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
