Hit-Boy: How to get the Perfect Drum Bounce, Making “Sicko Mode” w/Travis Scott, Working with Kanye

[@DJ.PANDASTL]

Working @ my 9-5 right now and these podcasts help me so much getting me though my end to go home and make beats

[@tre4rado512]

Bruuuh mee too! I wanna walk away from this 9-5 so bad. Oneday tho

[@soblessedpopz]

@@tre4rado512 defiantly gotta do this music stuff right ‘ in order to do that .

[@dozhadeville444]

Man find a way to quit that bullsht! God didn't make u to be a worker bru, find your purpose and fulfill it.

[@crystalgems_]

True the grind is real

[@beatsbydommy]

fuck ya dude drop that fire! this interview did the same shit for me!

[@DrummerAndyTaiwan]

He answered all the questions right off the bat without any nonsense BS, his mind is very clear and sharp man, what a legend! Great interview! Love from Taiwan 🇹🇼

[@djcuda]

Dope! I’m in Laos 🇱🇦

[@beatsbydommy]

Well said. This comment is so0o0o 100%!

[@americanskeptic1559]

He didn't answer the question about drum bounce

[@carlosipkiss]

@@americanskeptic1559 I would say he covered that in the "explore genres" section, and when he said to use different sounds to create drums.

[@americanskeptic1559]

@@carlosipkiss that's not it

[@NeekRusher]

Hit boy definitely showed clarity of who he is as a music producer. One part that stood out to me was when he said he grab inspiration from any and everywhere. It could be records or KZbin if it’s hot it’s getting chopped. He didn’t say that, but as a beat maker/music producer myself I know exactly what he means. Salute good interview.

[@Midwestmadeoff]

This gotta be the most humblest and honest interview I've seen from a producer. Salute💯💯

[@tomcbeatz]

I'm glad Hit Boy talked about the importance of expanding and exploring many styles and genres on here. Producer Grind tends to be overly biased towards FL Studio and a lot of Trap beats that sound the same. IMO Not to knock it but, I think it's important to use the reach and influence that you've built in the producer community to expand and push the evolution of music through your audience, respectfully. ✌🏽

[@HecstrumentalsBeats]

All them juice wrld tracks that he made the beats to that are unreleased are legendary and will live forever 💯

[@LaynoProd]

been waiting for this interview, glad to see it thru thank you Producergrind and Hit-Boy so many gems and inspiration in this for producers and artists 🙏🏽💎📝

Shoutout Layno 🙌🏽

[@onetimelife1]

Hitboy a real one 🔥🔥🔥

[@LedgerLiner]

I don't know who this. I just skipped to a part where he can't name 1 more synth except for omni stuff. And talks how HIS KEYBOARD PLAYER came up with sicko. a real one - fosho

[@dmvnation202]

@@LedgerLiner he did Nas last 4 albums.

[@LedgerLiner]

@@dmvnation202 his instrumentalists play in and come up with harmonies and melodies; beat is mixed by 3 people, mastered by 2 more; he ain't design no 808 that he (maybe) dragged under; what "HE DID" bro? drugs in the studio and sign n ggs ...? nobody really knows none of us fosho

[@martinwalters8677]

​@@LedgerLiner He do mostly sample chops. Most of his popular placements are sampled beats in fact

nah this is crazy , i legitimately typed “Hit-Boy Producer Grind” yesterday and nothing came up and I was like :/. but now i’m like 😮🤠🔥😂

[@dq9758]

Thanks to HitBoy for this and thanks to producer grind for really killing it lately.

[@beatsbymusichead]

"...Rookie of The Year Every Year." The thought behind that TB Digital line has 200 IQ written all over it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 No need to break it down, but damn just the thought of being constantly hungry to learn and improve amid having huge success is powerful!!! 💪🏿💪🏿 Big ups to hit forever dishing out the gospel and what many might consider the secret sauce (and keep it within instead of sharing it with the community aspiring for greatness)! Lastly, great work Team PG!

[@madzondemand]

it's crazy that every goat producer is saying you really gotta study the artists you wna work with , real major key

[@kaadik0924]

One thing I learned from this is that you don't need every plugin or hardware synth. Pharrell said it best when he was saying that it's okay to not know everything. That's what other producers and musicians are for. Collaboration!!! Collaboration!! Fuck with people who are in your realm!!

[@_masterofnone_]

P’s a goat! Where’d he say that?

[@ErickRodriguez-pd6gk]

I am not a pro with beats and I know I won´t ever be, but that´s not my goal, at this point making beats is just therapy.

[@MakerMontez]

getting Hit-Boy the LEGEND is major! Can't wait to see who pops out next.

[@mabonthebeat]

Producer grind never misses, best producer podcast ever

[@remidibeatz8780]

Love Love LOVE the fact they asked TRUE producer questions from a technical standpoint. Great interview!💯

[@remidibeatz8780]

@Kr∑th He did, just not in depth. He told u what he uses but as far as how he uses them he didnt. Still, most interviewers don't ask those types of questions and I wouldn't expect him to cough up all his secrets then others will start sounding like him.

[@PhilupxBanks]

Hit might be favorite producer all time - every style, raps and not scared to step out the box

[@Klatyno256]

I like that hitboy speaks his mind he dont have no filter we know travis and drakr would never have told us abt

[@melttheproducer]

Yall have been killing these. This was a BANGER. Fast, Clean, Simple, and Effective. Full of Gems. Keep it up! any SXSW Meet Ups????

At this pound i think hitboy on top of all producers like he has song you dont even imagine

[@dmvnation202]

I enjoyed this. My only knock is that on this interview the questions were too generic.

[@beatsbymusichead]

Just an observation and suggestion... It might have been super dope to have Hit-Boy sit on the couch TB is sitting on. That way Hit-Boy would have line of sight to both TB & Mimi ( I hope I got her name correct) without having to turn his head... with that said, keep up the amazing work!!!

[@Homieonice]

Bruh I got a funny Hit-Boy story, I’m doing security at the time at the hard rock hotel, Nas is set to perform. So Hit-Boy walk in and I notice, I got full on access to talk to the boy. I went up and said “I know this ain’t the right time”(it was thee PERFECT time to approach him) so I continued and said “I’m a producer too, I only do security on the side of engineering to make up rent for my studio in Brooklyn, I would like to have you come through so I can play some stuff for you sometime” that nigga hit boy wanna say some “oh word, just hit my IG” like if he gone see my message among the 700,000 people following him. That shit got me sick son

[@carsculture4400]

Rule #1 build a relationship first...you just thought because you said "I'm a producer too" Hit-Boy was gonna pull up to your place?? AND you're now sick because he didn't? Please explain why a Grammy award winning, legendary multi-plat producer (who's from tha streets) is gonna pull up to a strangers house just because they said "I'm a producer too"? And let me guess, you got some fire beats that's gonna do what for Hit? I'm from Dena and know plenty of Hitboy's ppl (like A. Bellez) and still wouldn't approach him like you did. I'd offer some value to him, like "Hey, I work security here but I luv ya work can I get you a drink on me or anything else you need?" "BuildARelationshipFirst
