Producers and beatmakers are arguably one of the most important assets to hip hop, laying down the canvas for rappers to work on, often shaping the sound and tone of individual records right from the get-go. On Raja’s Sun, iblss, a producer from Brooklyn, NY, shows us exactly how he has mastered the concept of creating a record with an exact sound and mood in mind, no matter who hops on the beats to do their part. The record is equal parts loud and quiet, with iblss’ use of reverb and spacious, substantial samples that make a grande entrance that stays and fills every empty space of the track. With the help of notable artists such as Quelle Chris, AKAI SOLO, Zeroh, Nappy Nina and more, iblss shows us that producer records are not to be taken lightly, and proves his place as a true master of his craft. Raja’s Sun is dedicated to iblss’ late four-legged companion, may he rest in peace.
