Jahlil Beats

For this episode of Rhythm Roulette, Mass Appeal linked with Philly’s own Jahlil Beats. Jahlil flips a track off of Roxy Music’s Country Life. Watch him add his flavor to it above and then OT The Real spit some bars on top of the finished product.

Jahlil Beats came through the office the other week, and sat down for a quick interview to let us know what exactly he’s been up to these days, as he’s been a bit absent on the producer circuit. Following the interview, Jhalil took the time to list off his Top 10 producers of all time, offering a reason for each. For a look into the mind of Jahlil and what he likes in a producer, watch the video above. He gives plenty of credit to the OGs that came before him and influenced his sound, from Jermaine Dupri to Swizz Beatz to Mannie Fresh, and more. He gives us a glimpse at his knowledge of the game too.

Jahlil Beats talks about working with Meek Mill, Curren$y, and Bobby Shmurda. Jahlil Beats has plenty of hits under his belt, but one song he definitely wasn’t expecting to blow up was Bobby Shmurda’s “Hot Nigga”, namely because he didn’t know it existed until the hype started to build around it. In an exclusive interview with HNHH, Jahlil explained how Shmurda ended up getting on his beat, as well as revealing that he’s working on an EP for the young New York artist. He also touches on his work with Meek Mill, and the contributions he made to his upcoming album, Dreams Worth More Than Money. Finally he speaks on his solo album, which will feature guest appearances from Problem, among others.
