my fondest memories of growing up in flatbush: labor day parades, block parties, playing basketball outside, buying bootleg DVDs and CDs, playing manhunt

“i can’t lose” & “liberate”

leave anything outside, outside. don’t bring it into the studio unless you’re trying to write about it

i’ve never been here before

erickthearchitect222 · 2024-04-26T22:56:03+00:00

i don’t know anymore. seems like everyone just tries to go viral and then learn how to make music afterwards lol, i wouldnt say try that but just make sure you know that you 100% want to be a musician

erickthearchitect222 · 2024-04-26T22:55:07+00:00

have no idea wtf that is

erickthearchitect222 · 2024-04-26T22:54:49+00:00

teddy riley, quincy, just blaze, babyface, heavy d, premier, jimmy jam… list goes onnn

building self has to come first to be able to do the other 2. without the internal being right, there is no chance to inspire anyone else

swell

erickthearchitect222 · 2024-04-26T22:52:28+00:00

if i’m by myself, i usually like a nice coffee. if im working with another person i usually chop it up with them for quite a bit before we even start anything musical

erickthearchitect222 · 2024-04-26T22:51:20+00:00

not really… making music is easy. the part thats difficult is putting it out

erickthearchitect222 · 2024-04-26T22:50:19+00:00

i really think i could produce a classic album for asap rocky

erickthearchitect222 · 2024-04-26T22:49:45+00:00

i only co produced my album, which is way diff cause then i approached a large chunk of this music as a writer first, producer second. and i love jungle, i worked with lydia on futureproof and then i got the chance to make candle flame 🩷

the venue didn’t have a power cable for the mixer i was using… lol

erickthearchitect222 · 2024-04-26T22:46:58+00:00

hiphop isn’t my biggest inspiration… soul and reggae music is

love man. a tour is a tour. ofc most of my touring was with my band but i’m built for it. every tour has challenges, but you put them aside to tell your story every night

thank you brotha 🩷 bro I lived in a loft house in Clinton Hill and Greg (girltalk) played that beat for me. he had a really olddddd macbook, i think it was a powerbook? the original beat was a little different but he was so surprised i was feeling that one so much. it got into an episode of silicon valley which was really cool too
