[@chesstaylor]

Thank you for having me sing!!

[@rilum97]

@Chess Taylor what do you think of my songs? Greetings from Germany :)

[@RapFanMan1]

Good luck fam!! Loved your voice so much❤️🙏🏻

[@bve299]

I got a question. How is it easiest to start to learn to sing. If it's just practice how long did it take you to become so talented like you are lol. But great job in the video your voice is so awesome

[@Kaosbeats0121]

Feel like you wanted more then just drill so ocean do some research on aurora her type of music is unique and should be a challenge for u

[@DWF_GRIND]

DWF 21 seconds ago Beats please! - delete if you need to ;).

[@dandk_]

I like how you let her down gently when you told her it was going to be drill lol

[@Prodbyculture]

😂

[@deroneomas]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@ProdByAV_YT]

😂😂😂😂 shawty was like with all this nice production you do RAP! 😢 😭😭😭

[@RiccoSpxc3]

Ya dude...even I was disappointed i didn't want it to be a drill beat tho....

[@jhallibeats]

Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 was thinking same

[@friendsintheweb]

lmaoooo the dissapointement in her face when she starts hearing it turning into drill hahah

[@1200foreign]

On bob 😂

[@kar5h01]

Hahahha Exactlyy

[@prodbyzapz]

😂😂🙈

[@willleeper3439]

Same

[@CenrelianGuardsmen]

That’s what I was thinking the entire time, needed a thir person there to be like “eh mate, that’s dogshit innit.” Turned something unique into something generic and a pain on my eardrums

[@rishabhmishra98]

bro got an opera singer only to drown her in 70% reverb 😭😭

[@kyleeasy1250]

Nah man 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@toku30]

😂 LMAO

[@uptownsymphonies91.2fm2]

[@suthishofficial]

True he always does that you can only hear his bass after completing

[@ch3ckm8]

lol she barely did anything

[@maxlu4541]

I like how Ocean doesnt waste any time with intros or anyhing and jumps straight to the point

[@justhostelthings2984]

She definitely didn't like the idea of Drilling her voice😂

[@skyesbeats1418]

😂😂

[@f00kwhiteblackracismwarsh07]

She was like what? What the fuck is this? 😂

[@superproducer247]

I knew it was gone be drill before watching the video

[@fuegofrvr]

Fr😅

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

Ah yes, drilling her... voice

[@sdeondotson]

She is so talented and she was able to get the vibes quickly…

[@lukemaxwell6302]

Two completely different talents blended together into a masterpiece. I love the creativity.

[@BargedIn]

A true musician can use their talent for any means

[@phaedra8654]

Calling it talent would Not do justice to their Hard work. Because it‘s Nothing else.

[@schulbullglc1494]

some notes she does just almost made me cry for real, im impressed

[@Mine8maniak]

angel voice!

[@claudedottin1312]

Bruh as a tear was about to fall I see this comment

[@snakejuce]

@@claudedottin1312 😭😭💀

[@mudhamartin1162]

so true bruv cept i didn't cry i ejaculated but I suppose that's the same as crying just from another body part aeeee

[@taichoubob5735]

Haha this man is savage, freaking opera singer sings perfect notes, first thing he whips out is Autotune lmao

[@yellow_flash813]

🤣🤣

[@enzeebeatz3077]

Lmao

[@Lonzology]

That pretty insulting not even gon lie. But sadly that's what today's generation are obessed with.

[@f00kwhiteblackracismwarsh07]

Never do that in font on a singer/rapper 😂

[@IggyBlob]

he used autotune like you would any other effect, he didn't pitch correct her, so there's no insult there. It's as if he would have added a phaser effect, or reverb, same thing, it's just aesthetic

[@shonjayt]

One thing I love about these collabs is most of the musicians have never heard a drill beat but once Ocean shows them they are always so much more enthusiastic for the second beat. As an American it's easy to assume that Rap is just as big in the rest of the world as it is here.

[@shonjayt]

@Splitting Time she didn't but she definitely gave more of her musical opinion when she realized what drill was. Those mids she recorded made the vocal sample way fuller.

[@Usenabt]

Shes from the UK?... The home of that drill sound

[@mrmarcuswatson]

@@Usenabt huh? Drill started in Chicago

[@kapitalga]

@@mrmarcuswatson not the kind they're making

[@HeavyPrice]

@@kapitalga it’s a sub genre birthed from ours. They call it grime.

[@brucedavis191]

bring her back and do some EDM with her. something dark and rainy with thunder in the bass.

[@TheCrisis1]

💯

[@davidezaia7331]

I would buy a sample pack made of ambiance swells, vocal fx's and so done by her

[@yahyeet3694]

If you haven't listened to Lastlings' First Contact album yet, go do that! Wonderful angelic vocals with dark atmospheric beats.

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

This is amazing!🔥

[@dolladreproduction]

She would killed some of your pain beats

[@3FAWTY]

You’re the goat 🐐 lifestyledidit i have some of your packs ❤️

[@LifeStyleDidIt]

@@3FAWTY thank you so much!

[@dr.beaulab]

Ocean would have Debussy sitting next to him like.. " But do ya listen to Drill ? "

[@nsns7993]

Ocean! Normally i really love your collabs but i think this was a miss. She has a beautiful voice with a lot of layers, deepness and beautiful tonality. Her voice is too musical and beautiful to be muffled away by some plugins a fat 808 and some trippy hihats 😆. Love your stuff and creative collabs just wanted to give my 2 cents ✌️ looking out to the following video!

[@jacobkatz9591]

agreed

[@booprod]

I understand your point, but personally, that’s why this mix of beautiful harmonies and voices fits so well with these kinds of drums that goes straight to your face ahaha

[@suwooplad4565]

Agreed

[@Ytremz]

HI-HATS GO TSTSTSTSTSTS

[@TwoTwoFourSix]

it doesnt matter, he wanted it for a certain purpose, trying to over purify music and embrace this arbitrary "purity" is going to bring music nowhere.

[@SLWNI]

She worked her entire life just to make her voice pitch perfect and my man destroyed her with pulling autotune up . Emotional Damage But on serious note man you didn't have to do her dirty like that

[@darrinsiberia]

ya TBH beat makers are just like those guys who do funny cartoon drawings of ppl at the beach... Classical artists are on a whole nother level.

[@SLWNI]

@@darrinsiberia both have their own values man ! But sure that refrence is somewhere correct 😅

[@tracklib]

Such a great video, amazing work by both you and Chess!!

[@treshines459]

tracklib???

[@jmccouture3866]

OMG that is something that I would like to do collaborate with others. Like this. I love the beat.

[@Liferoxwow]

the accuracy of the note swap at 2:29 is insaneeeee she is so good

[@noduj]

That face when the second beat droped "here we go again" 😅

[@lad4444]

Her first time listening to drill like 😧😮😵‍💫

[@curlychronicles]

Very fun to watch the process! What a lovely voice she has! ❤

[@601Beats]

What I expect to find in looperman:

[@whoami01]

Yup and for free too

[@vumas]

@@whoami01 loll

[@prodnavi2]

😆😆😆

[@austinsinger7565]

I wish we heard more of her voice in the beats but besides that nicely done.

[@randomthoughtsproductions]

AYe so I think I figured this out, the actual beat isnt that bass heavy, but because he is recording the room sound not the actual song it sounds like that. The actual beat is way more balanced see 7:53 and 4:04

[@proddobre]

This already lit without even completing the video

[@TacShooter]

Amazing to watch two talented artists from different styles collaborating to produce new art.

[@bartekglinski2665]

I honestly think (just a guess), that she wasn't so happy about all of it. Like you hired a professional artist that has amazing expressive voice and made her invisible behind 808s and hi-hats. By working with musicians, producers can make them shine and together create something great. It's impossible to do that when their performance is treated as a generic sample.

[@medicisounds1384]

You can do whatever you want if you hired the vocalists. Why does it matter what he makes?

[@bartekglinski2665]

@Medicisounds I totally agree. If you hire a musician, as long as you pay him, everything's cool. I just gave another perspective on this situation. But why does it matter? It matters because art matters, at least in my opinion.

[@chillin5703]

@@bartekglinski2665 cos it's more than just a job for people rlly into musical production. It's not just the legal aspect or morality

goosebumps!!! what a voice, what a sound you guys created. Love this series, such an awesome way to create. thanks for sharing Ocean. 🌊🎶

[@frydropper420]

[@williamgrierson4133]

Fire Bruh. Glad to have you back on my feeds Big Dawg.

[@niklashultkrantz7766]

To me the best I love. Rap with strong singers gives dynamic.

[@theronyoumans1383]

The both of you are incredibly talented. Great video

[@xvReece]

You deserve way more views man. I’ve watched so many of your videos and you’ve had some amazing content, this included. Hopefully the algorithm changes in your favour!

[@niamhoconnor8986]

Bless her though, she looks nonplussed by the whole experience 🥺❤

[@aqutix9053]

man that second beat giving me heavy Liberty City vibes.

[@Martin1519]

Idk how this guy makes producing look so easy. It takes me a few days to a week to get a beat done.

[@DonDadda45]

practice. He also knows all his best sounds that work together which makes the beats sound much better than a beginners

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

Years of hard work mate

[@youngorangee]

The crooked mic is giving me so much anxiety

[@trippc]

Both the idea and delivery is so spot on. You really are another class producer

[@eddradcliffe]

I would her bring forward in the mix. Her voice is amazing.

[@MrDarthMoul]

bro u making the exact right business moves. keep going. I am following you in since 20K Subscribers, u gonna go somewhere, I know that

[@Prod.Majestic]

She ain't look too excited when u told her it was gonna be drill😂😂

[@iamjdx]

That first beat gave of kidulthood vibes. There’s a part in that movie where there’s an orchestral beat and it’s so sick

[@rohankapoor8291]

You covered her Beautiful notes and voice behind your overpowered bass and drums

[@seekingforoo930]

Opera and drill is absolute madness 🔥

[@TheRussianGenius]

Really good 🌊 please continue these collabs or guest invitations!

[@ogsam2899]

The 2nd beat is crazy damn kinda mad how you come up with em quickly

[@prodbyuntitled]

Yo Ocean, just wanted to say you inspired me to start doing videos too, I've been recently experimenting turning Rap music into movie soundtracks. So far i've only uploaded a "Just wanna rock" orchestral version, it's doing fairly well. Keep up the great videos bro

[@spungeegoodness1144]

She has a gorgeous voice!!! Very epic beats doode!!!

[@DrummClem]

Wow, instant chills when she starts singing...

[@RobertMunteanu105]

She's brilliant!

[@eros-up5jg]

She had a wonderful voice, I wish you would’ve left her singing without auto tune. Was not expecting the first one to be turned to drill beat but would still be cool to hear someone rapping over it

[@tipofthespear1]

You're a master craftsman my guy...also great video editing, love the "heads up "display style on the vocal recording

[@Bashanvibe]

Both records sounds like they could be in a gangster movie or documentary!!! This was very different and original!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@ZAKU-GD]

opera chorus's and hiphop, EDM with house beats fused in the right way makes music alive in such a way that is mentally unexplainable and gives the mind peace at the same time. I Love this type of fusion in music. Im pretty sure Aaliyah would of been proud to hear this type of music..

[@jordinmusic2588]

This whole video is amazing🔥🔥🔥 taking drill to another level honestly
