Metro Boomin, Zaytoven and Sonny Digital Lecture on the Sound of The South | Red Bull Music Academy

[@garrettsworrldd]

for a video about sound engineering and producing the volume of this video is all over the place

[@kennys.3426]

i think they were there just to get the answers...

[@DracoBeats]

It's just the one mic. They switched out mics in the beginning back and forth but I'm assuming they got sick of doing it and just started using the bad one lol.

[@tonytwotimemusic1829]

Garrett Orr its because they were cupping the mic with their hand. Notice everything was a okay until sonny and metro started talking.

[@DanielSqrd2]

or they just want the audio track to have High Dynamic Range

[@Ajan4700]

10 yrs ago we had Scott Storch, Timbaland, Dr.Dre... Now we have these legendary producers... Lord knows who we gon listen in the next decade...

[@ilovemymoney123]

we had scott storch, but scott storch had cocaine

[@PhilParleTV]

+Stimp C one of my favorite producers on the come up. what up homie?

[@Anthony-hx6yd]

give time

[@AZ-yz1lc]

Finally someone. They aren't even the best at this moment. Zay is questionable, but the rest no where near.

[@prod_adrian]

Scott Storch in the game and he got da flames on the keys still!!

[@MegaVideoEditor]

sonny digital and metro boomin could easily be brothers.

[@lesahenderson7365]

MegaVideoEditor I see what you mean

[@princekudzai7458]

[@tyc44-s1x]

[@catdestroyer3509]

I'm just glad zaytoven is getting recognized for his talent.

[@mbf6160]

Factz

[@kennycaceres691]

(Kkk😘😍😍😍😘😍🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🧐🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🧐🤮🤮🤮

[@BussedDownCartier]

Lil Jon and Zaytoven lowkey the pioneers for alot of the production out nowadays

[@BrotherNero777]

how can you forget Lex Luger and Drumma boy

[@BussedDownCartier]

+H.T JR they are honorable mentions too

[@armchannel1185]

about my favorite proucers... 808 Mafia, Sonny Digital, Metro Boomin are from other planet, but Lex Luger and Drumma Boy are from other GALAXY. Unfortunately, they all have fell off in last 1-2 years. especially Lex has gone down since 2014 and 808 Mafia, Sonny, Metro and Drumma fell gradually off in last 12 monthes.

[@thomasflores959]

+Flashius Clay plz lex is more than honorable

[@LittySmitty]

+ARM channel its funny how a person can say someone fell off after not hearing from them only in a year. smh

[@princekudzai7458]

These Guys Are the Reason Why I'm Making Music Today #MyInspiration

[@JohnSmith-pv5wj]

Zaytoven's shit is crazy to me bro. Kinda has a more authentic analog feel to it, but it still bridges the gap.

[@ShzaKun]

Future's 'Peacoat'... that's when I knew Zay was a master.

[@uptownviews]

zay been making hits since the 90's u must just started listening to rap my man

[@13eatrix]

All his work sounds similar to me but that's just my opinion. He does the same piano riffs and usually plays in the same key.

[@uptownviews]

+Still Platinum it gotta sound similar that's his own style dre beats sound similar neptunes beats sound similar metro beats sound similar if u a producer that's where u tryna get ur records so ppl kno ur sound that man a real pianist check out his church videos playing them keys ain't nobody n the industry on his level right now

[@ShzaKun]

uptown qua what tracks did he produce in the 90s

[@MarquiaCherrell]

Zay is the gate keeper of ATL hip-hop producing. I like it!!! Wising all these Black men much more success in the future!

[@decabeatz0051]

I would personally say that Zaytoven is a legend. :)

[@infinitewav4655]

not personally, he is

[@TrackFingers]

Easily

[@ShzaKun]

I wish southside and tm88 couldve been here too. dope guys with creative energies.

[@13eatrix]

Southside and TM aren't cool.

[@mariotapia4426]

+Still Platinum L.

[@JuicedUpLA]

yes they are, tm88 was just in southside music video

[@blade9852]

yoo where Escoo?? s sad but at least metro there

[@JuicedUpLA]

Who is escoo? Galaxy_Nebula

[@audioplugg5310]

this should be motivation. the only one who can actually hold an interview is Zay. if they can make it, then anybody with a dream and plan can! keep going after your dreams and don't stop until there's no more breath in your lungs!!!

[@yourmanleobroski9700]

Thank you red bull for bringing these 3 legends together and giving us the chance to take a glimse of their genius. Blessings

[@mizzmocha8214]

Metro is so adorable, I love his hype personality!

[@FDIsrael]

these guys r of the most humble people in the game, thats some inspiration man u guys make me wana go back to making beats and not quit! thank u metro sony and zay! much love bro

[@DaPhreshestKidd]

zaytoven the most unique artist in the industry, so authentic and talented

[@carlomartines231]

he takes eem to church

[@JJ-xo3er]

Tyler Francis His keys are insane, the best their is when it comes to the piano, for example listen to the beat on the song, Flow- Rich Homie Quan feat. Offset. The keys on that beat are heavenly.

[@mackpark3153]

Tyler Francis zaytoven and big krit

[@mbf6160]

Factz

[@Prodlem]

somebody gotta tell Sonny & Metro to put that mic away lol their parts loud af. dope interview though!

[@lajuanlong6623]

+Afro Latino sonny actually raps and generally rappers hold they're mics close so they can get a louder sound in their concerts.

[@kennys.3426]

they were loud cause they were the most genuine and sincere. They told alot of truth on there and were the most comfortable. alot of jems in this video tho

[@lastonesaya3770]

I follow you

[@CodeMagiic1]

why this sound tech dude not even know how to lower mic volume lmao

[@mikexxxmilly]

Zay been in it longer lol

[@cantknocktheswag6625]

Drumma Boy and Shawty Redd never gets enough props for their contribution to the early trap scene. Yes Zay was also there from the start but there were other producers too.

[@GrapevineEnt]

I wish Redd could have cut ties with the streets. I have been in the room with Redd and Zay at the same time...Stankonia Zay is not from Atlanta. Redd brought that Memphis sound to Atlanta. He doesn't sample like DJ Paul but drum programming was Memphis.

[@WillieFourMilli]

Always good to hear the process.

[@mbf6160]

Zay gave a excellent explanation to what trap is ✊🏾

[@carljohnsonforlife]

Anyone else mad they just skipped the part where everyone was getting ready to jam when So Icy came on? lol

[@xeltrex4812]

GreenHaze Copyright bro

[@User-jj9rs]

Where's Southside?

[@isaiahplaisir2575]

[@rickd9560]

+Gilgamesh South Tm88 isnt in the 808 mafia anymore

[@gilgameshsouth6464]

+Prod. Mxdaz isn't he. I saw an interview about him thinking about leaving the 808 Mafia crew but I haven't seen anything else about it. How do you know that he left 808 Mafia?

[@adukenuk]

yeh southside a real one so is the whole of 808 mafia

[@RainMahn]

Watching this interview really makes me want to learn more and more about music and get better at making it

[@nevacaredmosen]

Carrigan Beats check out my beats tell me what you think bro

[@4everfreshkid]

Interviewers weren’t the best but I still got so much helpful info from this, thank you

[@lemarcuswatkins4956]

Zaytoven is finally getting the credit he deserves

[@panelolli]

Watched the whole video, great job! Funny as hell and educative, I´m producing a lot of trap myself and got a real good rapper at the moment using my beats, not even lying, this shit is gonna take over soon.

[@LinwoodPowell]

Its not...but good luck!!!

[@beatsbykana]

I love how metro didn't like the harshness of his mic and switched haha

[@sunraybeats5336]

Love watching this! Music for life!

[@codemiesterbeats]

zaytiggy is one of the godfathers. I remember hearing him when I was in school and later I was trying to emulate or at least take inspiration from his work.

[@ianvirgo1032]

GOD BLESS ALL, GREAT VIDEOS, KEEP THIS INTERVIEW SERIES UP!!!

[@Pro-habits]

3 greatest Producers in one Room thats Phenomenon!

[@Dane3p]

[@AliAhmad-dv5vu]

[@tynickxo2273]

[@P.REmpress]

Nice interview 🤙

[@PimpPlazaProductions]

This is Legendary.

[@suiuzi2054]

20:29 that an perfect example of a good producer's ear

[@hxghsocietyproductions7450]

who else misses the variety in beats in hip hop b4 trap & 808s took over

[@notsogood9449]

Me... 99.9% of all there beats sound the same. WACK!

[@PRODUCER.SQUADRON]

Old head beats sound more alike lol stfu

[@cyrilalexbeatz]

everyone who says all trap beats sound the same is pretty dumb

[@Alex2Major]

Im trying to be on the couch next

[@gilgameshsouth6464]

The best/most beautiful beat I've ever heard was "Watch That - Travis Scott Prod. Sonny Digital"

[@imanibathe]

besides the audio this video was really motivating

[@holla1992]

Man oh mannnnn atlanta got the rap game on lock ! Can't see it going anywhere else for a long time....

[@rashimeircooper179]

Metro Boomin the best one✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🎧🎹🎶

[@jReze]

I like that Zay explain how he overlap the bass because I struggle tryin to make a perfect bass.

[@theantiquatedsoul2795]

So icy is my all time favorite! Idc what mood I'm in that shit right there!!!!!

[@Iryuj0n]

Zay look like Mo Williams

[@victorevans879]

Keven sum I always said that

[@Artezzio]

[@avxry6352]

Thank you for this

[@djlightsout06]

these interviewers are terrible

[@ArtyoneT]

For real. What's up with that awkward moment at 20:05?

[@Michalpawpaw]

its like the bald guy is scripted and crashed or something

[@lorensolares6277]

nah sonny was just awkward af lmaoo "like that was just the process like the same thing today like not that I'm doing it as much" like wtf is you talking bout lol i fw his beats but its like this man was nervous or something

[@kevinespinoza7128]

lorenso lares tf u mean. He had just said that he would send future beats and they would send em back and forth. cept nowadays he prolly doesn’t have to make so many beats cuz his hits make him way more money

[@luislinan2266]

Zaytoven the only one who knows how to hold the mic

[@Michalpawpaw]

my volume is on fire after watching this

[@MintySodaBeats]

3 Legendary producers

[@everythingjuicie3962]

[@IceMontgomery]

[@unlockyourpower9962]

Thank you

[@strugglecuts]

Tell me why At 1:19:00 when they played the snippet of "where i came from" i had to finish listenin to it before i went back to the interview 🎹zaytoven

[@bossbose93]

This line up is crazy...

[@THEGREATESTINTHEFKINGWRLD]

Greatest producer ever. Zaytoven. Simple.

[@DanielMurrayLegendary]

Time to cook up some beats

[@kansascitychief4965]

The bass overlaps in Gucci Mane's "Bricks" and I've always wondered if Zaytoven did that on purpose or didn't know how to cut the bass. Now I know!

[@lawrensbuissereth9997]

this really motivational

[@YoungKuzz]

Sonny and Metro are cool, but for me personally, Zay is way ahead of them with his sound.

[@haven252]

idk i think zay just has more musical knowledge and and the fact that he plays keys helps alot. i dont think metroboomin and sonny play any instruments or have music theory knowledge tbh.

[@rexxrunna8822]

yes zaytoven is the godfather of trap beats.. sonny and metro took zaytoven sound n elevated the sound...

[@EPICPACKOPENINGSXD]

+Rexx Runna who is lex luger?

[@rexxrunna8822]

+Richard Lionheart mybad lol

[@erikgarcia4443]

because zay has been in the game for so long with gucci but Noone knew who he was

[@bundess5473]

[@nevacaredmosen]

Bundess check out my beats tell me what you think bro

[@henzobean]

sonny digital funny as hell

[@RAWNATURETV]

where is southside in this equation ?

[@alotaVariety]

southsides not creative tm88 is better

[@MotivatedBeatz]

+Mark E Mark are you stupid ??? Southside is these niggas father, ZAYTOVEN the grandfather

[@RAWNATURETV]

r

[@RAWNATURETV]

Mark E Mark relevant argument - they musn't have invited him because he's not 'creative'. it all makes sense now thanks for your insightful comment.

[@alotaVariety]

Motivated Beatz tm88 keeps getting better southside been doing the exact same thing since waka

[@mackpark3153]

Zaytoven and Gucci but Future unique and 🔥🔥plus them Migos 🚀🤑

[@blaze262332]

wow where has this been

[@Wk32eze]

zay dont care if gucci dont care lol i love these stories

[@vanbawithathawng6224]

Metro be the little brother who can't keep inside jokes inside and laughed every time they brought it up.

[@kschaubb]

love these talks but each persons levels(volume of their mics) are really different and i have to keep adjusting the volume of the vid...thx RBMA tho

[@GamingSk1llz]

I have been searching for zaytovens movie but I cant find it, not even in netflix

[@002brooklyn]

He a got a movie. Documentary?

[@DixonDeadlifts]

+002brooklyn The movie is called "Birds of a feather".

[@GamingSk1llz]

I know but I can still not find it

[@ivantapia6794]

+JEBARI I think they took it off Netflix but I think it's on youtube

[@kingkelz215]

I just really think that this is great bruh

[@Backinthedase]

Metro's a fucking beast.

[@3YYY0]

man i love this guys music, i listen to their shit not because i love trap so much or i want the rappers i listen to talk about drugs money hoes, its because they just sharing their story and their music has the vibe they feel. other types of rappers need to see them as role models, not to copy their style, rather how they express them selves.

[@Citiofgods]

the biggest hands down and wondergurl is dope too

[@keenworth4082]

Why the hell would they cut out the songs for people watching on KZbin??
