patten, the London-based producer and artist born Damien Roach, has used generative AI in his practice for years, but in late 2022 he came across something new.

tdf is making 808s big enough to blow your speakers up

tdf’s productions can bait a certain kind of rap fan, down to his drops. Littered across his projects RELIGION and BLUEPRINT are vicious insults sampled from Instagram Live: tdf is a dickrider, tdf fell off, tdf has the Cheese Touch; tdf wants to be Pi’erre Bourne so bad, tdf keeps putting “random ass n***as” on his beats, tdf is “the worst prod in history.” “I don’t really take that stuff seriously, so I just put it in there,” the 20-year-old tells me over the phone. Based in Minnesota, tdf (née Tyrese Jones) mostly collaborates over the Internet.

Tony Seltzer is pushing underground rap into new zones

In November, Tony Seltzer visited Atlanta for the first time, more for business than pleasure. He’d recently been in the studio with Bronx rapper MIKE, where the pair had recorded a song so good it planted the seed for their collaborative album Pinball, released just yesterday.

TSB on executive producing J Hus’s B.A.B.Y., and just what the hell an executive producer does

In an era of the social media drip of snippets and IG Live previews, big ticket album releases right now can feel like the full stop on a conversation that began months (or maybe even years) prior. J Hus is different, though. Through a combination of lengthy absences from the spotlight and a refreshing musical unpredictability, his albums still feel like events that demand more discussion.

BNYX isn’t interested in a type-beat producing career

It’s a little bit past lunchtime on a Friday afternoon, but BNYX (pronounced Benny X) is still firing on all cylinders. He’d just left a studio session with athlete-turned-rapper Showjoe to return home where his wife is listening to our conversation through a Ring camera. “She’s being weird…” he says, eyebrow almost audibly raised and in a manner that suggests he is, in fact, the weird one.

Subjxct 5 is making an old East Coast sound brand new

Spark up a conversation with Subjxct 5 about anything and you’ll be left wondering if you accidentally walked into a heated barber shop debate. The Elizabeth, New Jersey producer has opinions about everything he’s into, and he isn’t afraid to let any of them fly. No Limit? Way too funky for his Cash Money-dominated childhood, but he’s recently started to appreciate No Limit Top Dogg and Beats by the Pound’s thumping basslines.

DJ Crazy on “Shake Dhat,” the Philly Goats, and why regional club is bigger than TikTok

As sample drill took over New York last year, rappers from the Bronx and Queens flocked to the trend’s beats created with elements sourced from obvious (and at times obnoxious) places. For some, hearing yet another song sampling Missy Elliott, Gyptian, or Barrington Levy just wasn’t chaotic enough. “Heartbroken,” a 2021 song from comedian-turned-rapper Bandmanrill and Mcvertt, swerved hard right and took the trend in a frenzied new direction with an infusion of Jersey Club’s pounding drum patterns, layered samples, and insanely high BPMs.

Popstar Benny wants to make your favorite artist get weird

The night before this interview, Popstar Benny was up late putting the final touches on a project. At 4 A.M., he suddenly dropped farrisbenny!, a sample drill mixtape with Bear1boss inspired by the wave of 2000’s hit-flipping that’s taken over New York.
