!llmind – “Narcotic Nautilus”
March 26, 2014
One of my favorite producers in recent years & the creator of the ‘Boom Trap’ sound, !llmind, drops a dope ass instrumental gem that samples the Bob James jazz classic ‘Nautilus’. Check the track & peep what the ‘ill’ producer had to say about this beat below…..
“This was one of the 1st “BoomTrap” beats I’ve ever made (created almost 3 years ago).
Since then, it’s gone through many transitions, different song ideas with a handful of different artists. The only other person who has this beat is my homie Just Blaze. You may or may not remember him playing this beat for Blackthought to freestyle over, on the Combat Jack Show last year.
I wanted to finally put this beat out, in its rawest form, for the masses to hear.
Why? Because, f*ck it.
Let’s keep this in the streets of NYC.” – !llmind

Playing “Rhythm Roulette” With !llmind… and Patti LaBelle? (Video)
August 8, 2013
The blindfold goes on, and NYC producer !llmind goes in! Picking Patti LaBelle, QuarterHash, and Freddie Hubbert records… dude goes to work creating some track magic! Rough going at first (you’ll see); but he pulls out the banger in the end. !llmind is one of my favorite producers these days. I don’t think there’s anyone who can successfully fuse the boom bap & trap worlds together so effectively & consistently.
