Yes I would love that!!

Bro, that guitar melody is so sick, maybe you can do a more in-depth tutorial on things like that

[@JRent506]

Thanks man. I don't know what I'd say about it though honestly. It mostly just comes from my head. I think of a certain melody and just create it by clicking in notes

[@alesturon502]

well I can also make a melody in my head but I am not able to recreate it

[@kulak166]

@@JRent506 the guitar melody reminds me of the Banished soundtrack, it's such a cool soundtrack for a great game

[@carrilloazael92]

@@JRent506 bro it's a must I use this beat, where can I get lease from because I have a russ voice maybe I can make it blow up ☠💯 really tho, id love to lease beat

[@alangallarcon9254]

Just pull out ghost notes. Notice the doc said for this melody it’s gonna me E flat minor I believe he said so just grab the midi fill it up with notes and quantize them in whatever scale you want like example “E flat minor” then go off your imagination and make a melody along those working notes that are highlighted

[@JordyBoyMadeIt]

Is anyone else low key impressed with his lyrics in every type beat he makes lol

[@cubensiswtf]

Night lovell type beat Great video

[@driesverhaag8955]

This is amazingggg. Russ has been my "most listened to" artist for the last 2 years and no doubt he will do it too this year

[@JRent506]

Thanks man!

[@giulio2652]

What about a Dr Dre type beat??

[@KrissyGabagool]

Dont dislike the vid tho is this guy the real russ? No

[@KrissyGabagool]

Ay thanks for the heart

[@driesverhaag8955]

Also, I can agree on the fact that though he might seem a bit cocky, his music has really got something it, talent is the right word

[@swssws14]

J. rent always got the best tutorials

[@JRent506]

thanks man

[@paulwanjira45]

i have no idea who russ is, but if he makes such amazing songs, I will definitely check him out. please finish the song and upload it as an individual video. its so good i wanna put it on replay..

[@sreejishnair5922]

Two thing was dope, one your vocal delivery man you did something different with your vocals this time, second was that guitar, that was awesome your still one of the dope artist man

[@JRent506]

I appreciate that, thanks man

[@tylerbeavan9000]

It would be good to hear you making full beats just rapping on them, your flow is insane and lyrics to fit any vibe! Nice work bro!

[@JRent506]

Thanks man

[@CorSolus]

Oh my GOD that shit is fire that intro drop in gave me chills great job It would be super dope if you could do a how to Quadeca really talented artist

[@JRent506]

Thanks man, and yeah I've checked out a few of his videos, might have to do that

[@mrsnow367]

God: how much talent you want? J. Rent: yes

[@lyando6363]

OMG THANK U SO MUCH! I was looking for a russ tutorial and now I got it from the best teacher ever thank u for all the effort you put into the videos I really appreciate it. Love from germany

[@JRent506]

thanks man

[@fatemusic9062]

Another amazing video as always! I think this one you really hit the nail on the head especially with the lyricism and style. In the future, a Shy Glizzy tutorial would be dope af! Keep up the good work man you're killing it!

The closest I will ever come to listening to a russ song

I'm a simple man. I see J. Rent, I click.

I really liked your flow on this beat. You did good J! Buuuut, where is the City Morgue song?

[@JRent506]

Thanks man, and I don't know, everything takes time, need that inspiration

[@giezis483]

Bro that melody is amazing! Nice video.

im gonna say it again this man is super underrated hope u blow up try making ur music ur awesome bud

[@JRent506]

I appreciate it, thanks man

[@SamirDoesGaming]

No one: J. Rent: I added this clap...*clap*

[@driesverhaag8955]

Lastly, i liked the music but this time I REALLY just noticed all the comparisons between this and his tracks. Analizing and recreating sound flow and feeling is difficult, still you do it amazingly well. Amazing work dude (Also... this song wouldn't be complete without The "mix master and produced by Russ" part)

[@JRent506]

I appreciate it man, I did find it quite hard to rap like him

[@dinovog]

Can you also show us how you mix and make your vocals sound good as well?

[@JRent506]

I made a vocal mixing tutorial a while back. I do it the same as I did it in that tutorial, except I no longer put a limiter on my vocals

[@arbo8018]

But... did you produce beats for people who want to use them or did you really produce only for this videos? They are very good, I would not mind use one of them, even if i'm not as much good

[@JRent506]

The beat from this video is uploaded here: soundcloud.com/soundlab_official/russ-type-beat-watercolors-144bpm I upload the beats from these tutorials occasionally. Sometimes I get sidetracked and don't do it right away (or at all). Just put (Prod. J. Rent) in the song title if you upload the song, good luck!

[@arbo8018]

@@JRent506 Thank you for the info and congratulations!

[@phillipnormann1319]

The finished version sounds so great man, a mixing and leveling tutorial would be much appreciated. Keep it up 🔥

that's hilarious I was expecting the worst but you really nailed the lyrics/vocals. I could already hear the chorus with russ vocals coming up.

[@beatsbyswae2414]

Incredible... this is very inspirational.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥 dope video as always, big up

[@JRent506]

I appreciate it, thanks man

[@yellowflash5123]

quick question: besides practice, how did u learn to do all that you do now? would like to know where to start my journey on music production to make beats such as this

[@JRent506]

I think the biggest thing that helped me learn music production quickly was that I kept a notebook where I would write down anything I learned. I wrote down different chord progressions, music theory, random stuff about FL studio, etc. It's useful to have something like that. If you don't write something useful down, but you slightly remember it, you're going to have to waste time trying to remember where you heard it and tracking it down again. If all your knowledge is stored in a notebook, you'll know exactly where to look and it'll save a ton of time. You don't have to commit everything to memory at that point. Our brains only retain a fraction of what we learn when we're just starting out (i think it's like 20% or something, but don't quote me on that because I don't remember)

[@yellowflash5123]

J. Rent thank you so much, after I saw your vids I starting creating my own beats and trying to learn as much while practicing..I even took a music theory class but there are some things I see you do I’m still trying to understand..I’ll get myself a notebook and get to writing, thank you very much for replying, love your videos!🙏🏼

[@j.b9614]

Wow jeez you rly stepping up your game with every new video:D good one, keep em coming

Russ should hit u up for a collab tho ;)

[@9DMBEATS]

Dope as always 👍

[@JRent506]

Thank you

[@cristianrivera8486]

I wonder if J. Rent would be into collabing with Simon Servida. I think their personalities would clash humorously and make a hella dope track.

[@Uchawibeatz]

Amazingly well done! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@JRent506]

Thank you

[@nishuchakrapani135]

Personally liked the guitar melody with less effects but it still sounded amazing

[@JRent506]

Thanks, yeah I was trying to make it sound more like a sample because Russ tends to sample and I couldn't find any samples in that style that I liked. But maybe it would have just been better if I left it alone lol

[@KidNavi]

Hey man do u think I can use this beat and be inspired by the lyrics u do in this video to make a song?

[@JRent506]

Yeah just give me credit by putting (Prod. J rent) in the song title, the beat is linked in the description

[@juanvlemmix]

Maybe you could ad time stamps in the description for the ones that only come for the melody or the final result, great video as always though!

[@wayland8100]

Better than russ. This is really good man

[@princeraghuwanshi5865]

Apparently, Russ is not the only one who can mix, master and produce his shit. Best part, You don't need to brag about it 🔥

[@JRent506]

Lol yeah, I think he just mentions it over and over again as a branding thing. It's his Unique Selling Proposition. In an industry where ghost writers/ghost producers run rampant, it's a refreshing prospect for some people and I can see how it can give the impression that his work is more authentic, since it's all him. But I suppose it can also have the opposite effect and turn people off if it's perceived as bragging

[@alancrapo2881]

I never would have thought to layer high hats, but it sounds good.

[@futzlol]

glad to see someone who may not like Russ but at least respects him and his hustle 🙌🏻🔥
