And then even with the samples, it&#8217;s transitioned more into textures and trying to build out soundscapes. Making sure they have more of a grit or feeling so it\u2019s not just straightforward.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-271563\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left video\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2k24 Tour (feat.

I asked Tony about that song and he was like, \u201cthat was a Laron chop and he really went crazy with it.\u201d I was curious for your perspective about making that song.<\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Tony&#8217;s super open, so a lot of times when I\u2019m trying to make something crazy I just need that, \u201coh that\u2019s hard,\u201d just that confirmation.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            At that point in our creative career though, we have made hundreds of beats. So by the time we get to \u201c2K24,\u201d I\u2019ll just go through beats I\u2019ve made [that] aren\u2019t strong, but maybe there\u2019s something about the loop.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            So that was one of those samples from a beat I had [like that], but the direction I was going in was completely different. It was more straightforward when I sent it to Tony, and then the way he made the beat, he really gave it the space. He didn\u2019t add any extra kicks or anything like that, he really just let it breathe. I thought it was super dope at the time, but when he sent me the track it really connected.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            It was one of those ones where you\u2019re not necessarily pressed about it, because sometimes when an artist does a track or even confirms, \u201cYo this is crazy,\u201d it can make you look at a beat differently. We\u2019re definitely trying to make our best shit, but a lot of the time, just ot be different, it\u2019s just, \u201cFuck it, yo, let\u2019s do that.\u201d Boom, give him the whole orchestra. And then the way he formatted it too, with the sped up version at the end, changes the energy completely on that song.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-271565\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left video\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jadasea - Diamonds\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wat-DbyqgqY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('271565');\n<\/script><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Vivian Medithi<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
