“ Resistance” is a song that displays 40’s use of the synths as well.

In the song “ Fireworks“, 40 used faded continuous keys in the background to add that missing sound to complete the mood of the song. Most of the time the pitch of the sound is high but then the volume of that particular sound is faded into the background. They often sound airy and they sound more like synths than keys. 40 uses these sounds often in the background of his productions to create a mood for the beat. This feature is a little bit harder to describe. The most notable use of this feature was displayed inĭrake’s Fancy (produced with Swizz Beatz) Filter Occurs 2:46 40 has used this filter in songs such as “ Light Up“, “ The Calm“, and “ Aston Martin Music“(oh yea he had his hands in that song as well). A prime example is when you are at a club and the music is blazing and then you step outside to smoke or whatever but you can still hear the melody of the beat, that my friend is the effect of a low pass filter, which in this case would be the wall, insulator, etc. For those thats not in the know, a low pass filter basically cuts all of the high’s out of the beat and what’s left are considered the low’s or deep pitched sounds. I believe that 40 has taken the low pass filter feature and used it to highlight the basslines in his production and it helps Drake to “harmonize” on the beats. What attracts me to 40’s productions are his use of some of the most fundamental elements in beat making, to make something that is simple sound so energetic. Pete Rock has his funk sample driven beats, Premo can lay down some scratches, Just Blaze brings the symphony feel to his tracks, and Dilla’s beats were consumed with emotion. Becoming a producer in today’s times require you to build your own sound in some manner. 40 is one of the masterminds behind songs such as “ Successful“, “ Un-thinkable“, & “ Fall For Your Type“. What makes me want to explore his music is the man behind the keys, Noah “40” Shebib. I’m not the biggest Drake fan in the word and I’m not his biggest hater either, but I am a casual listener of his music. With producers like Swizz Beatz, Justice League, Trackmasters, Kanye, and Just Blaze dominating the scenes nowadays it’s easy to ignore the producers that provided the foundation for artist, such as Drake, to build.

These are the guys who dedicated their time to these up-and-comers. Serve with lime wedges alongside.With all of the hype around Wayne, Drake and the rest of the Young Money crew, I feel that we have kind of taken our eye off the producers that made these artist what they are today.
