The Tampa Bay Area is filled with so many amazing producers who craft the sounds of some of our favorite artists. I decided to shed some light on some of my favorite producers hailing from both sides of the bay. On this first installment we are going to look at Monk Noise one of the 727s up and coming producers.
Monks early beats feature more sample based production over hard hitting drums, but more recently the homie has been dabbling into more electronic and string based production, focusing more on the instruments rather than the sample.
Monk went for a darker tone on what I call “The Cauldron”. I dig the bone chilling sounds that make up the beat, but it’s the hard hitting 808s and Hi Hats that take it to the next level. Really trying to get Renald Bart, Sage The Fox, Dying Out South, and Richie Guapo on this joint for Jit$ Never Wxrry.
This cloud rap inspired track is a banger for sure. I call it “Gigan” because it sounds like the monster Gigan from Godzilla traveling through space. This beat was made for Drogotdoe, hopefully we can make it happen for Jit$ Never Wxrry.
“Coliseum” is on some epic shit. The somber horns that fill the beat take us back in time, until the hard hitting drums wake us back up. I have Deleteeglitch, 9henom, YZM, and Heyeyella in mind for this one. Will you enter the coliseum?
“Bowl O Veggies” gives me that DOOM “Special Herbs” vibes. I would like to see Monk dabble into more production like this, just a chill vibe. I could see Junkyrd on this track it fits his style.
Back on his sample tip, Monk taps in with the great Sade for the sample on “Wings Of Desire”. You can just let the instrumental just ride on this one. Not sure who I would like to see on this one, maybe Deleteeglitch & Skully Cipriani.
Dropping beats everyday Monk Noise is one of the most consistent producers in the Burg, sharpening his sword with each beat. Be on the look out for Jit$ Never Wxrry, the homie will have a couple placements on there.
