Ramon "!llmind" Ibanga Jr. is a 2x Grammy Winning/10x Grammy Nominated multi-platinum music producer who's worked with artists such as Kanye West, J Cole, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce & Jay-Z, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Romeo Santos, Lin Manuel Miranda (Hamilton + Moana) 2 Chainz & many more. He is the founder of "Blap-Kits", a series of "beat-making" tools available for music producers which eventually helped pioneer the now multi-million dollar per year "drum kit & sound pack" industry. As a consistent advocate and voice in the music production world, his weekly podcast "Illmind Put The Loop On" boasted a die-hard music producer driven following, including industry special guests such as Boi-1da, Murda Beatz, Ryan Leslie, Russ, Brian Michael Cox and many more. He is also known for traveling to various cities, bringing together up-coming music creators in "secret studio locations" to network, vibe, play music & engage in their creative community.
In 2021, Illmind introduced a new side to his business by engaging with WEB3. He released the first ever "sample pack NFT" which sold for 4.5 ETH ($9,000 at the time) and sent a shockwave in the industry, built a metaverse recording studio (for VR meet ups) and launched his coveted pfp project Squad Of Knights NFT, boasting collectors/members such as Gary Vee, Rob Markman, Altcoin Daily and many web2/web3 industry vets.

Great story about how things come together! And also shows that a 4 bar loop can sometimes hold its own.

[@IllMindproducer]

Exactly!

[@GlacierSound]

@@IllMindproducer I remember back on blap podcast your co host was tryna shit on 4 bar loops and you were like nah it works sometimes.

[@Reggi_Sample]

Network, people, network. And keep at it

[@UrbanNoizeMusic]

It also a great lesson in how well you treat people in life. Regardless of their positioning. Because it ultimately takes you a long way.

[@PsalmsPoetic]

I used to work with Ill Mind back in Harlem from "06 to '08 I believe, and I remember how he used to stress craft and consistency to the kids there. He hated the negative attitudes, and the lack of belief that the kids would sometimes express. He would tell them to get better at what you do, stay consistent and those opportunities will find you. It's good to see he manifested what he believed.

[@IllMindproducer]

Wow! Felt like a whole lifetime ago. Thanks for bringing this up. It was such an honor to work with you guys and I learned so much too. Good to hear from u!

[@PsalmsPoetic]

​@@IllMindproducer Yes indeed my brother, it does feel like a lifetime ago. Some of the children we used to teach now have children. lol... thanks for responding and congrats on all that you have achieved.
