    Man , the burnout gets real. It’s hard enough trying to make music everyday but then having to record and edit adds a whole nother level of difficulty. Then when you stop uploading you feel a little guilt too. I’m glad to see you’re feeling back to yourself though , thank you for touching on this topic.

      It’s definitely tough, I'm starting to see that taking a step back is necessary sometimes. 💪🏾

    Man when I started making music I made a beat a day then it slowly became a beat a month you have been inspiring me to make more music. Now I’m just tryna find a balance now that my life has gotten more chaotic. Anyways, thanks for all your help you a real one ❤

    All in your own time my man. For me you are one of the only authentic Music Producers on this channel. Your creativity and musicality are an inspiration to all of us. Keep on doing what you do best but take care of you first, we will all be here whenever you release your content and music. Un abrazo tio.

      The hardest part of content creation for me was feeling pressured to keep momentum going. Now that I’ve taken this break I understand that everything has a cycle and going against that cycle by forcing content out isn’t healthy or sustainable

    0:39 years man that’s great. That’s why we play music and not labor music. I’ve been making music for 25 years. I’ve had my ups and downs, made money here and there played some cool gigs and met some great people and amassed some cool gear pieces 3:17 being out in the world is where all the ideas are. Also stay stacking and arm your self with skills that people are willing to pay for.

      You’re right, I feel like insanity started taking over and I got blinded by the idea of living off of my creativity. So blinded that I failed to recognize that change, growth, and experiences is what keeps creators and viewers interested. Now I’m ready to comeback with a fresh perspective and new ideas, thanks for the support 🙏🏽

    Sooo many people, in this music production space, myself included, have gone through this kind of experience in one way or another; sometimes multiple times. I think it's par for the course in some sense. The pressure and workload can very easily start to tyrannize you, and it's super important to take these kinds of breaks, refresh, readjust, get some birds-eye perspective, and then try to reapproach it in a healthier and more precise way.
    I mega appreciate all your music, content, streams, tutorials, etc; Always inspiring and motivating. You're a wonderfully unique addition to our entire music ecosystem, and I'm stoked for whatever the future holds for you

    • @imLowKey

    As an older person, to me this perspective reflects wisdom and maturity. I've been watching the channel for while now and to me you've come a long way. Not just in the music (which is evident) but also in your growth into a subject matter expert who can teach challenging concepts and breakdown complex topics in a way that amateurs like me can understand. Do whatever you need to do, take the time you need to do you. As long as you continue to be honest, and true to yourself you're on the right path. Keep on keepin on, and thanks for the videos. Wish you the best and look forward to the future.

    Chief, i appreciate your video talking about the challenging sides of this new aera in art and especially beatmusic. It is way too much coming out since years and way too much content in my opinion. Too much gear focus as well in the scene. Many giants in art have shown that genious stuff does not need much. But i'm also in love with gear that's clear on the other hand. Nevertheless: i feel you 100 % and breaks are essential to grow. It's like the seasons in nature man, they also change and life is like waves, i know it sounds lcliche but for me it is like that as far as i've seen in my 41 years here. To do stuff you love is key, especially nature and contact with close friends/family. All of your music is killer dude, so inspiring and pushing into a direction instrumental hiphop is lacking a lot nowadays! A lot of uncreative stuff is coming out, like this "lofi" scene here in europe somentimes. Thanks to you i switched on my piano again. You and Dibi man, ya my heroes. Would love to see you jamming with other musicians, i know this is going to be huge as well. Peace Qes Jago
