Thank you Rap for continuing what Genius couldn't

[@dvm9795]

Wym? They no longer do breakdowns?

[@Silentype]

@@dvm9795Go look at their page and you'll see it's been over half a year or a full year if not longer

It's crazy how the simplest beats blow up. As a producer sometimes I struggle with doing too damn much...

[@zuvadon]

Well said.@@solouno6387

[@litlikestunna]

sometimes minimalism is key, goodluck brother

[@benjig7085]

It wouldn't blow up without Gunna its all marketing and who you know. It doesn't matter your skill when marketing is what sells to this society.

[@benjig7085]

@Relaxcolt. Without Gunnas originality and flair it would be another generic beat that doesn't stand out.

[@neusun_cev]

Simple beats are lowkey harder to make than complex beats

[@garvenroc]

Never force the track. A Piano and a Flute, a hihats loop from splice and we have one of the best track of 2023

[@Chrisuns]

These breakdowns are hard. Keep them coming

[@datrinitrapgod]

Wrd these are great tips 💯💯💯

Dunk Rock absolutely deserves every bit of the success he's gotten over the past several months. Such a humble, down to earth dude, not to mention a ridiculous talent

[@SanMario95]

Dunk, you are the man. Very humble and down to earth, love this guy

[@Dynasty19]

This man really helped drastically redefine Gunna’s legacy at a time of pure uncertainty for him…Safe to say this record likely saved his career forever in some ways and bolstered his already strong catalog to a level most artist can’t possibly duplicate 🔥

[@shazamgod2240]

Or did gunna just pick a beat?

[@stephenmwanzake]

The producer is so much down to earth. I loved his intro to the Convo, he's an eye opener and you can learn alot being around him. The beat is not complicated, just simple sounds. I guess when the time is Right things just happen.❤

[@smoothsavage2870]

Dope to see a Reason producer. From a guy who uses Reason in Ableton.

[@Whotfisliko]

That advice at the end speaking to my soul fr! Thank you for the inspiration Dunk Rock!
