Ayy I been waiting for the next episode 🎉
Classic Interview!
After his story.... I know why he choose "Bounce Back" as the Title of his life 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Producer/Writer and Hit Machine. Inspiring story. Great Episode 💯💯💯
i appreciate the fact that he's being open about writing hooks and giving artist ideas, it opens the gate for close minded people who think that every artist does everything by themselves, who would have thought that big sean used hitmakas hook for bounce back, thats amazing
chill Interview, thanks
Great interview! Very inspiring! If shit ain’t working out, take that detour and reinvent yourself. Glad I switched over to landing placements in sync licensing.
These interviews keep getting better and better 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This Joint Was Mad REFRESHING, Dope Questions/Interview And Mad SAUCE From The god " HitMaka " ... SouLute !!!

The Hitmaka Rebrand and the results are a huge inspiration.

Best interview I've seen this far imo. He's the definition of a producer's producer. He went from Yung Berg to bouncing back as Hitmaka and he doesn't just make beats but he helps formulate songs and all of that. Hes a producer for real and motivating me to level up some more 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I respect Hitmaka but I thought he was at least a small part of the creation process musically in his credits. I do think it is a skill to just put it all together and quarterback a song but I always thought he was making beats/instrumentals. Sound engineers are the unsung heroes in music!!!

Yes, that's right. He may not program drums on an MPC directly like a Dr. Dre or DJ Quik, but he can help direct a 16-piece orchestra to build a song bed for a 17 minute music video about a college kids date turned Zombie Horror film, and create multiple sonic moments over the course of the song's story. Because of Quincy's genius, the entire planet knows Billie Jean just by the opening drums intro before you even get to the bassline. Even children beatbox it! 😆😆
Like the honesty
Yung Berg been snappin 🔥
The evolution so crazy. Hitmaka a machine.
Yung Berg as we know as HITMAKA is the goat FR 🐐🔥🖤💯
I appreciate berg honesty a lot don’t like to big up they folks who worked hard
This got to be the best interview/story I ever seen.
Hitmaker is cut from the same cloth as I am I’m from that same area where you really had to be hands on with the music and producing 🙏🏾💪🏾💯👑
I learn about him on reality TV, I never knew he was this was this established. I wish him much success.
yuh yuh yuh let’s get it
Networking is far more important than being good at making beats. Especially in an industry as collaborative as music. Knowing people that can get you into rooms is more beneficial than only being good at making beats.
