Swizz sent the hook along with Kanye’s verse. In a whole separate session Kanye laid his verse in the studio that Swizz and Ryan Leslie were attending with him. They weren’t sure if Kanye was going to do the track. Originally the song was supposed to be Banks & Fabolous. I am truly excited for all of the success of the record so far.Ģ4: Did you know about all the features that were going to be on the record? A week later I had received another call stating the one of the beats I sent would be his next single.
#Whats the drake fans that ran up on joe budden twitter full
I was satisfied with the placements but the excitement kicked into full gear. A week later I got a call saying that Banks picked out 4 of them for the album. The beat I did was the song On My Way Co-Produced with Dilemma but when I heard Banks was working on another studio album I reached out to Tony G (A&R of G-Unit). I had a beat on Banks mix-tape Cold Summer in 08. Once I’m satisfied with the project I add the flatline, verifying to myself that it is complete.Ģ4: How did you first connect with Lloyd Banks for Start It Up? Once I have that down I will lay my drums. Ill lay the entire beat with the melodies and every part of the instrumentation. I’ll tackle pop in a little bit.Ģ4: How do you approach making your beats, do you start with the drums first or melody? I want to work with Beyonce, Keri Hilson, & Rihanna and really expand my talents into the world of R&B. I got some work over here for Chris Brown. I am trying to work with Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj. Since Start It Up, I got in contact with Fabolous, Kanye West, Swizz Beats, & Ryan (Leslie) I have some work on 50 Cent’s next album. Watch me.Ģ4: Who are some other artists you’re trying to work with in the future? I make hits right now but I am in the midst of making history. I am considered a producer because I don’t just put sounds together, I paint pictures with them. Oh… and don’t forget that flatline!!Ģ4: Do you consider yourself a producer or a beat maker and explain why for either answer? Everything I do is like its own platform for my work.Ģ4: What is distinctive about a Cardiak production? Take ‘em to war sounds nothing like Overtime. I mean, Start it up sounds nothing like Unexplainable. I am very versatile with every beat that I do. I think my style of beats is really aggressive. Anything that catches my ear inspires me to create something new.Ģ4: How would you describe your production style? I am inspired by all music and musicians. After I began to perfect my craft I knew that is what I wanted to do full-time and make a career out of it.Ģ4: What other producers, songwriters and/or artists do you see as your primary inspirations?
Well before producing, I was an artist myself so I was always in need of beats and started to make my own. I have worked with artist such as 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, Fabolous, Freeway, Meek Mill, Havoc (of Mobb Deep), Mike Knox, Red Cafe, Young Money, Joe Budden, Swizz Beats, Kanye West, Lil Boosie, Scarface, Ryan Leslie, etc.Ģ4: What made you want to produce compared to being an artist or singer, manager, etc? I produced Start it up, Take em to war, and Unexplainable for Lloyd Banks, Overtime by Lola Monroe Ft Trina, Bout Me by Ace Hood. Dre and Just Blaze.Ģ4: For those who may not be familiar with who you are, can you lease some of the records and artists you’ve produced for? I like certain artist but as far as inspiration goes I would credit Dr. artist that inspired me? I think I am more so inspired by producers than artist.
So by 09 I was quite established as a producer so there was many more artist but once I got the Lloyd Banks placement I believe the rest was history. That all seemed to happen in about a year. Afterwards more work came with Freeway, Lloyd Banks, & Ace Hood. With that under my belt I would say it was easier to get more people to listen. Eventually Budden’s people got back to me. I would go on twitter and follow A&Rs and when they posted emails to submit beats to, I would flood the emails with my beats. I would say I got into the industry in ’08 with the Joe Budden track (The Soul). Whats going on y’all? My name is Cardiak.Ģ4: Can you briefly describe your history about how you got into the industry and who were some of the artists that inspired you? 24: Introduce yourself to everyone that doesn’t already know who you are.
