OG Parker: Mistakes Producers are Making in 2022, Truth About Paid Collabs, Best 808 Drums & More

New OG Parker interview with ProducerGrind. Our first time catching up with the multi-platinum producer since our first interview with him in 2018. We talked about a lot of topics including 2022 common producer mistakes & the truth about paid collabs (are they worth it?) We also had a dope discussion about favorite VST sounds as well as the best trap free drum kits for making beats. We also talked about the OG Parker x DDG collab album & getting placements.

If you’re worried about being too quiet in the Stu. A cheat code is starting a convo wit the engineer! That way it gives the artist a chance to see how you really are without talking directly to you. 9/10 they’ll be more comfortable with you after you break ice with the engineer. Plus the engineer skill wise is closer a producer any way so if you’re too shy to talk to the artist. Talk with the engineer first 👍🏾

[@louie2g]

timing is key here but good advice as an engineer also i'd like to say starting convo with engineer is fine long as u gauge how focused he is (ie. mid session listening for something subtle)

[@bdotgotbeats7882]

this is key!! done this several times the engineer can sometime set the tone for the room depending on the environment

I really love OG Parker’s story about his studio session that didn’t go well. I think that was an important highlight of dealing with failing and staying confident in your craft to continue and grow. Very humanizing perspective that a lot of producers are afraid to put out there. This made me subscribe to this channel.

[@younglevin7011]

[@prodbytwokay]

I went from clarinet to saxophone as well g. That’s crazy I feel like every producer got sum type of musical background 💯

[@JimonRussell725]

producers need to learn that just because an artist doesn't wanna use your beats doesn't mean your beats are bad, it just means that's not what the artist is looking for

[@TrunxKraft3000]

Y’all should do this kind of set up more often.

producers play a role in the whole diss rapping thing as well, so you cant say "oh we just producers we not in it", rappers not gonna diss someone over no happy ass beat 😂

No That is not playing role , the artist request an aggressive beat and you make one.. The views expressed in the music don't gotta match your views you just providing a vibe

Only thing that matters is that the track is hard. Place me or not, ion give af bro I got thousands of beats and expanding every day. I don't care if I get signed, if I sell a beat, if I get a beat placed, I'm doing me. If I dont like you, or if you dont like me, you cant get a beat. I'll miss out on a mill ticket just over that. Bottom line is the music itself bro.
