own sound and feel his way through without the ever looming shelf or axe. You say Drake lost it because he was running around on Wayne type records but he was on 99% of these records WITH Wayne. Y’all dog Wale for hopping on Ross type beats but he’s on 99% of these records WITH Ross. I show you I’m with you by providing you the opportunity, resources and letting you cook.
Do Clive, Lyor and Jimmy Iovine come down and do the song and dance for all of their artists? Nope.
JAHLIL BEATS PRODUCER FULL
Jay is running Roc Nation like a full fledged record label not one of these smaller imprints. Cashe of the Surf Club which is one guy who works with Hitboy who signed to G.O.O.D. Also it’s Chase & Status a production duo that is signed to Roc Nation not Chase N.
Steady bread is a godsend early on because those placements can be few and far between. That’s how Just Blaze and Kanye came up same with Swizz. You can still do outside work but it’s a given most of your work will be in house.
If you are an in house producer you have a steady paycheck and usually your points on the album. Not sure if it’s a management deal or a producer deal like No I.D.
