J.Brookinz Beat Battle Spotlight | Mandog
JB - How do you describe your producer style?
MD - I'd say its intensely chill most of the time. A lot of times I make beats that make rappers think they want to rap on them but then they run away scared cuz they cant handle the heat. I just try and keep the dog around. So if she gets up and leaves while I'm making a beat, I know its time to scrap it. So I guess you could say the house dog dictates my beats. But basically my stuff differs day to day. I dig, I sample, I synth, and what not. Catch me makin a banger.
JB - Who are your Top 5 Producers ever?
MD - J Dilla, Madlib, Organized Noise, Flying Lotus, RZA
JB - What's the last beat that you heard that you wish you made and why?
MD - That'll Work by The Alchemist off of Chemical Warfare. Three 6 Mafia rap on it and that beat goes hard. Get familiar and get hype.
JB - If you could only play one track to best represent you to a new listener what would it be? Can we hear it online?
MD - I'd play Dramamine. Milky Way Vandals track. Juan Blanco, Pope, and Grey Granite all rapped on it. I think it represents my sound somewhat, but that's really hard to do with one track.
JB - Do you have a strategy for the battle or do you just go and play beats?
MD - Before, I've gone in as a novice to the beat battle scene, and played a laaaayed back joint, got slaughtered by Blake Allee as I understand. (I wasn't of age so my gf had to represent me in the battle). Though I don't blame it on her. The next year, I thought I came prepared with some wicked stuff, I went pretty hard I thought. Yet I was outplayed again first round, due to relentless onslaughts of hihats and drops. This year, I know what to expect from everyone else I FEEL like.I'm doing what I need to do to out do them. That's all I'll say. I know there's lots of beast producers in this city. I'm honestly ready to bump that first round sample challenge mixtape.
