Protools, Akai software and analog MPC 2000xl, Roland MV8000, Emax SE, Akai S2800, Kurzweil 2500, and a tone of other items that I use every now and then.
This is the music that will push the boundaries of our perception as well as inspire and drive us to introspective conversations. Hip Hop has needed a new message, new ideas and a new way of thinking for a long time and now it is finally here! As long as artists and producers like 80Degreez exist and his story and vision is brought to life then this is the music that may not change the world, but can change the people in the world.
