They’ve done so in part by showing us new ways to make a looped rhythm track sound like a solid, immovable object, or more likely, a steadily pounding mechanical piston.įrom Rick Rubin’s rock-rap anthems of the ‘80s to the Swizz Beatz synth bangers of the ’90s to the bombastic Just Blaze soul beats of the 2000s to the Lex Luger trap tracks of the 2010s, the most aggressive hip-hop hits of each era have their own unique texture. Dre to RZA to Just Blaze, have pushed the genre forward. Through the aforementioned techniques, and more, hip-hop’s greatest beatmakers, from Dr. Or maybe an obscure sample with a piercing, high-pitched tone takes the energy of the track to another level. Maybe the bass feels like it’s going to shake you out of your chair. Maybe the drums sound like they’re going to punch through the speakers. But rap production has a somewhat abstract set of criteria for judging how hard a beat can be, and how a track can make the MC on it sound like an unstoppable Man of Steel. So my appeal to everyone: Get yourselves a glass of wine plus a copy of "808s & Sax Breaks" and have good time.Every genre has its own way of going to loud and heavy extremes. This smooth and confident mix of jazzy tunes accentuated with modern beats is the perfect thing to lay back with. This is just refined and mellow music mixed with 808 drums - which surprisingly fit the concept extraordinarily and precisely - added with some of the most clever and wistful background syntheziser / key harmonies I have heard in a long time.
Referring to Kanye West's "808s and Heart Breaks" he called his album " 808s & Sax Breaks" as he plays his saxophone on every track - in a wonderful way! This EP is available for paid download on the common music sites, I got mine here:įor everyone of you who liked Terrace Martin's earlier jazz-inspired productions, or him playing the sax at all, please spend a few dollars on that great piece of music, you won't regret it.
In the last week of December 2009, Hip Hop producer Terrace Martin released an instrumental album with 5 all new tracks produced by him and Wild Animals ( "Snoop Dogg Millionaire").
