    paper Hip Hop Beatmaking

    I’ve been making hip hop beats and uploading them to Youtube. I cover a few different styles, mainly influenced by producer such as J Dilla, Madlib and Nujabes. I do this incorporating samples from a wide array of sources: jazz, soul, rare groove, bossa nova, electronic music. I also create my own original samples to use in beats. I do all musical and visual duties here - composing the beat, mixing and mastering it, and then creating videos to accompany them. Here are a few examples of my work:

    Here is a video of some of the original samples I have created and used in my beats.

    paper Enter The Dillaverse

    Released in Summer 2025, “Enter The Dillaverse” is a tribute to my favourite producer, J Dilla, and a sonic voyage through my range left-field production, travelling through soulful boom-bap, psychedelic trap, alt-R&B and spacey hip hop. 7 tracks interpolating and reimagining Dilla classics, telling tales of youthful memories, romance, money, city life and dreaming big. This release gathered good reviews, getting plays on BBC Radio and online stations, blog features and additions to Spotify playlists.
    All music here was written, recorded, mixed and mastered myself. I remade the original samples that J Dilla used for his tracks, recreating music from The Jackson 5, Herbie Hancock, The Singer’s Unlimited and more.

    Here are my favourite tracks from it!
