Anyone can produce one really good song. Or write one really good book. Or cook one really good meal. But doing something well again and again? That’s real talent. The best artists are consistently great without being repetitive. Consistency is the difference between saying “he made a good song” and “he makes good songs.”
I know I’m not really saying anything new here; it’s just an observation. An artist’s canon is always a work in progress. Make one awesome thing awesome and you’ll be forgotten. Creativity doesn’t stop.
Leg-No
There are a lot of “regulars” in my inbox, people who keep sending me stuff on a monthly/weekly basis. Many of them are talented, but Leg-No is hands down the best. Every time I get an e-mail from him I know it’s gonna be something dope. I love that his style keeps evolving– sometime he sends over dubstep, sometimes it’s Baltimore, sometimes it’s electro. The genre doesn’t matter much; he’s insanely talented at producing them all. This studio wizard makes music you’ll want to blast at full volume, so make sure you’ve got a pair of quality speakers to capture the depth of the drums.
His new EP, a collaboration with Germany’s EMMA, comes out on July 16th.
Yes, I’ve heard the whole thing.
Yes, it’s awesome.
Yes, you should get it.
I’m not allowed to share the whole thing, but here are some other Leg-No tunes. Consistency 4 lyfe, y’all.
