L.B. ThatProducerGuy Interview: Beginnings, Inspirations, Future Plans + More

Published

on

 L.B. ThatProducerGuy (L.B. TPG) is a music producer from Jacksonville, Florida. Growing up in a rough environment, LB was able to use his surroundings to tell his story through instrumentals. Driven by his dedication to take his craft to the next level, he motivates the artist he works with to do the same. He has since earned placements with XXL MagazineE! NetworkMotertrendTV, and SB Skooly, just to name a few on the growing list.

So it was only right for us to chop it up with LB for an exclusive 4shoMagazine Q&A. He spoke on his beginnings, his process when creating, current project, future plans and more.

Check it out in full below.


When did you start producing?

“I started making beats back in 2007, and by 2012 I was professionally creating.”

“Who are some of your inspirations?”

“I pull a lot of my inspiration from a variety of artists and producers in the game. It ranges from George Clinton, Quincey Jones, and Herbie Hancock to Teddy Riley, Pharrell and Zaytoven. It’s a very wide, complex list [haha].”

What’s your process when creating?

“I just get to it. I approach my process how I’d imagine a mad scientist might cook up in a lab. It’ll probably look like I’m doing a lot of random clicking and button mashing, but just know the finished product is going to be a banger! [haha].”

What is some advice you can give to upcoming producers?

“Stay passionate. Put your all in this music. It’s going to be a rough ride, but pay attention to those small stepping stones that don’t seem major and let it fuel you to keep pushing. It’s all a part of the process. Learn the art of patience and everything will genuinely fall into place.”

Who is your dream collaboration?

“I honestly don’t really have any, as crazy as that might sound.”

What projects are you currently working on?

“I just finished another addition to my instrumental series titled “ItIsWhatItIs,” Just search L.B. ThatProducerGuy on any streaming platform and tune in! Any feedback is appreciated!”

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

“Music is my passion.. it [legit] kept me out the streets. I look back at what could have been my life and I’m glad I made the decision to stay in the studio and pursue this career. My main goal is to fully be able to support my family with my passion. It could take 5 years or 15 years, but let me tell you .. it will happen.”

BermudaCal’s Music Video Mastery takes centerstage leading up to new album “The Divinity of Doubt”

Published

on

By

In a world where the essence of urban culture is often captured within the constraints of a stereotypical narrative, BermudaCal stands out as the true architect of soundscapes that redefine experimental rap. The recent release of his music videos “Promise Me You’ll Be Alright,” “Pulse,” “Silver Lining,” and “GOD” is more than an introduction to his album The Divinity of Doubt; it is an invitation to an immersive experience of a complex soul. BermudaCal bares his spirituality, layering his raps with varied vocal tones to convey a complex relationship with faith and the often-frustrating pursuit of understanding mental health in a world that can feel indifferent.

Directed by the unseen lens of New York’s shadows, “Promise Me You’ll Be Alright” captures the essence of the city’s pulsating contradiction. Filmed in Brooklyn’s chilling December air, the music video offers a backdrop of engaging beats and melancholy piano melodies that juxtapose the dark lyrical themes portrayed. “Pulse” is an embodiment of life lived out loud, set against the electrifying backdrop of Times Square. BermudaCal channels the ceaseless energy of the city that never sleeps, merging genres and unraveling the cadence of urban nights. The visuals are vibrant and frenetic, mirroring the relentless rhythm of the iconic locale, making every viewer feel the potent buzz of the metropolitan pulse.

Set amidst the tranquility of Central Park, “Silver Lining” explores the yearning for unwavering love and devotion. Through the fusion of evocative jazz hooks and the modern cadences of hip-hop, BermudaCal creates a track teeming with poignant questioning and rich metaphors, crowned with a haunting saxophone solo. With “GOD,” BermudaCal returns to his roots in Bermuda. The intimacy of this track is amplified by the personal visuals, shot by Edd Roberts and PIGG FILMS, which juxtapose the grandeur of natural landscapes with the internal struggle of seeking divine answers.

BermudaCal’s music genius doesn’t merely operate within the music but within the fabric of the urban tapestry, where each video becomes a time capsule for the contemporary state of being.
