It\’s always refreshing to see an artist break out of their comfort zone and try to progress in another. It displays courage, confidence, boldness, and I believe that with determination comes progression.Side projects of a different genre that EDM producers involve themselves are nothing new, however it\’s always something refreshing to their fans.
Yesterday, Midnight Tyrannosaurus announced over his Facebook page that he will be starting up a HIP HOP side project.\”The stuff that comes from the 80s and 90s, that you kick it to, not rage to,\” he stated over his Facebook. He also described it as, \”primarily chilled,\” and \”boom-bap to the maximum.\” Believe me, I know what you\’re thinking, \”Midnight T being chilled? Yeah and Bassnectar wears a wig.\”
He\’s mentioned that he\’d like to start collaborating with rappers to add lyrics over his old school hip hop beats. Not only is this refreshing to his fans but also to the Hip Hop genre as well. With Midnight Tyrannosaurus expanding his talents into other genres, as a fan, I\’m excited to see how this effects his dubstep production as well.
With the blend of heavy, neck-breaking dubstep and chill boom bap beats maybe we\’ll be able to witness the creation of boom bap bass. Can a filth fanatic curve his grime and create something \”primarily chilled?\” Well, I guess we\’ll just have to wait and see what the Tyrannosaurus hatches.
