Luther Monroe - Be Careful What You Wish For

Luther Monroe’s 2nd Variety EP, Be Careful What You Wish For, flaunts yet more ridiculous creativity that will have the genre police chasing after him again!

This time round we’re in for uplifting Bass House, UK Garage transitioning into Orchestral Fusion Breaks, and a Chill Trap production containing full strings sections and Operatic elements too.

I’m a versatile and dynamic electronic music producer of lots of different genres from London in UK. I make all kinds of beats and love to twist things up a bit in all my productions, so that they’re never strictly just one flavour. I’ve been a music addict all my life and have very diverse tastes now.

I’m classically trained from very young in piano and violin, and love to combine organic instrumentation using lots of different real instruments with electronic music hardware and software I’ve become very skilled at using over the years.

On my 4 officially published releases so far, the styles are arabesque liquid drum and bass, nu jazz/broken beats, horror-themed chill trap, bass house, UK garage transitioning into orchestral fusion Breaks, chill Trap with operatic elements, a tech house adaptation of classical Argentinian Tango and lusciously dreamy Dub Techno.

My 13 track debut album entitled “State Of The Art” drops in October 2022; containing even more production styles.

SK No Edit – Backslide

SK No Edit - Backslide

On the release of SK No Edit’s first single “Backslide” (that you can watch the music video of right here, also stream it on Spotify) we caught up with the NYC pop punk rock artist for this exclusive interview. 

When and why did you start making music?

I started writing original music when I was in college in Boston. I toyed with writing songs when I was younger, but I was never serious. I had serious athletic aspirations that culminated in a collegiate cross country and track & field career. Music motivated me through that and helped me channel my anger and pain from earlier life experiences into running. But when a career-ending injury abruptly ended my ability to run competitively, I was left searching for something to fill the hole that sports left. I tapped into the other constant part of my life and identity: music. From there, I learned to engineer and produce, focused on writing genre-bending songs, and started performing around Boston.

What are you aiming for with your music?

My goal has always been to be able to give music my full attention, instead of splitting it with my 9 to 5. Of course I have bigger goals—playing major venues across the country, going platinum, and getting a Grammy, but I’m taking it step by step.

That being said, my most important aim is to connect. Music always helped get me through. I could find a song to express every emotion that I felt. I want to give to others in the same way. I want to speak to the people like me—that grew up different from the societal norm or marginalized in one way or another. I want to speak to perseverance, to love, to the shit we all go through, to finding a way to real justice—all that.

Where did you grow up? How has it influenced the music you make?

I grew up in New Jersey, just west of New York City so we were always tapped in to that music scene. My favorite rappers have often been New York/New Jersey names: 50, Wu-Tang, Lauryn Hill, Redman, Jada, Fat Joe, Remy, Biggie.

Most of my music tastes outside of hip hop started with my family. My grandfather had an operatic, booming bass voice and would sing Irish classics unprompted in restaurants and bars. My mom had Tracy Chapman, David Gray, Green Day, the Chicks, and Fountains of Wayne on repeat in the car. My dad had me memorize lyrics to the Allman Brothers.

I started to find my own music niche in bands like Blink 182 and Linkin Park.

How would you define “making it” in the music industry? What’s the life you can envision reaching through “making it” with your music?

My version of “making it” in music would be having my career as an artist be able to replace my 9 to 5. I want to show out at major venues across the country.

What’s your favorite album of all time?

I don’t have just one favorite album. John Mayer’s Room for Squares, 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Trying, Walking on Cars’ Everything this Way, and Lil Dev’s Life Still Ain’t Fair are definitely among them.

What was your favorite album this year?

This is tough. I’m really loving Pale Waves’ Unwanted.

What was your favorite song this year?

I really fw “Lesson Learned” by Vory.

How often and for how long do you practice?

I hit different modes. I’ll lock in to a zone of supercharged writing and knock out a bunch of songs. Then I’ll get into a rehearsing and perfecting gear. I’m constantly working on music in one way or another. The minute my 9 to 5 breaks, I’m at it.

Former Death Row Records Artist, SKG Links Up with Producer Bobby Blakdout “Big Chains, Big Grill” Reboot’D.

Recently Bobby Blakdout teased a preview of the “Reboot’D Edition” of Big Chains, Big Grill on his Instagram page @dayumbobby which features the vocal stylings of SKG and Paul Wall with production by Bobby Blakdout & B1G L1CK.  The single is set to release on Bobby’s Label Blak’d Out Records but we do not have an exact date at this time.

Former Death Row Records artist SKG and Independent Label Founder & Producer, Bobby Blakdout, recently linked up for announce the official “Reboot’D” remix collection. The official remix collection includes heavy hitting tracks like “Big Chains, Big Grill” which features the Houston Legend Paul Wall and is produced entirely by Bobby Blakdout and Bobby’s friend B1G L1CK.

The Official “Reboot’D” Remix will lead you believe you are listening to a “Pop Smoke” style “drill track” until you notice the buildup which transitions the track into a beautiful yet chaotic rhythm which helps serve as an anthem for the Houston “Donk & Slab” scene.  The heavy sound design in the drop will make you feel like you are “sippin’ purple” while riding through Houston in a bagged Classic Chevrolet Impala sitting on spokes and bouncing off the frame.

Bobby Blakdout & B1G L1CK do their thing behind the boards while rivaling top industry artists like Skrillex and Borgore, while SKG & Paul Wall deliver heavy hitting lyrics that will have you craving more.  The track itself give a vibe of “Purple Lamborghini” but provides a more modern and much heavier drop while some critics have even gone as far as to state that the “Reboot’D” mix of “Big Chains, Big Grill” put songs like Purple Lamborghini to shame.

We expect to hear an announcement of the full list of official remixes soon.

“Big Chains, Big Grill (Reboot’D)” will be available on all streaming platforms via Bobby Blakdout’s label Blak’d Out Records.
