Off the Record: Young Chop | Part One

There is perhaps no other producer around with as much buzz surrounding him as Chicago's Young Chop, whose record "I Don't Like" with similarly sweltering artist Chief Keef is currently seeing the likes of Kanye West, Pusha T, Big Sean and Jadakiss hopping on board the remix. LRG recently hit the studio with the 18-year-old phenom producer where he discussed how he got his start, some of the biggest records already under his belt and his signature sound. Stay tuned for Part II.

[@liqdelshaun]

I listened to the Back from the Dead mixtape every day in the summer of 2012 until I went to school for 9th grade and told everybody about Keef. Because of this video, I also learned about FL Studio and started making beats. Such a memory.

[@djjpaul20]

Last time I checked, Chi town and new york music didn't sound even close to the south sound. You can't even tell which rapper is from where b/c everything sounds like the south. I didn't know french montana was from new york till somebody told me. His music make him sound like he from the south. Every region had it's own sound back then. Music from cali sounded like it was from cali. You can tell. Music from New York sounded like New York. You can tell. They swagger jackin the south sound now.

[@almightyfortunetella9463]

02:54 Legendary

[@ProdByDJM]

i dont agree. trap is a sub genre. By making trap beats your not stealing anyones style. thats like saying a house producer is stealing someone elses style just because they are using a certain instrument that is required to make house.

[@yungadizaza]

USB keyboard, midi controller, who the fuck cares really. Its a midi controller that you can plug into a laptop with a USB cable. He couldve called it a fucking piano if he wanted to, who cares, he makes hits, period.

[@stevenjacob6869]

i replied the begging like 10 times, beats tough

LRG LEMME ME HELP REVAMP YOUR INTERNET/ KZbin PRESENCE

[@djjpaul20]

I know. It's like people ain't listening to ya beats unless it has the following: Trap snare,808 Trap bass, finely chopped hi hats and a catchy melody. I like making beats based on my creativity not somebody else style. If the beat I make catches an artist attention, so be it b/c that's my style. real talk

[@Wild_Cat]

Free young chop

[@NtuMCMXCVI]

He free

[@ProdByDJM]

i see were your coming from but i was talking on a producing not. like you can tell the difference from a young chop beat and a lex luger beat. producers are putting their own style into their trap beats. like johnny juliano adds a crazy style to his trap beats.

[@Larrybarrera91]

@5:05 so kanye being da voice of a generation went like ima fuck this beat up on the remix

[@mandomarley3348]

Don't forget to thank 50 and Jimmy

[@honchobeatzmusic]

Well a beat is really not complete without mixing&mastering and thats something that shouldn't be rushed it should take days or weeks

[@barelyw0rld]

i thought this was niles son
