Rhythm Roulette: V Don
Ойын-сауық
Born in Harlem, Tivon Key aka V Don was raised by a local DJ and so he grew up surrounded by crates of vinyl. For the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette the producer who’s crafted bangers for the likes of Dave East, Maino and Trae the Truth tied on the blindfold and tried his luck at A1 Record Shop in the East Village. “Hopefully I’ma find some fire,” he said before selecting three albums at random.
His first joint was Paul Horn’s 1985 album ‘Inside the Great Pyramid’-“homie got the flutes going crazy,” V Don quipped after seeing the back cover. He also selected The Fifth Dimension’s 1968 LP ‘Stoned Soul Picnic’-“anything that say ‘Stoned’ is defintitely some hippy shit,” V Don observed hopefully. He also picked Sam Harris’s 1986 pop album Sam I Am on Motown Records. “I don’t know about this guy right here, my man Sam Harris. He look kinda crazy, but… you never know.”
V Don headed straight back to the lab and at the end of the day he cooked up not one but two heaters-laced with rhymes courtesy of Smoke DZA-and he ended sampling Sam Harris for both! Check out the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette right now.

I feel it brother - I have discovered so many underrated "best kept secret" type producers and groups through this series. Because unfortunately sometimes we choose to click a video based on views. How dope would it be if they released the series on a double disc? J Dilla would be proud.
His work with willie the kid is imperial 🔥

True...
He actually picked some fire records... But different things appeal to different people and that's the beauty of beat making- no rules
V Don and Willie The Kid got that perfect musical chemistry. Dudes production is ill.

DothollaMusic23 That’s exactly who he reminds me of, and it’s scary to say that him and Willie might have more chemistry together. That’s crazy when Willie and Alc have nothing but heat together.
Something went wrong with the video edit, cause the first and last LP both start with the same song, can't be right.

That first Sam Harris sample was hella nice!!!!! I felt it when the first note starts. Thinking about to search some Sam Harris songs now....
One of the best things about the RR series is that it gives us fans a glimpse into the many unique styles each artist has to beat making. Incredible.
i've seen a couple of times the rapper go in the booth & lay down sum garbage, but DZA killed it all without getting up

i mean, who cares bro?! that's not the real challenge. You can make the beat with just one record if you want.
He did his thing and Smoke DZA was 🔥 off the top freestyle neva heard of em but he dope
Good shit!
in my opinion this was one of the best roulette i seen , i have seen some good and i have seen some do-do. he made 2 nice tracks , and we heard a nice freestyle . i aint mad glad i clicked on this . parker corey was do-do , cardo was borderline . this was alright right here
best one yet. underrated legends on both sides with v don and smoke dza
dope! this man has some serious style!
2nd beat fire. S/o to Vdon , production with Willie the Kid fire and A$AP Rocky - Ghetto Symphony is a new era classic track
Been waiting for this vdon is 🔥
I laughed when he said Sam Harris looks kinda crazy. Can definitely hear Styles P ripping over the finished product.

He said the 5th dimension might have some fire. Bruh, what?!?
This is dope! 🔥
I love how some artists display true passion for the craft & can make a beat dope with their own style/touch. Cause the first beat was tight the second one I wasn’t feeling as much. But Smoke DZA came thru with a flow & bars to match. I love these! Producers always come up with something fire even if 2/3 records are trash. It’s crazy.
V Don go hard.....keep rocking
This dudes FIRE salute G!!!!!!!!
aye that freestyle over the beat was HOT!
Best verse spit on Rhythm Roulette... Someone finally topped Rapsody
V Don killed that !
Very dope
the best videos to watch on KZread!! 👌🏾🧐
Dude was spittin at the end real talk
Came out nice man
Second track is hard. Great job!
I liked this
Dope beat! 🔥

Finally got some fire?? Everything you played was fire. Guess my ear is different.
Sampling is an art within it self. And not just the producing aspect but the fun part where you listen to music you never heard
🔥🔥🔥 smoke snapped too!
Yo that fitted is crazyyy
About damn time!!!!
Dope
Dope AF
V Don is dope
Time for a rhythm roulette replay, one episode where 3 of the best come back.

Beat fire
