Iron Keys / Dusty B - Collab #2
I like the horns during the hook alot - I think the acapella choice aligns with the general accomplished/determined vibe too, the breakdown around ~135 is dope too and highlights the supporting snares in there too. nice one, i like it. and cool to hear the beat take a different direction too... -

his top track on spotify... I think he's great. Baltimore guy. -
Iron Keys / Dusty B - Collab #2
supposedly he's the new Jay-Z, he's running with it anyways. He's good... it's cool to see Jay influencing the next gen (obv always has) but Jayy Grams reminds me of like a 19yo Jay Z but modern. I think he's prob gonna be big -
Iron Keys / Dusty B - Collab #2

Iron Keys / Dusty B - Collab #2
for sure I pitched it around some of the discords I'm on, let's see. can always post on Reddit and there are always ppl looking for free beats but quality is mixed. -
Iron Keys / Dusty B - Collab #2
have at it my man, @Fade knows Im all for sharing, everyone together, banging keys and knob turning, that's how you make a great track. the biggest thing I miss about album inserts is seeing just how much of a team effort this is, ie: here are the stems brother man from across the pond... -

Pull a rabbit out the hat...
The "underground" folks I've listened to most throughout my life are probably: Common Beanie Siegel/Memphis Dipset Immortal Technique Mos Def Talib Kweli I've never really listened to KRS, before my time. Nothing against him, just never dug into his portfolio. -

Mr @Fade also does something called "The Pop It" -
Pull a rabbit out the hat...
agree, I guess what I'm trying to say is "pop" is really a mix/fusion of some subgenre usually that gets big attention. does it have common characteristics? sure, hence why it's pop because they're doing something that has mass appeal. but I've always seen "pop" as just a representation of... -

Not really IMO. Michael Jackson Billy Joel Queen Madonna Whitney Houston Taylor Swift Eminem Beatles Rolling Stones Zeppelin Nirvana ^all pop, all very different "genres" Pop evolves and at different times certain genres favor more pop appeal than others, influenced by social/culture/tech... -
Pull a rabbit out the hat...
right, and Eminem is pop - I define pop as reaching a mass audience, not a "genre" -
Pull a rabbit out the hat...
But people do give it away for free, because tech has scaled. So there's a ton of people who are making beats who have spent close to $0. If anything I think it creates a more democratic way of getting fame. Pre internet it was whoever had enough money to pay the label or stations. Now if you... -

KRS did his thing and laid the foundation no doubt, but c'mon... -

Always been that way though, look at every industry today, the MBAs took over. But it's part of the natural cycle. Steve Jobs hated the man, now Apple is the epitomy of a greedy corporation. "Selling your soul" or not. Depends on your goal, etc. Are you just trying to make art? Need money to...
