Sauce Lord Rich Best of Us Free Download
Saucelord Rich dresses the part of a very of import man. On a Th morning in late September, the New York-born, Atlanta-based producer and rapper showed upwardly to the VICE office in a teal blazer, scarlet red velvet slippers, dark pants, and gold but nearly everything else. He could've been anything from a music mogul to a space-age bounty hunter. But over the grade of our conversation, he proved himself to exist a few things for certain: smart, creative, commanding, and fearless. Along with FKi 1st, Rich is 1 one-half of FKi—the super-producer duo from Atlanta that has produced hit songs for the likes of 2 Chainz, iLoveMakonnen, Post Malone, Waka Flocka Flame, Immature Thug. Simply Rich'southward influence in the rap world doesn't stop at production. He'south too an sound engineer, working on his ain tracks and preparation other engineers who have gone on to be employed by big names like Kevin Gates. Having spent years behind-the-scenes helping other people fulfill their potential, Rich is ready to practice the aforementioned for himself. Last month, Rich released his debut solo projection, Know Me "King Wolf"—a xiii-rails album, out now on 4AM Records, that goes far to explain his production aptitude. While primarily a rap album, the project grabs from electronic music, rap, and rock in ways that testify he has more of a deep agreement than a passing interest in those genres. Rich manages to create a universe where he is king, bestowing his knowledge of the globe to all of usa gathered to hear his word. It'due south the showtime stride in a journeying that Rich hopes volition turn him into a household name around the earth. Our interview lasted an hr or then, and I spoke for maybe a total of 4 to v minutes over the grade of it. Rich is deadline a motivational speaker, with a knack for engaging y'all and bringing you lot into his vision. He addresses topics at length, but never speaks too much. In some means, his power to know when enough is plenty is another reflection of his music. Subsequently hearing him explain how the life lessons he's learned have made him the man he is today, and how he plans to reach the level of success he knows he deserves, I was a believer also. Pretty presently, yous'll be one too.
THUMP: When did you realize that yous had a gift? Saucelord Rich: I was real competitive [as a child] and always wanted to be the best at whatsoever I was doing. I never actually skilful annihilation, I just sort of did it—play basketball, run track, everything. Then I knew I had a souvenir merely I didn't know what I was gonna exercise. I thought I was gonna play basketball, but then one twenty-four hours, I got on penalisation. They took everything simply my calculator. I started making beats and literally fell in dearest with that. I knew I was gonna go good. I always tried myself like this cause of my living circumstances. My house is then minor, I couldn't invite people over. I was embarrassed—I didn't have a room. I didn't have a bed until my begetter got out of jail and he was selling drugs. I had my showtime bed and it was a water bed. That's my life, I went from no bed to a water bed. So when I get out the house, I'm similar, I'k gonna live a superman life. I knew I was going to do something. I ended up getting married into the hip-hop family [through my dad]—my pace-blood brother's grandmother is Sylvia Robinson and Joe Robinson, the whole Sugarhill Gang, "Rapper's Delight," all of that. As a kid, I'm going to the kitchen and Ronald Isley is in there. I seen how they was living and how everybody had big houses, driving squeamish cars. I'm from the projects, and then I'm like, "oh I'm doing this music thing. They are getting it!!" [laughs] The first large houses I seen was people who did music. What were you being punished for and why did they let you accept a reckoner? Since forever I wake up early at 6 AM. I don't know why. I can't sleep that long. And so I normally go up and take a shower. Now when you younger, yous think you lot up simply you lot not really upwards. And my father kept telling me like, nigga you keep jumping and shouting, you gon' autumn asleep so fuck some up. I'yard like, "yeah whatsoever nigga. You don't know what you're talking about, this my life." [1 forenoon] I go in [to accept a shower], autumn comatose, and flooded the whole house. Water came through the ceiling, the fuckin' floor, the ceiling—BOOM, mad water just came through and I didn't know none of this happening. I really fell asleep. I come out and run into this big, gaping-ass pigsty dripping with h2o in the centre of the fucking firm. My dad is similar, "you see what you lot did, correct? I fucking told you." I'm similar, "Oh my god!" He punished me… forever [laughs]. But my father is but a straight street dude. A computer to him is like, "What are y'all gonna do, type on that?" He took my TV, my absurd dress, my cool shoes, everything. All I had was this computer. Then I just got some headphones and started making beats. He just thought I was in my room existence quiet all twenty-four hour period. So yous had bring your entire firm down for this shit to flourish? Exactly. I brought my whole house down literally trying to be cool. Were y'all raised in Atlanta? No, I'm from between Harlem and the Bronx. My begetter's from Riverside, my mother grew up in the Bronx. I concluded upward moving to Georgia. My pops was on the run. He don't even live in Georgia no more. He lives back upwards here [in New York]. I still alive in Georgia.
What kept you there? I gauge the music. It was the just thing I had, cause when I came dorsum from college, we didn't have our business firm or cipher no more. You can say the Feds came and took everything—our dirt bikes, our dainty cars, our dwelling house, everything. Nosotros were living in a smaller, brownstone apartment. My male parent was locked up. So that forced me to get out and get an internship. Now I'thou sleeping at 11th Street Studios, literally trying to change my life, just making beats, trying to goddamn rap trying to make something happen crusade I didn't know what the fuck else I was gonna do. Right now if this shit stops, I couldn't tell you what I would do. I'1000 not the all-time drug dealer in the world, merely I probably would sell drugs crusade I can't sell shoes, I can't piece of work at a grocery shop, I can't give speeches—the fuck am I supposed to do? I can't exercise none of that shit, and then this gotta work for me. That'due south why I am the way I am with this shit—cause there own't zero else. You're a pretty skilful speaker. I'ma tell you some real shit: I went in my fucking bathroom when I was a kid, deadass, and was similar, "God, if you really want me to believe you lot, modify my circumstances." Information technology was that serious for me. My father got out of jail, just pulled up on a motorcycle, and was similar, "Yo I be back." He brought me to [his new] house, he got money, and I'm similar, "Goddamn, I literally prayed and that shit happened." I literally prayed myself out of a situation. I'm yet ever worrying virtually shit. I give a fuck about this shit. Cause this is all I can practice. I can't even spell that expert nigga. They put me in a spelling bee right now, I'd exist fucked up. I can tell you all this, but I can't speak that properly—it just end up turning into cusses and real shit, like I'm telling you son. Would you say that you are more similar at Atlanta or New York with how you approach the sound of your music? I'm taking the New York lyricism and swag and jamming into a southern rhythm. This is how I look at it: information technology's difficult for an older person to rock with the new generation because they can't relate with what they're maxim. Simply there'southward a person who's 60 who can similar Jay Z, and there'south a 15-year-onetime child who can like Jay Z cause the beats that he's picking and the things that he's maxim, one way or another yous're gonna take something from information technology. Big Daddy Kane, Pharrell, Jay Z— the way they just do that shit, it's just… I don't know. It's similar they're living larger than life. You lot experience like they're not really a human being, but somehow they even so are. Thank you. "Not actually a human being but somehow they still are." Good affair you understand what I'chiliad saying. [laughs] Information technology'due south difficult to say for me, I tin can't really explicate it.
FKi all came together when yous moved back to Atlanta, right? FKi 1st was from Cincinnati, and was [in Atlanta] similar three or four years in advance [before me]. At this time y'all could count the black people on—you know what I mean—so eventually nosotros were gonna gravitate to each other. I met ane black kid and he took me to the other black kid who took me to the other black kids, and 1st was but a part of that grouping. At present that whole place is jumping in the black. FKi 1st actually liked Jay Z at the time, and dorsum in the twenty-four hours I was a Nas fan. We ended up getting into a big Nas and Jay Z statement and that led united states to getting on the same motorbus and driving to the same neighborhood. He's like, "Oh shit, you the person who moved into the fuckin neighborhood. What practise you exercise?" "I make beats. What do you lot exercise?" "Fuckin make beats. That's crazy. I might come to your business firm, I wanna hear your beats. I accept never met nobody who brand beats too like me." I go over like, "oh shit your beats are fire. come to my firm." My father out there with fucking guns, a impenetrable vest, we are destroying the suburbs at this point [laughs].
How would you explicate your music—is it like, a certain setting, a scene in a kind of place? Is it like the way you wearing apparel? Have y'all ever seen Confront/Off? Aye. You seen how Castor Troy was acting in Face/Off? He was uncontrollable. If he wanted a adult female, he was gonna become a woman now. If he was gonna make a move, he was gonna make a move now. It wasn't based on everyone. I've been somebody who'south had to wait to come out forever. There was always stipulations. Can't do this. Can't practise that. Now it's just like, fuck that. I experience similar how [Brush Troy] felt. I know well-nigh the villain who'southward really supposed to be a hero, but by nature he ended up being the villain. You ever come across that kiddie movie Megamind? He was supposed to be skilful person, only his ship savage into the jail prison cell, so now he think being bad is skillful because he didn't know ameliorate. Tell me about the anthology. I simply wanted to make a project that when y'all click through the songs, you're getting a unlike side of a person. That's kind of what the whole wolf thing is well-nigh. Because if you encounter me in the solar day, you lot're not gonna recognize me at dark. From 10 AM to ten PM I'm in the studio, and after that, y'all go into that nighttime layer like, that'south when a wolf is created. This is the trouble of my music. I'm always in a constant battle. Information technology embodies somebody who stands in the middle of a state of affairs all the fourth dimension. You'll hear it when you listen to the music like, "oh he's in information technology."Nobody really represents that. Nobody talks about the reason why things are this way, or the reason why a woman feels this way. It'due south either like, "sing overnice, tell them that you gon love them forever." That'southward what they gon exercise—you Drake them like, "Ooh baby girl, you know you da best." And they like, "Oh I'm the best." But who's the person who'south like, "Aye yous do good ass shit, that shit be fire. Merely guess what? Y'all exercise foul ass shit likewise and I all the same love yous. For your foul ass shit and your good shit." [Laughs] I'm about the balance, I ain't tryna tip ane way or the other.
I don't know who my music is for, that's what nosotros trying to figure out. Could be for people in New York, Atlanta, Texas, LA, I don't know. I always ask people to tell me who I sound like, and they be similar, "I tin't really say that you sound similar everyone." When that new affair comes, it's hard to really guess it. I feel like that'southward where my music sits—right there where it's similar, "are you lot ready to take this gamble and see if you tin put something new in the earth? Or are you lot just going to continue accepting what's happening?" I empathize this business concern, everybody gotta eat, everybody gotta alive. But it's ever been art to me. How far practice you think y'all tin can bring somebody out of their comfort zone at commencement before they become used to you? What exercise you lot do to try to make it and then it's not just like, throwing them off the cliff, but kind of sliding them downward the runway? It's the way the beats are. If you listen to my CD, the first vocal is similar upward North lyricism jamming to a southern shell. So on "Peak on Top," it's similar Southern, it's making it experience like "Oh I like this, I wanna dab." By the time you start working through the CD, now yous listening to a rock song. Now you coming into similar ambience music. Just it's still got that background, information technology'due south still got that backdrop. And then information technology's making you feel like, "Oh I didn't just jump off a cliff." But you're definitely sliding downwardly a colina because the time you started at "Male monarch Wolf" and you get to "Butter"? You're coming off the stop of the slide, WOO! And "Moon Making Music" is when y'all come off the end of slide. People don't' do that no more, they just like "alright, I'grand gonna make some songs, it'south gonna all be banging it through your ears and they're gonna honey it because information technology's banging through your ears." There was a fourth dimension in the world where you lot say "the beat out was crazy" and the artist in the room is like, "then what the fuck are y'all trying to say?" [laughs] Only the world is and so used to mediocrity, they could just be like, "oh the beat was crazy, homo good," and yous non even be the person who made the shell! That shit ain't hot for me. When people hear my music, I want them be similar, "That crush was hard, his lyricism was difficult, he had a trivial flow," Can't nobody gon running on this CD saying he did nothing. In that location'south no outside person, every rhyme that you hearing came out of my brain. No one has ever written for me in my life. I write for people. And then when people listening to my stuff I'm like damn, you heard information technology from this person, this person, and this person, and I wrote songs for all of them. You tell me my beat is tight? Hell no nigga. I demand more than that. I help people all the time. I train engineers fresh out of high school, kids who don't know what they gon do, giving them jobs—Kevin Gates' engineer is mine. He came in here similar, "Bro you fire, I don't even empathise why you're still sitting hither." I don't even know why I'1000 still sitting here. What practise you have to practice to get to the next level? At the stop of the twenty-four hour period. I'yard trying to evangelize something that's incommunicable. This shit similar hit the lotto and I'm playing this shit everyday. Yous gonna run out of dollars! [laughs] I'm not winning, only you gotta believe that the lotto is going to change your life. We deadass trying. I'm in that location [in the studio] every day, making beats, writing songs, mixing shit, engineering shit, recording shit, doing everything. Follow Trey Smith on Twitter
