But for my sound and work flow in hindsight the live was a better choice although I have thought many times that I would have better off just with my 4000 and a dope sound card, I just love being able to write outside or because I work out of town , most weeks, I can take my setup with me.

My sound is differnt than the two of you. I want that lush sound but also aggressive slamming drums. For my sound I think I’m headed in the right direction with my gear. I have everything I need just need to master it all.


you have a 4000 from dj abilities? that’s crazy. eyedea and him really made some awesome **** same with dj abilities mixes that dude is dope. that beat you have in your signature reminds me of funkadelics maggot brain. eddie hazel is dope as ****. and who’s talkin about very mean? is that homie the clown? :lol:


I had one. Sold it some time ago. N vet thought I would.

Yea I’m originally from Milwaukee but I left some time ago. Did a lot with the local music scene there and met a lot of people..

I had some encounters with abilities over the years but I won’t talk about him too much. I dont really know him like that. He was an inspiration for sure but besides rumors and hearsay, I don’t have much else to say. Was pretty solid in my book, wish he was still doing his thing. Last I heard he was djing weekly at a few clubs in milwaukee.

Mean was Charlie Manson talking and I don’t recall the loop in the background it was like 2012 I made that. Just some dumb shit I made back in the 4000/ 404 days it was on a pretty cool tape from what I recall.

eddie hazel from funkadelic does a guitar solo on maggot brain.. called “maggot brain” it was so dope i bought it on wax i’m glad i did because anywhere else it sounds like shit but not on the lp. actually now that i got this mixer i’m going to blast that shit before bed time. i’m sure my neighbors in this apt love me but **** em we live above bars in the downtown district. so i always have the krk’s blastin

I love that old east coast sound but it’s not what I write.

I know you can do that sound, Ive listened to a lot of your tracks.

For his sound, if you ever listened I think it’s best he work with what he’s got and just master the back end of things. If you haven’t already check out salts sound cloud, he’s got some dope beats.

I think Salt got talent with the beats, his mixes are spot on, especially the drums. He just needs to find his inner self and embrace it.

Danoc already found his inner and doing what he loves. As well as Cockdiesel, who is creating constant experiments away from the norm.

I guess I found myself when I became Ill Green. In the beginning, it was just music mixing. Playing two tapes or vinyl at the sametime to create something new, then it got to the beats, but up-to-date, at-the-time, it wasn't even boom bap, that name was coined later in the 2000's. I'd sample a drum break in the Gemini DS8 and play sounds from an old Yamaha PSR-19 on top. Then after, I did Trap music for 6 years until I was bitten by radioactive mosquitos.

LOL awhhhhh man LOL I can't say nothing but laugh at that one LOL You should be a new Marvel hero called RADMOS, half Radioactive and half Mosquito LOL

Yes it all came together for me when my soul started connecting with the music, it became spiritual and I became very focus. learning the the science and sound and especially bass, it became a winner for me, then making money. Those that don't make music will never understand the mind of a music producer. And with that you have to find equality, math and balance. Everything in existence requires math, once you understand that, you are on Green, no pun intended. LOL

:lol: you guys are crazy! :lol:

I got very sick with dengue, lost so much weight, from 275 lbs down to 167 lbs in 2 weeks, I almost died. I prayed myself well and didn't wanna do Trap anymore. I just did it because that was selling for these labels. I just broke out and rebelled.

I'm fine now, so we can laugh at it, I don't mind :D

It was something new and no treatment existed until after a year later I got better. I always been the sick child though, had everything twice, from chicken pox to strep throat. Since I recovered from dengue, I never been sick again, maybe a cold or flu here and there but nothing to be a week or two out of work. Even after recovery, I looked like a crackhead and pale green. So I made an album called Ill Green because of it, people thought that was my name and so it was done.
