AraabMuzik picked up his first Akai MPC at sixteen and taught himself to play entire beats live with his fingers, at a speed almost nobody else in production can match. That skill took him from working with The Diplomats and Cam'ron's Crime Pays to producing for artists like 50 Cent, Jay Electronica, A$AP Rocky, Busta Rhymes and Eminem, and to releasing Electronic Dream, an album that helped fuse hip hop with EDM. Several studio session videos of him alongside fellow producer The Alchemist have been seen online for years, but the one showing Alchemist watching him work the pads in real time will always be my favourite. The reason being, you can see Alchemist's raw reaction to what he was seeing. For somebody who is very accomplished in his own right, producing songs like Kendrick's Meet the Grahams among many others, it shows just how much respect AraabMuzik commands from other producers at the very top of the industry. #thealchemist #tears #studiosession #edm #hiphopmusic
