If I Were A Rapper

Hosted by Hey Assante Hey on Loud Speakers Networks

In Spring 2019, I was approached by Assante from The Friend Zone to co-produced, engineer and edit his latest show (at the time) If I Were A Rapper. His vision for the show was to make it an audio variety show with all the bells and whistles. I was down for the challenge as it forced me to sharpen my audio tech skills. That year we cranked out a few practice runs, talked marketing & strategy and with Loud Speakers Network approval we launched the show in May 2019 . We released 12 episodes. I am so thankful that I had this opportunity as it pushed me to familiarize myself with Adobe Audition and other kinds of audio tools.

Ep. 2 Air Drake ft. Kid Fury and Dustin Ross

This was one of my favorite episodes, remember when Drake revealed his very own “jet” lol. Trust, I had a ball recording this episode with Kid Fury from The Read and Assante’s The Friends Zone co-host, Dustin Ross. As the recording engineering I had to overcome some technical difficulties during this session, but what’s new? We had a ball working on the skits/commercials we created titled, “Air Drake.”

But to be honest, I get the most joy from working on this project when I was alone with just me, the DAW and the sound waves. It took about 2-4 hours to record these episodes and about 7 - 12 hrs to edit them. Being the sound designer and engineer gave me the opportunity the sit down with Dwayne Crawford and pick-up some sound editing tricks on Adobe Audition.
