People seemed to have forgotten that a sitting president lied to us all in 2020 13 X’s and watch close to 1 million people die from COVID. What makes you think he cares now or will tell The truth? He didn’t care if you were Democratic , Republican , or Independent. youtu.be/r8yOv4PwttM?...

Building something new: 50 Producers Radio is coming to 50producers.com — and a show called Behind The Beat, where producers break down records from the chair they were made in. Who should sit in that chair first? 🎙️ #MusicSky #bluesky #music #rnb #hiphop

Producers — what's the one sound you spent the longest chasing? Mine was a kick that knocks on a phone speaker AND in a car at the same time. Took me years to stop fighting it and learn it. What was yours? 🎛️ #MusicSky

Producer truth: the music business doesn't pay talent. It pays paperwork. If your name, your IPI, and your split sheet aren't right, your song can succeed and you still won't. Handle the business under the beat. #musicsky 🎹

4. Space for the voice. A beat is a room you're building for an artist to live in. Overproduce it and there's nowhere to sit.

5. The paperwork check. Splits, registration, files backed up. A finished beat with unfinished business is a donation. What'd I miss? 🎹 #musicsky

2. The mute test. Solo every element. If a sound isn't earning its place, it's taking space from one that would.

3. The hook in 10 seconds. A&R, sync supervisors, fans — nobody owes you the second minute. Front-load the feeling.

1. The phone test. If it doesn't knock on a phone speaker, it doesn't knock. Most people will never hear your music any other way.
