J Blacco [hip hop since 1987]

About Me

I am a Producer. That's what I do. I make beats but there's so much more to it than that. I'm also capable of writing songs, coming up with hooks, and even step inside the vocal booth myself on occasion. I'm no newcomer to this game. I started out with my trusty Casio SK-1 keyboard with like 2 seconds of sample time on it making pause beat tapes. Then I moved up to this prehistoric version of Acid software on my computer and I used it until I squeezed every drop of life out of that joint. I was doing things with that program that it probably wasn't meant to do, but fu*k it you know. This is hip-hop, ain't no rules to this sh*t. I had to learn how to make something out of nothing so now that I've been blessed to work with some real equipment it's on. I know what it's like to record in the grimiest of basements, garages, project bedrooms, closets, whatever. 4-track recorders, cassette decks, you name it. I got really serious and honed my productions skills when me and couple of my homies formed Classic Squad and proceeded to record 3 full-length albums in the span of 3 months. That's how hungry we was. I'm not like a lot of cats out here that mass produce like 20 beats a day because chances are, 15 of them are gonna sound alike. I prefer to work off a vibe and try not to use the same approach to making beats everyday. I have a style that I prefer and that I love, but I can make any kind of beat. Whether you need soul beats, emotional beats, radio beats, r&b joints, grimey type joint, whatever. I do this because I love it. I'm trying to get paid like the next man, but this is in my soul and I'm never gonna stop. Ya dig? Peace to everyone who's doing it for the love. One..
