Ghetto Lexicon
Yea man
its yuh man g lex up on this... i produce hip hop, R&B , and dancehall.. ive been doin it for a min.. im not like the millions of ppl on the net who hype up there shit , come to find out there shit is wack. me personally, i think im pretty good at wut i do since i really have no musical training , or never studied an instrument and im 15 . for the most part i make all my beats from scratch but recently im guilty of trendwhoring the style of sampling old vocals.. but anyway have a listen, see if u like, if u feel it holler at meh if u wanna purchase some stuff
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
well it all started one day durin my summer vacation, i must have been in the 6th grade. I was about 11 and the idea just popped up in my head one day that i would be hot if i could just make my own drumlines on the computer. all i wanted to do was make drumlines that was all. so i did some research and i found the program Hammerhead. i thot it was the hottest thing out. i would lock myself in my room and use that program for hours at a time . but then after a while i thot it would be hot to also come up with the melodic part of the production. so i found , yes you guessed it, Fruity Loops. at the time the one that i used was Fruity loops 2. at this time im like 12.. so i started usin it, i really dont kno wat type of genre of music i made with it at the time but i thot it was hot to me. then in like the middle of 7th grade i really started picking up momentum with my prodction and gettin good. oh yea, at that time i was also rhymin with these other two cats... cutting to the chase, im a sophmore in high school 15 yrs old and this is where im at now ( peep the beats)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
no i dont play live but hopefully ill get notice by some company and ill have the pleasure of performing.
