Backpack Beatz: No More Free Beats, Church DNA, Kanye, Drumless Beats
This week's guest is the multi-talented producer and artist Backpack Beatz. Backpack shares his journey through music, from his early days playing in church bands to becoming a respected figure in hip-hop production. He opens up about the philosophy behind his craft, including his “No More Free Beats” ethos, which underscores the importance of valuing one’s work and setting professional boundaries in the music industry.
Backpack reflects on his experience with “Non-Stop November,” a self-imposed challenge to create a beat every day, and how it sharpened his discipline, creativity, and ability to push through exhaustion. He emphasizes the role of accountability, the strength found in collaboration, and the importance of authenticity in an industry often dominated by surface-level relationships.
From sharing stories about his work with legends like Ghostface Killah and Kanye West to his aspirations of being part of a Grammy-nominated project, Backpack Beatz offers a wealth of insights for aspiring producers and music lovers alike. Packed with tips on building community, staying inspired, and navigating the evolving music landscape, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about the art and culture of hip-hop.

    The reason genre borders are important is because it helps the listener find more of what they want. Calling brostep dubstep made it harder for deep dubstep fans to find the style they prefer before the term deep dubstep came about to help them.

    Deathstep isn't necessary orchestral. Nimda's tune Scalped is one of his deathstep ones. Weird to think Nimda is making some of his tunes deathstep without realising 😂❤ Tearout is basically horror music riddim, while deathstep is horror music brostep. Tearout is defined by more a focus on screaming bass sounds, machine gun bass, and less melodic background elements in the drop. Deathstep usually uses choir vocals, but is more defined by the tracks overall vibe than the type of sounds used, usually achieved by the actual notes played, though sometimes deathstep has no melody at all
