Q-Tip
The level of production is so high today that hip hop fans can constantly discover a new sound which has never been heard before. That's probably why hip hop will never stop. Today, there are so many creators out there who keep a straight definition of hip hop. Beat-makers like Ratatat, Flume, TNGHT, Baaeur are not making the same sound, but for sure they are going down the same road.But producers are the main artists who control the future of hip hop... so, who wants to be a producer ?!
