Artist Spotlight: Seven (ACM Records)

Bio From The Official ACM Records Site:  You probably remember 7 as a lucky number. Yet Seven is \'lucky\' to be alive pursuing his dreams as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. His near death experience from head trauma from a tragic accident in 1995, brought about the name when he was in the hospital for only seven days. 

Seven has always had a love for all music. As a youth, he hung around many family members and friends in the music industry, but his true interest came about when he was in Oakland in 1993. His uncle Pete Wilson was producing a record for his group at the time and brought Seven in on one of the recording sessions. Pete had him rap on a track, which came to be Seven\'s first recording. Seeing the process of making a record right before his eyes intrigued Seven ten times more with music. 

He worked with many unknown and unsigned recording artists, producers, and musicians until he got burned once too many. Chance, another uncle of his, approached him with the game plan of owning his own record label. Therefore Roccaz Records was born. They recruited a producer/friend Keith Sterling to help with Seven\'s debut album Roccaz Records. 

Together they created 18 tracks in 3 months. All original music, two guys, no egos, no B.S. When asked what makes him different from the rest, he says, \'music lives forever, and my goal is to be %231, nothing more, nothing less\'.

5 Reasons Artists Should Use Beats from Mr. Boom Boom Bang

   

If you are an artist looking for beats from some of the hottest up and coming beatmakers crafting some of the craziest tracks in music today, then you should definitely consider working with Mr. Boom Boom Bang!  Here is The Beat Yard's top 5 reasons artists should use beats from the talented Mr. Boom Boom Bang!!


1.  All Original:  Mr. Boom Boom Bang composes his own original music.  No samples, no looping old 1970s soul music and just adding basic drums to the background, none of that.  The powerful compositions all come from Mr. Boom Boom Bang's noggin.


2.  He Could Do Your Hook/Chorus:  If you need a catchy, and memorable hook to go along with the beat but can't quite come up with anything good enough on your own?  Mr. Boom Boom Bang has that covered 100%.  Most of the hits you hear on the radio these days have nothing on the powerful chants and sing-a-long melodies found on pretty much every one of Mr. Boom Boom Bang's singles.  If you don't believe us, just listen to the songs featured on the artist/producers previous street releases The Big Bang 2 and The Rebuild Mixtape!


3.  He also writes Song:  Need help with some of the lyrics?  Nothing wrong with a strong ghostwriter getting behind you.


4.  He Produced the Strip Club Anthem of 2013:  Mr. Boom Boom Bang had the strip clubs buzzing, the dancers sliding up those poles taking it all off and the men everywhere throwing them dollars all across the South East (especially in Atlanta, GA), with the song "Freaky Noize".  Bloggers, critics and DJs across the globe were calling this hot single "The Strip Club Anthem of 2013" and so it was.  Listen to it here at

Beat Talk: Rhyme Scheme (Interview)

Take a look at our newest interview with West Coast based emcee and Beat Yard featured artist Rhyme Scheme!  In this interview Rhyme Scheme talks about beats, favorite producers and more!  Read all about it below....



The Beat Yard:  How would you describe your sound as an artist?  

Rhyme Scheme:  My sound is from the 90's era.  I would describe it as real hip-hop.  I like to speak about reality and flow on beats that can keep your attention.

 

The Beat Yard:  What type of beats bring out the best in what you do?

Rhyme Scheme:  I really love when a beat speaks to me.  It has to be a variation of instruments to create an irresistible sound.  I really love west coast beats but some east coast beats allow me to tell a story.

 

 

The Beat Yard:  Who are some of your favorite producers?

Rhyme Scheme:  Some of my favorite producers are Dr. Dre, J. Cole, DJ J Green, KZR Beats, The Alchemist, Kanye West, & Daz from the Dogg Pound.

 

 

 

The Beat Yard:  Who are some of the producers you've worked with so far?

Rhyme Scheme:  I have worked with KZR Beats, Nabeyin, Jee Juh, DJ J Green and DJ ZTRFKR.

 

 

The Beat Yard:  Who are some beatmakers that you'd like to work with in the future and why?

Rhyme Scheme:  I would like to work with Dr. Dre & DJ Premier. They both have a very unique sound with an old school approach.  Kanye West is also a very soulful producer.

 

 

The Beat Yard:  Do you buy beats?

Rhyme Scheme:  Yes. I like to buy beats.  You never know which song could be a hit.  So it's better to have some type of beat contract with the producer.

 

 

The Beat Yard:  What is your process for selecting beats?

Rhyme Scheme:  I usually set aside an entire day and run through dozens of beats from many producers. When I hear a potential song, I write the name of the producer and beat down for future references. Sometimes I will buy the beat on the spot and record the track right away.  The beat to my single "4 Letters" was an instant marriage.

 

The Beat Yard:  Do you prefer to be in the studio with the producer, or would you rather them mail tracks to you?

Rhyme Scheme: Both processes work for me. Sometimes having a producer in the studio could enhance the creative process.

 

The Beat Yard:  How would you describe the beat on your latest single "4 Letters" for those that may haven't heard it yet, and what made you select it?

Rhyme Scheme:  The beat to "4 Letters" instantly caught my attention. Before the entire beat finished, I already had a song created.  The lyrics were 100% freestyle because the beat spoke to me.

 

 

The Beat Yard:  Is there anything else you would like to plug?  Any shout outs?

Rhyme Scheme:  I would like to give a shout out to "The Giant Blast", KZR Beats, DJ J Green, Victoree, and you, "The Beat Yard" for this interview. One Love!
