"Just Off In Our Own World" - Produced By Dutchyyy As someone who grew up & started their music career in the mid 90's (Golden Era / Boom Bap HipHop) I've had a large portion of my long term supporters as well as new listeners stumbling on my earlier works who adore and wish I would keep creating music of the same style from those early years. This pertains to Beats (Dutchyyy) & (Rhymes) I went into detail about this in much greater context recently, which if you care to understand you should read thru all the descriptions and backstories here: + https://beta.catalog.works/dutchmassive + https://beta.catalog.works/dutchyyy Reality is, from the very beginning I've always been making music that didn't fit into any specific genre since I don't just listen or draw inspiration from a single genre. While most of my music is rooted in the fundamentals of traditional hip hop / beat making. I've always gravitated towards creating instrumentals that can speak for me, that aren't meant for people to put vocals over. Just genuine self expression minus the pressures of how that art will be received by others. This external pressure reached an all time high 2012-2014 with supporters getting frustrated I wasn't releasing new music rapping, and even more so that the Instrumentals I were releasing, weren't your typical hip hop beats (sidenote: funny years later my style would become a whole genre, branded "Lofi-HipHop") After moving from Los Angeles, back to Tampa Bay and then Immediately to NY in 2014, I reunited with my pops after over a decade of having no communication.
