know, but I'm locked in with my guy Sino Goode from Florida, Maxime Dufour
out of Russia and a few others we just gotta make it official. Stay tuned.
The Beat Yard: What type of beats bring out the best in what you do?
Ya Boi L.I.V.E.: It depends but I like beats with not a lot
going on as far as sounds and samples etc. If it's dope its dope but i
don't wanna compete with too much level wise so my words & flow stand
out and be heard as clear as possible.
The Beat Yard: What types of sounds do you like hearing in certain tracks and instrumentals?
Ya Boi L.I.V.E.: I like piano, violin type sounds or horns like sax or trumpet maybe a guitar riff.
The Beat Yard: Let's talk about your new single, "What Up B**ch?", how would you describe the beat on this song and who produced the track?
Ya Boi L.I.V.E.: "What Up Bitch" is my new single Produced by E.N.O.N
off my latest project IwasBorn2bSeen. The song and video for it is a
fun, sexy, energy driven type of vibe. You gotta see it. It's fire! We streaming
on all platforms. Tap in.
The first verse I speak on the type of woman that may be considered a Bitch. During
the second verse I explain 2 women or anyone who finds the word
offensive. Why I chose to use the word throughout the record and during
the third verse I sprinkle in some jewels to make you think.The Beat Yard: Are you in the market to purchase any beats right now? Are you looking for new beats in general, if so, how can producers or beatmakers reach out to you and what are you looking for?
Ya Boi L.I.V.E.: Yea like I said I'm looking for new vibes always. If you got some fire for me send it to 631Live@gmail.com
The Beat Yard: Who would you say are your three producers? Doesn't matter if they are well known or underground....
Ya Boi L.I.V.E.: Hit Boy, Juicy J, DJ Premier.
The Beat Yard: Do you make beats, if so how would you describe your sound? Also What software or hardware do you use if you make your own beats if you do so?
Ya Boi L.I.V.E.: Nah I don't make beats technically as far as pushing buttons but I do produce in the form of ideas and have some one help bring it to life
so you could say co producer I guess, but I can hear sounds in my head it's
crazy word.
The Beat Yard: What's your process for constructing a song?
Ya Boi L.I.V.E.: It depends on a lot of different things but a lot of times I would
take the title of the beat whatever the producer mighta called it and
take that name and use it for direction not always intentionally but it
works for me that's for sure...
The Beat Yard: What's the difference between a producer and a beatmaker in your opinion?
Ya Boi L.I.V.E.: A producer will most times have an idea or hook maybe if not a whole
song for an artist when they present the track to the artist as for a
beatmaker it's more like just making beats and that's it hot or not and
the artist get it and do what they do.
The Beat Yard: What would you like to leave our readers with? Is there anything you would like to plug or mention that we haven't covered already?
Ya Boi L.I.V.E.: Thanks to The Beat Yard for taking the time to take the time. I appreciate it. Make sure to stay in tune with me. Subscribe on youtube to my channel: Ya Boi L.I.V.E Follow me on Ig @Livewire631
