Father on SoundBetter

Founder of Awful Records providing experimental Southern rap features, hooks, and left-field electronic production.

With 10+ years of experience defining left-field hip-hop and experimental electronic music, my production and vocal lineage spans from early underground Atlanta trap to modern atmospheric synth-science, breakbeats, and trip-hop. Collaborations include Playboi Carti, Lana Del Rey, Machinedrum, Faye Webster, Maxo Kream, and iLoveMakonnen. I provide custom production, top-line vocals/features, mixing, and mastering.

Production styles:
1. Atmospheric Electronic
My current sound. Atmospheric, haunting pads & synthesizers. Deep binaural sub-bass. Intricate micro drums and breaks. [Trip-Hop, Liquid, Dancefloor, DnB, Breakcore, Ambient, Glitch]

2. Minimalist Trap
The style I'm most known for. Dissonant kalimba, piano, stabs & pads, paired with minimalist trap drums, upright bass and 808s. [Cloud Rap, Underground, Experimental & Alternative Hip-Hop]

3. Southern Boom Bap
90's influenced, sample based hip-hop paired with modern southern bounce. With samples ranging from soul & gospel to post-punk and foreign. [Underground, Alternative Hip-Hop & Boom Trap]

Vocal styles:
1. Laid-back - apathetic, hypnotic baritone, deadpan & conversational.
2. Modern-melodic - liquid, pitch-bending, auto-tuned & eccentric.
3. High-energy - punchy, confident, enunciative and articulate.
