Shownotes
The crew sits down with Stonez, one of Dallas's most respected producers, breaking down how he climbed to the top of the beat game and what it takes to stay relevant in a competitive production landscape. He shares real talk about working with major artists, navigating the music industry politics, and keeping his sound fresh while staying true to his roots. The conversation digs into the business side of production—publishing, royalties, and how producers actually eat in 2024.
Beyond production, Stonez opens up about his rap career aspirations and why he decided to focus on beats, plus the crew chops it up about the BFG linkup and what that connection means for Dallas's sound moving forward. They discuss the current state of the Dallas rap scene, who's pushing the culture forward, and how the city's producers and rappers are building something bigger than just tracks. Real insight into the grind, the hustle, and what separates the real ones from the clout chasers in the game.
