Killah Trakz On the Making Of “For The Love”
What was the creative process like for this particular "For The Love?"
Once I heard the beat, the lyrics wrote itself. It’s a spiritual process for when I make records. I don’t think, I’m guided by the universe and everything comes together organically. Sort of how an actor becomes his character.
Can you talk about the recording and production process for "For The Love?"
EsK is the architect of the production and we’re both students of the analog realm. My home studio has a bunch of gear at its disposal. Seeing how records were doing in the golden era, I’ve purchased every single piece of equipment to recreate that sonic eloquence.
How do you feel this single represents your artistic identity?
It just represents my feeling of not conforming to standards. Not allowing myself to be held responsible for being and sounding like what’s out and then fade away into obscurity.
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in music?
My little brother ( rip Brian Goode ) was the person who introduced me to music. He was like basically my A&R putting me on to what was relevant and buzzing.
What are some of the biggest challenges you have faced as a musician, and how did you overcome them?
The biggest challenge is finances. Having the finances to continue elevating. Unfortunately, I’m competing against majors now and have to present myself like one and move as one.
I’m still figuring out the overcoming part as each release is a new budget. A new campaign. Just have to keep working and investing.
