[@jamesdonnelly5083]

The second half is one of 6ix's top five beats ever

[@N2DaMusic1]

This beat is so dope! It reminds me of the good old Hiphop days. Pete Rock, Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, J Dilla etc.

[@AwareOfficial]

6ix is such a cool and calm guy man.. I can imagine talking with him about everything and it would never be boring. His voice is soothing and relaxing haha would love to battle him in Mario Kart :D 6ix is the best producer in my opinion. Real G!

[@BUBBA808]

YSIV is one of logic’s best🙌🏼🔥

[@Majickbeats]

Wow just watching these back and realised Six uses the same MIDI keyboard as me haha. Really interesting breakdowns on these!

Everytime I see sum that say 6ix I don’t click on it cuz I get it confused with 6ix9ine and 6ix9ine is garbage

[@runelsie7454]

Bingham_ 26 6ix is Logic’s producer though lol

[@runelsie7454]

Bingham_ 26 69 is trash I agree

[@BryanRodriguez-uv6mb]

Bingham_ 26 I can relate

[@3gkxngston420]

6ix9ine < Logic

[@rajkandhari2745]

Love 6ix but idk why he said those key's were from Kev when they are from splice

[@carterbelfort1552]

That sample is from splice, I don't think he played that melody...still amazing producer and song though. Much love Rattpack!

[@austinwright4445]

Be Out of Focus nah he said his man kev played the melody. So I bet kev heard it on splice and tried his hand at playing it

[@m-chopbeats7526]

Reminds me of dead presidents Jay Z

[@devinblack20]
