Rhythm Roulette (Serato Edition): DJ Khalil | Mass Appeal

From the West Coast and into your eardrums, we have partnered with ‪@SeratoHQ‬ bring you sounds from DJ Khalil.
At an early age, the Seattle-born and LA-raised crate-digger became a staff producer under the legendary Dr. Dre before paving out an illustrious career that led to several Billboard 100 listings and collaborations with some of the most influential figures in #HipHop, such as 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Ferg, Remy Ma, Big Boi, Nas, Cypress Hill, Jay-Z, and The Clipse (to name a few). It is safe to say that Khalil is no newcomer to the game.

Serato stems Man it's gotta be a great time to be a young producer. I couldn't imagine being a kid and just discovering the beatmaking game and the modern technology and not having much responsibility and time to just get lost in it 👍

[@coreyano]

1991 i put 100$ on equipment with 3 friends. I thought the 4-track was gonna separate the records into drums, vocals, instruments, so we could sample... Nope. Haha. Now it's finally reality

[@EFGHstudio]

I use Izotopes RX for stems for years now it's nothing new is it?

[@marvin469]

@@coreyano facts bruh, we started decades ago (1995 for me) . I've stayed current as far as equipment but man sometimes I like to sit back and appreciate the leaps in technology .

[@GCODEGFB]

get bak in your bag!

[@TATSUKIFUJIMOTOFAN1234]

@@coreyano -.- we use websites now

[@ListerTunes]

I love watching the old-school producers who make something so complex look easy because they're building the song in their head as they go. The tools are an (amazing) assist but the human is what makes it real. So smooth.

[@FromTheHipp]

"old school" fam he was active in the 00s into the 10s and still collecting credits. what is old school to you?

[@dugnice]

I wouldn't call him old school, because he's proficient with older and modern gear and techniques.

[@chosenonebeats]

Old school? He’s literally using the newest DAW on the market 😂

[@v3zMedia]

You got grown men in their feelings over the simple label of "Old School". 😂 Lay off the Soy fellas.

[@byllsbeats6037]

yeah I'm lost with people labeling oldschool everything older than two weeks, to me De la soul and Gang starr ended oldschool era back around 89-91 and anything past that time is not oldschool to me, but I guess I'm oldschool

[@BassyGreay]

It's those little nuances like the chromatic sweep up and down and the FX he adds that really bring the overall composition feel like a place in a different world. This is one of my favorites for sure

[@devonbuchanan1353]

Yup. This is the one. Drums bass vocal chops, 3 different songs. Khalil makes it look effortless when it really isn’t. Thank you for this.

[@AntoineMalveaux]

I rank Khalil up there with the greats, dude's been killing it since Self Scientific was dropping. Musical genius. 💯

[@siyagee1000]

He isnt mentioned up there but he is so great

[@divinesoul7]

That drum break is cold as ice. DJ Khalil is definitely one of my favorite producers.

[@skylisszthecolossus]

This might be the best one! He followed the directions 100% even with it being the luck of the draw he used all 3 selections because he has a musical foundation and an ear for music. I think all the OGs are dangerous on here. They focus on the groove more than trying to find a hit and end up making a hit. It's inspiring as a producer to see that. Beat makers just know everything is music, all sounds are an instrument that you can incorporate into your own style/genre. Arrangements, levels, panning are your friends if something you feel doesn't need to take the lead they can be your back up singers or ad-libs.

[@xavierthompson_]

3:56 What on earth is this VST plugin !!!!??? I'm usually not much of a vst geek anymore, I feel like less is more but THIS sounds like gold and is worth having. Anybody?

[@mrbigyooo]

[@JRell]

Khalil walked clean through this Roulette.

[@MR.FREEDMAN]

Shout out to DJ Khalil for never disappointing with his beats, and always coming throught for RR. Last episode with him was crazy.

[@Dispatcher813]

I love the way they let you hear the raw beat and then switch to that magic coming from that processing happing across the room.

[@DaCashRap]

Khalil is definitely one of the strongest influences on me. Glad you brought him back

[@SoundSignals]

Honestly, the stem technolgy whatever platform/software you use isn't artefact free, it still sounds very underwatery. I don't know why people are losing their minds over it there's still a long way to go.

[@SeratoHQ]

Legendary!! 🔥🎧🎶

[@imusic1006]

Can y’all add stems to serato sampler please 😊

[@nodoze123]

@@imusic1006 yes, PLEASE?! 🙏🏾

[@r.i.psteez929]

Man he killed this. I love the bounce of those drums, just endless nodding honestly. Needa find more music with those drums

[@duggmason]

s/o to Khalil for picking an LP and two 45s and still getting busy. This is a top 5 rhythm roulette episode right here.

[@MotivBeats]

I agree

[@TkKirkland-lm5wv]

Guy went to the soul section then put a blind fold on . Talk about a layup lol

[@absolutelynotno]

Khalil is dope he's so talented. I remember hearing his xzibit and strong arm steady skills from like 20 years ago. Cool to have him back on another video

[@ddeafner]

DJ Khalil, I mean what can you say? Absolute greatness of a producer. Side note, I hope Serato plans on releasing a Stems plugin. I don't want to have to buy Serato Studio just to use it.

[@randywatson5324]

Fire beat - Serato Studio Stems is a game changer for real.

[@meccaunknown8725]

I remember first listening to Self Scientific the Self Science back in 2002. I had the album on cd. Have not able to find it on vinyl anywhere. This last weekend went to this record store in chicago that i have not been to in a long time and thier it was in the hip hop section. I still cant believe i finally found it 2 decades later.😊

[@obhbeats]

one of best hip hop producers

[@deemomusic1982]

[@souloshinobi7307]

Man really produced for *Celine Dion* 🕊️ to *Nipsey Hussle* 🏁to *Kanye West* 🐻 . He gave us the soundscapes to KRIT's bass extravaganza *Aux Cord* , Clipse' classic freestyle essential *Kinda Like A Big Deal* , Logic/Wiz's nugget of smoke joints in *Indica Badu* & Cole's career defining verse on *Johnny P's Caddy* ... just to list a very few from countless many ...
