The fine art and science of searching for the elusive beat.
“Like the beat digging, cuz that’s a whole science man. There’s a lot more to beat digging than a gamble. I’m still learning every day y’know. And that’s the whole beauty of it -- the learning. We’re on some masters levels in beat digging in this crew y’know. But y’know when I sample something I’ve found, some mad orchestral classic, I’m not just going in and grabbing a sample and that’s that -- I’m trying to rebuild that tune as a hip-hop tune -- trying to break it down, twist that vibe and bring it back up, like putting the track back together. A combination of putting in the drum track with the breaks and trying to make it all come together -- that’s what it’s about. But how you achieve that is up to you.”
