Yo, I'm here to walk you through some of the process behind 
I've known 
When I opened up my DAW I was having a pretty good day so far and a majority of my music reflects how I feel that day.
I was presented with an empty screen but it quickly filled. I created a melody using "Sakura" Which looked a little something like this:
(I don't remember what preset or anything as I lost the original midi for the melody, I had this melody sitting on my hard drive for a while) I threw some reverb on it and equalized it, then moved on.
With that in mind I instantly knew this was gonna be a trap beat.
I found some drums that I though sounded nice and beefy and created a four bar loop that looks like this:
I don't typically program my drums like this, I typically use a step sequencer .... But I thought I'd try something new. I really enjoy trying different techniques when producing/beat making.
I ended up using a completely different sounding hi-hat roll for texture, a kick that clips intentionally, a typical trap snare with plenty of reverb, and a 808 sub to fill up some of the low end.
I had the 808 follow the kick pattern and yet do it's own thing at the same time, I didn't want the 808 and the kick to follow each other, but I didn't want the 808 doing anything that would break the flow of the song.
The hi-hats hit every half a beat, while the hi-hat roles come in and out about four and a half beats to catch the ear.....
when it came to the hook, I wanted to keep it very simple, I just make the kicks drop out so it puts more focus on everything else:
And that's where I started to strain my creativity on this beat, so I decided to wrap it up with a fade out:
I went for more of a modern minimalist approach to the mixing, I didn't want anything to be overwhelming, or empty. I made just enough room for vocals:
Here's what the full project file looks like:
That's when I showed it to
From there it took about three or four days for 
I went through a lot of concepts; my circle is fucked up and I don't really fuck with a lot of friends like I used to, mainly because they want to do their own thing.
I'm honored to be trending, and all I want to do is bring new artists to the table that could never be heard through the use of this platform."
