Experimental Hip Hop Artist/Producer
I am an experimental hip-hop artist/producer from the Inland Empire, California. I have over 12 years of songwriting experience and over 15 years of production experience. I've released over 13 projects, as well as produced, engineered and ghost-written numerous other projects. I've played with bands and have developed my own wireless, self-DJing hip-hop stage show.
My hip-hop songwriting style encompasses extremely dense multi-syllable rhyming, metaphors and word play. I also incorporate complex themes and story telling. My overall style would be considered experimental.
My hip-hop production style encompasses heavy use of dense laying and sampling. I also incorporate loose, free form drums of varying styles. My overall style would be considered experimental.
I have over 3 years of teaching experience in all of the previously mentioned subjects.

I like how the Author goes in depth and gives plenty of examples in way you can understand thoroughly.
For someone who is new to beatmaking and song writing this was EXCELLENT! It gave me more clarity and understanding of how to structure lyrics to a rap. I feel like I have more control and I can give better direction to the creative process. AWESOME!
It was decent. It could've gone deeper into some specifics, however he has other classes for those specifics and this course does a good job of moving through the content to get you primed.
Some of the content could be a LOT more in depth and a little longer.
Very well articulated and explained information.
