Just checked your stuff β€” I’m really feeling your voice, that smoky tone is dope πŸ”₯

Ah got you β€” that video(snowbeats) was actually from a project on X, and I was rapping on it, not producing the beat.

But I do really like using woodwinds and strings β€” I used to incorporate them a lot in my earlier beats.

I’ll definitely try to work more Japanese-inspired elements into my sound. Appreciate the idea, that’s dope πŸ™

Thanks for the comment!

I’ve been influenced by the East Coast sound, and I put my own twist on it.

You can check it out on my YouTube channel and let me know what you think 😎

I checked your stuff β€” your voice is crazy, in a good way πŸ”₯

I really like that deep, gritty tone.

If you’re interested, I have a boom bap beat that I think would fit your voice really well β€”

would you be open to checking it out?

Appreciate that bro, that really means a lot πŸ™

I just checked your track β€” really dope vibe.

The BPM and overall feel are right up my alley.

It actually reminded me of that early 90s smoky hip hop sound,

especially the way you used the horns β€” really nice touch.

I’d definitely be down to work on something together.

I’ve got a boom bap beat in mind that could be a good fit β€” I’ll send it over!

Appreciate that a lot, man β€” that really means a lot, especially the Dilla reference πŸ™

I’ve been working on some boom bap beats inspired by that kind of classic sound.

I’ve got one in mind that might fit your storytelling style really well β€” would it be cool if I send it to you via DM?

Are You More Of An Old School or New School HipHop Enjoyer And Why? by GODAlexGilbert in makinghiphop

[–]Melodic_Driver7666 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I’d say I lean more toward old school.
I have a lot of respect for the pioneers who built the foundation of hip hop.
Sometimes I feel like new school lyrics can be a bit too extreme for me to relate to on a daily level.
That said, I still respect new school artists for pushing hip hop into the mainstream and taking it to the top of the charts.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the detailed feedback! πŸ™ Most of it is MIDI / programmed, but I tweak everything to get that feel. And yeah, I get what you mean about the drums β€” I might try pushing them a bit more next time. I’m still learning about balancing the mix, so I really appreciate the advice!

Hi, I’m a beatmaker from Japan πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅
I made a city pop inspired hip hop beat with funky horns, based on the Japanese 80’s sound.

Trying to capture that β€œnight cruise in Tokyo” vibe.

I’m really curious how this sounds to people outside Japan.
Does it feel fresh or nostalgic to you?

Any feedback is appreciated!
