Day: December 24, 2015

When you talk of beasts behind the boards, !llmind’s name rings bells. Not one to chase trends, the producer has focused on refining his own sound and found success experimenting within a framework where the freedom to create reigns supreme. While his highly coveted kits have become a staple in his production, he’s never tied to a specific snare or kick, but rather a vibe that becomes lucid after listening to the range of his work. On the latest episode of 5 Under Five, !llmind takes a look back at 2015 and recounts his highlights, which include co-producing “You & The 6” on Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and scoring a project for Star Wars. He was relatively tight-lipped on camera about what he has in the works for 2016, but after we stopped rolling he hinted at a few surprises to come. Ever on the humble, he’s likely downplaying what’s in store. However, he didn’t hesitate to show love to up-and-coming producers he has an eye on, as well as his favorite beats from 2015.
