INST: Let the world know who you are and where you're from? REZ: My name is Randy "Rez TheSilverback" Nizer. I'm an 18 year old Mc/beat maker from Manchester, New Hampshire and I just love the hip hop culture! P.S., I say beat maker since I don't PRODUCE other genres. I'm strictly hip hop as of now. INST: Who have you worked with & how long have been beat making or producing? REZ: I have worked with a bunch of people; Artist like 7oddz from the Chi, Resolute & J-Merk, Coal, Taboo & Grim from NY's Dead Rabbits. Currently working on building with Godilla & Burke The Jurke. And believe it or not I have only been making beats for about a year. Maybe a little less. INST: How did you get started beatmaking-producing? REZ: I have always loved hip hop from every aspect, DJing, Rapping, and Producing. But I mainly started because I have always had a visions Of my unique sound but being able to keep it Boom Bap & Gritty. Another reason was because I never had enough money to buy beats. So I went after it myself. INST: Of all of the artists that you've worked with, do you have a favorite artist that you work well with? REZ: Like I said before, I have only been doing this for about a year. So to say a favorite artist as of right now, I cant say. But everyone I work with slay tracks, so they are all my favorite!
INST: What equipment and or software are you using?
REZ: Fruity Loops, vinyl & a turntable. That's it! INST: Do you use or prefer sampling over playing live instruments? REZ: I love to sample and sample anything I get my hands on, but I would love to use live instruments or work with someone who does! INST: Who influenced your style? REZ: Just my peers and love for the music. I always hear beats I really dig and never know who the producer is. Names don't really impress me. Its what kind of product you are putting out. But Alchemist is definitely (1) of my top influences along with the obvious Premier. Domingo is also another legend I look up to and have the honor of building with him! INST: Do you ever see yourself quitting or retiring from beat making? REZ: Only when my hands fall off or if I go deaf. Or both. INST: Do you feel that there a difference between being a producer and being a beat maker? REZ: Yes, there is a very big difference. For instance, Domingo is a PRODUCER. He can go from Hip Hop to R&B to probably Folk if he really wanted to [Haha]. I am a beat maker, I just make beats. But that is where I do best at until I feel the need to grow into other genres & try new things. Nothing wrong with being a beat maker though. INST: Any tips, tricks, or advice that you'd like to share? REZ: Only advice I really have, Is be true to YOU & do what you feel is right. If you truly believe in your soul what you are doing is right. Then that's all there is to it. Cliche I know but its the truth. INST: Where can we hear your work? REZ: You can find my work just about anywhere. You can google me or find me on these sites. Soundcloud.com/rezinhiphop Youtube.com/rezin603 RezTheSilverback.bandcamp.com

Today’s Producers Spotlight Shines On: Pri The Honeydark

Pri: I started learning how to produce back in early 2000. My current production focus is on film and television, which include licensing placements with MTV & Viacom.
My son’s father, Afrobluu, was a DJ and producer (We started as a hip hop group and well…..you know…lol…a child was born). We had a home filled with crates and equipment. One day I asked him to teach me how to DJ (I’m not a DJ now, so obviously that didn’t work…lol), then he purchased a Tascam Porta One and that became the very first piece of equipment I learned to use. Back then you had to double up on tracks in that machine like a motha’ to create a song! However, I stuck it out and then moved on to chopping samples in the ASR and EPS keyboards with a Protools set-up. By that time I had found my own style, which tends to be very dark…hence the name “Pri the Honeydark”, and it was on from there!
I like working with my crew The Anomolies, which includes Invincible, Helixx C, Big Tara and DJ Kuttin’ Kandi. We are an all female Hip Hop collective. Each individual has a unique style that challenges me to work in various genres.
![1010519_10201301724250563_1091749699_n[1]](https://instrumology.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/1010519_10201301724250563_1091749699_n1.jpg?w=300&h=300)
Pri: After the ASR and EPS, I moved on to Propellerhead Reason. I found out about it by accident after bumping into someone who used it while I was shopping for new equipment at Rogues Music Store in NYC. At that time the Reason software was kind of low key. I had never heard of it, but once I used it for the first time, I knew I found what I had been seeking to go further and I have been using it ever since. My keyboard trigger is an M-Audio 61 Key. I also have Logic, but rarely use it. I tried the drum machine set up, but I just feel more comfortable playing keys. I also use loaded midi keys to play keyboard drums, which I use a lot to make certain tracks sound more live. I hope ONE day, I will have a large enough space to store, learn and play on a real drum set….sigh.
Afrobluu taught me, so he is the first influence. The next individuals that influenced me the most were from our past. A few of those influences would be Jimi Hendrix (I would have been a Hendrix groupie in my past life), Etta James, Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and Bob Marley. Those are some of the individuals I listen to mostly for an inspirational story within my music. Nina Simone as well. As far as hip hop is concerned, I have been inspired by producers such as, Dr Dre, DJ Premier, J Dilla, Rick Rubin, Diamond D, Da Beatminerz Just Blaze, Large Professor, Buckwild, Prince Paul, RZA, Pete Rock, Easy Mo bee, Denaun Porter, Freddie Foxxx, Alchemist etc…..etc…..the list goes on and on. My style is Hard and Dark (sounds like a really interesting movie…lol). I am mostly influenced by people who create that dark emotion within their tracks, but aren’t limited to them.

Today’s Producer Spotlight Shines On: Spooks McGhie!
Posted: March 18, 2013 in Beat Maker, BPM, Crate Diggers, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Loops and Samples, ProducersTags: 9th Wonder, Alchemist, Beat Battles, Beat-Maker, Beats Per Minute, Boi Wonder, BPM, Culture, Damu The Fudge Monk, DITC, Dj Premier, Dj Statik Selektah, Dubstep, Dungeon Family, Electronic press kit, Erik Sermon, Hhip-Hop, Hip-Hop, J.

Spooks McGhie is a beatmaker-Producer from New Jersey. Spooks caught my attention one day while I was listening to random music on facebook and thought to myself that I’d like to interview this beatmaker. I then sent Spooks a message to his inbox about being the first featured beatmaker for my newly launched instrumology.com website. Spooks responded by saying thank you but felt that he wasn’t ready for that title of being the first to be featured so he fell back until he felt that the time was right. We kept in touch via facebook and soundcloud and during this time, I’ve watched Spooks and his production grow and ganer a huge following. His persona is like everybodies favorite party starter and his tracks are very creative. Some tracks are collaborated with his wife making this a perfect combination. Beatmakers-Producers, and Music Lovers, Meet Spooks McGhie!
INST: Let the world know who you are and where you’re from?
SPM: Hey hey young world. I am known as Spooks McGhie Coming at you from the Tri-State area, Brick City New Jersey AKA New York’s illegitimate brother.
INST: Who have you worked with & how long have been beat making or producing?
SPM: Wow. I have been composing for a long time. Always had a knack for sound, didn’t get on any equipment until I was about fifteen, so I guess it’s safe to say 11 years and counting. As far as people I have worked with, I have had some ridiculous setbacks. So I am not at the level I anticipated I would be musically by the time I was 25. But I can rattle off a couple names you may or may not recognize: ChanzizR and BlackScientist of Wi?Not Entertainment, Webbafied, Wino Willy, Badweather, D’Angelo Mack, Wil-EZ, Nzero NZ of Air Haze, Hi-Que, FranksWear, Wheredough?, Collin Moody, Dompollitt Aka Dolla Sign Dott, Gary Adams, Shannon Gillespy, Corr Kendricks, Jamaal Brooks, Droptop Harv, James Gibbs III, Black Astro, Oski of Iron Hogs, Keen Arthur, Anonimuz – you guys don’t know who the hell I’m talking about, do you? That’s okay. You will know ALL of those names soon. I only fox with the best. (HA).
INST: What equipment and or software are you using?
SPM: I use a mixture of hardware and software. I am forced to keep it simple due to my hardships. But before I lost all my equipment I love love LOVED incorporating live instrumentation and organic sounds that I collect with a high quality portable audio recorder. As far as programs, I will forever be a Fruity Loops head. Right now I’m in the rebuilding process, so all I’m using is an SM58 and MXL 990 microphone hooked up to a windows computer through a TASCAM audio interface and an M-AUDIO Axiom-25 USB Midi controller. I also use this old ass YAMAHA PSR-47 if I want to get more keyboard action than the two octave M-Audio device. These are things that were donated to me by fellow musicians who saw that I was struggling and didn’t want me to stop producing because they believe in my talent. If that’s not real love, I don’t know what is.
SPM: Beatboxing. In New Jersey, I had to walk and ride public transit everywhere. I would always beatbox, but I would never be able to get these beats in my head to sound the way I imagined them. I had to find a way to get people to hear what I was hearing and the beatbox wasn’t cutting it. Someone gave me a cracked copy of fruity loops and the rest is history.
INST: Do you use or prefer sampling over playing live instruments?
SPM: I said this before, I love live instruments. But I don’t have money for such things. The only reason I really got into sampling is because I didn’t have a way to record instruments the way I wanted them to sound. But because I was forced to do that, I gained a deep love and understanding with the art of sampling. Since the two mean so much to me, I would love to be able to mix the two seamlessly in the future.
INST: Who influenced your style?
SPM: WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE!? It’s so hard for me to pick a list of people without rambling. But let’s just say the obvious, Dr. Dre, Timbaland, DangerMouse, Kanye West, Mr DJ of Outkast, Mannie Fresh Scott Storch to name a few. And the least obvious, Stevie Wonder, Freddie Mercury, Tenacious D, George Clinton, Quincy Jones, Cee Lo Green- have I confused you yet?
INST: Do you ever see yourself quitting or retiring from beat making?
SPM: No. Why would you even say such a thing?
INST: Is there a difference between being a producer and being a beat maker?
SPM: Yes. I don’t even know why we started calling ourselves producers, because the literal definition of a music producer doesn’t always imply that they compose or arrange anything. Sometimes a producer just gets everyone together and tells them how to play his vision. A beat maker is sitting in a dark room with a computer and an MPC or some other device reshaping and twisting sounds from all over to create a newer and fresher sound. A producer is a manager, a beat maker is a one man band.
INST: Any tips, tricks, or advice that you’d like to share?
SPM: If you’re really interested in being in the industry, I suggest you do two things that I have yet to do and have hindered my success and skill level. 1. Take an audio course mixing, mastering, production, Protools, sounds all that. The reason my music sounds so rough, is because I didn’t do this. YET. 2. take MUSIC courses. Pick up an instrument. Don’t just learn it, MASTER it. And don’t just learn the instrument, learn music theory in general. Dabble with other instruments even if you aren’t comfortable playing them. Learn all the instruments you can, but master one. Don’t be a slave to the synthesizer, find a way to incorporate real sounds into your music, real instruments and real drums that no one can mimic because they are yours.
INST: Where can we hear your work?
SPM: I’m on soundcloud all the doodah day. So you can definitely check me out there soundcloud.com/spooksmcghie. I also have a mixtape of beats out on Datpiff, thatcrack, hotnewhiphop (pick yourpoision) called “Beats N Shyt” So check that out. In the meantime, here are some sets I made with my favorite beats.
