This is A-list Productions, the home of HQ beats, no slippin', no slidin', no half-steppin'. I knock out a wide variety of beats so look around; you'll find something dope as f*** here.

I don't do this for free. I won't get into the long-ass essay about how I came to be of that mind-set, just trust me. Suffice to say that I'm way too grown to play around. If you wanna talk some BUSINESS, holla at me! My contact info is up-to-date.

My Pop Dukes just died on October 22nd, 2005. Give him a nod and thank him for supporting my efforts in this direction. Your dad ain't even close to as cool.
Why this name?
My first initial is A, and my last name is List. Do the math from there, Hawking..
Do you play live?
I play live in my lab! Nah, I help others get down live.. I used to play out with my boy Sammy Brazil but that is a story that came to a close long ago..
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It helps to rip off legitimate artists while allowing wack-asses to disseminate their weak music. I'm probably talking about you.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yup, I'm a sell-out basically. I won't lie, at this point I'll sign just about anything to get back in the major game.
Band History:
Me and Sammy Brazil used to rock as MaddWest. Since Sammy was a whiteboy with skills, everybody compared us to Emi-f***in'-nem. Aight, f*** that old shit.
Your influences?
I wouldn't call these influences so much as people I respect..

Premier
Muggs
Mark Sparks
Abstract
Kenny M AKA Wizard
Moe Z M.D.
Alchemist
Timbaland (for being ORIGINAL!)
Just Blaze
Whoever does Dre's beats REALLY
Hi-Tech (my Colts just beat his Bengals!)
This dude MadMan
Favorite spot?
Indiana, hands down. My pops died there and I will too.
Equipment used:
I used to be really involved in the whole gear-chase thing. Crib ended up looking like a used gear shop and I was always spending crazy loot on the next thing. F*** that. My last piece of gear was the MV-8000 from Roland. I don't even use it anymore. I have settled down with Reason 4, FL Studio and a 2 octave keyboard and MPD24 drumpad.

Yo, I strongly encourage cats to give the software thang a try! I used to say all that yang about how I needed something tactile to bang on.. Software will do the job better for you, that's my word!
Anything else...?
Thundacats got it goin' on now!
