We here at Thirty Six Seven take the utmost pride in ourselves as far as determining factors of staying tapped in with upcoming entities in this line of artistry we work in & continually collide upon.. & with all elements in creating a musical masterpiece being critically important, we feel as if the beat in any song you are trying to curate can be a crucial component in failure or success in the track.
These producers have maintained a steady rise and stand out from the competition in more categories than one on their rise to stardom!
Introducing a new segment to the website, we hit up a couple of our favorite upcoming producers & managed to get a little more information on the basics of the way they were able to maintain a steady balance in production as well as dabble in other different ventures without their paths crossing in a negative image. Mind you; this article is in no order of best to worse or most clouted to least.. more so, every curator on this current roster & so forth being a hardworking entity on the uprisings to where they are today & us wanting the public to open more than the two eyes given to them.
Be sure to follow every curator below & stay updated with the upcoming releases on the way from them! Links will be automated to the tabs below! Special shout-out to these guys for letting us know a little more about them & the highs - lows of the game.
Just C - Manhattan, NY
This 27-year old curator was born in Manhattan, NY but raised in Brooklyn, NY, literally his whole life... & with being in the production aspect of his career for little less than 5 to 6 months before taking things seriously, he has managed to build a very credible name at an extremely remarkable pace! But before he even had a thought about making beats - he could remember his cousin (@Skrapdollazzz) vividly being one of the first individuals around him to be seen making beats in first person .. as his cousin had been doing for years as a striving curator.. but he never really ran with the whole thought till he saw his boy (ChrisMeta) in quote "go brazy with the shits" stating "We used to always link up & he would make some fire straight from the iPad!" He taught him the ropes on all the main aspects & then, from there, it was over. He knew this was meant for him!
Just C has kept his foot on the gas ever since he began his journey & is starting to see the fruits of his labor.. but he is still struggling with managing to keep up with this fast-paced genre. In his own words, he stated, "Especially with the time and space we are in now. Hip-hop is really moving fast. There's always a new trend/new sound", but he is still the type of person to want to push the envelope & try new things right away, as he gets bored quickly with the same sounds, still not believing he is where he is at the moment, with the little placements he has been able to secure within the six months of this production excursion!
Thirty Six Seven: "What's your current opinion on the New York music scene?"
Just C: "I love the music scene in NY and where we stand as a whole. But I feel as - if everybody came together from different boroughs, we would have a more solidified spot in this music game. A lot of people in NY want to work on their own and not give credit where it's due. We are stronger together, but I feel like we lack that one part, which is unity, and I feel like it's beef between everybody just because everybody wants that top spot. It's super competitive."
Thirty Six Seven: "What's your favorite part of being a producer - what makes you do what you do?"
Just C: "My favorite part of being a producer is actually learning and creating a sound for myself. I never had shit going on in my life, so being here to create is everything to me, and also helping create a new sound for other artists. I have an unreleased placement with Shawny Binladen called "Glock FOUROH" and his flow on that totally threw people off because it’s not his normal flow. It’s a new flow but mad people jacked it. You can check out the snippet on YouTube.".
Thirty Six Seven: "Who are some of your influences - Artist & producer wise?"
Just C: "I was influenced by a lot of artists like J. Cole, Drake, Jay-Z, and Tory Lanez, mostly because of their versatility. Producer wise, my top picks that really have shaped and affected my sound now are 40, Kanye, and Metro Boomin. Paying attention to the music scene around 2013-2016, the producers that stood out to me were definitely @CashCobain , @TonySeltzer & @ALauNyc. But in real time, the team I work with now called ATM - has really influenced my style as well. Being alongside the top producers in NY, you start picking up on aspects like them. All I can do is watch and soak in all the information I can from the gang to become a better producer.".
Thirty Six Seven: "What’s one pet peeve you have about this game your in? Something you don’t like or would change?”
Just C: "One thing for sure is niggas who think they have some type of clout & try to talk down on upcoming producers.. For example, a producer could be tough but the artist will expect shit for free because the producer doesn't have a certain number of followers or placements. So they expect you to do shit for them for free. Respect my craft & I will respect yours and the time you put into it.".
Thirty Six Seven: "When you aren’t making beats - what other ventures do you dabble in? or other hobbies do you have outside of producing?"
Just C: "Beside beats I do graffiti. I’m into the Graff scene & been intrigued by it for more than 10+ years. I’ve been on & off with with photography as well.. been trying to get back in the zone - & just have multiple productive activities to do to keep my mind occupied and in the right head space".
Thirty Six Seven: "Any other upcoming projects or motions? What’s next for Just C?"
Just C: "Shit, my next thing I’m trying to do is 2 tapes. One will be produced by me & have various artists I fuck with on it & the other will be me rapping over my own beats. The first tape is called "May Cause Drowsiness" & the other tape produced/written by me is going to be called "Me Vs Me". Hopefully out next year!"

DiamondInTheDirt - Landover, MD
At 27 years old, DiamondInTheDirt, based out of the Landover, MD area, is no stranger to the Thirty Six Seven platform, with us posting the latest projects he has been releasing & him being a well-working curator since 2015 ; but prior to producing, being a well known rap entity - he knows the trials & tribulations of transitioning from artist to full developer stage .. at one point of time, he even bought beats from producers based in Atlanta who ended up blowing like OG Parker & Spiffy Global.. he always had the knowledge of music & was involved with it.
From being in a go-go band in 2008 playing the keyboard to making hit tracks, production was just something he had to invest in more and more, with the most challenging parts of his excursion being his environment. He never got the chance to really "dip both of his feet into the music" as he should've, but he is definitely looking forward to doing so in the near future. When he isn't producing, being on the move always puts him in an excellent space to make beats, especially in Atlanta. Outside of beats, doing some admin work for a few artists to help them collect $$ from publishing is what he does as a little side hustle - but never steering too far away from the music!
Thirty Six Seven: “What has been your favorite track you’ve produced or been apart of in your career thus far? Any special ones to you?”
DiamondInTheDirt: "My favorites so far. #1 Shabazz - "Don’t Like Em" from "Curb Service" a lot of people don’t know I did that one because i didn't put my tag on the beat.. but that was my first placement."
"Plus anything I do with Keezah - i like how he talk's that talk & our neighborhoods a few minutes apart... it’s a few artist I like to work with he’s definitely one."
Thirty Six Seven: "What is your current opinion on the Maryland music scene as a whole? - you rocking with the progress in the community?"
DiamondInTheDirt: "I like the Maryland & DC scene - it’s seen progress since 2016, I feel like we need to be a little more diverse in our sound to be national.. we already have the influence".
Thirty Six Seven: "What’s your favorite part of being a producer - what makes you do what you do?"
DiamondInTheDirt: "My favorite part of producing may be the coaching aspect of it.. being able to help other artist & producers learn. I got love for the art too"
Thirty Six Seven: "Who are some of your influences - Artist & producer wise?
DiamondInTheDirt: "Zaytoven & Southside are the biggest influences production wise, but also people like Yo Gotti & Berry Gordy (Motown) on the business side".

ProdByEli - Queens, NY
Coming straight out of Queens, NY-born & raised, stating that "Queens really had the greatest impact on my upbringing," then recently moving to the city of Atlanta, 22-year old Eli has been making some serious moves on the board of production for quite some time now, making sure every motion is the best transition for him in developing instrumentals for a new sound of "Sexy Drill"- it sounds crazy.. but the movement is REAL.. & growing at an expeditious speed. Just look up Lonny Love's "Hoechella" & feel out the wavy R&B samples influenced by a jumpy New York style bass & hi-hit pattern, styled with lyrics that bring out the real exotic/sleazy side of the listener *pause* lol, but no really.
Starting his excursion in beat making around late 2014 with Jersey club sounds, but before that, being a well-known DJ around his town & other areas who would provide a hot playlist for/too small events & parties during the beginning of 2013, Eli managed to captivate on a sound that only he can muster when in the progress of building loops & drum lines while still being a significant entity in the DJ scene, before dropping it totally.. even having to go through that struggling transition of his motions.
At one point in time, Eli came face to face with one of his biggest challenges to occur on his journey to stardom.. when all of his musical equipment was lost in a storage mishap.. leaving him with only a single laptop & an endless amount of time to think.. heavyhearted but determined, Eli worked vigorously & found his love of production through Jersey club beats.. later on, adapting to the sounds of his city & gaining the attention of individuals beyond his zip code.. but the hardship doesn't stop there. Around 2018, Eli lost all his passion for music & everything came to a halt. Eli had to find himself.
Fast forward to 2020 & something clicks... the flare is back in him! Something was telling Eli to pick up his laptop & go crazy, so that's what he did & he has never looked back since! With him already knowing how to develop a clean, structured jersey sound, it was time to expand. & that's what happened from messing around with FL studio every day, late at night.. putting that time in! He's strictly producing now, as he lost his passion for being a DJ years ago.
Thirty Six Seven: "In your opinion - what’s the hardest part of being a producer? What are some of the challenges or adversities you had to face on the come up to who you are today?”
ProdByEli: "The hardest part of being a producer is 1. knowing that you have a fire song in the cut with an artist that's taking a while to release it. You need/want the streets to hear it, but you have to be patient lol & 2. I'll say dealing with beat-block. Sometimes you'll be so locked in that you feel like you can't create... so I'd usually leave it alone for a day or two and take a mental health break & do other hobbies that I enjoy, like playing the game or going outside and playing basketball until I find that inspiration again. As far as adversity, know that sometimes people won't believe in you or see the vision that you see. You'll have people that'll throw negativity on your music or try to downplay your passion, but you've got to keep going & live by your faith..."
Thirty Six Seven: “What has been your favorite track/s you’ve produced or been apart of in your career thus far? Any special ones to you?”
ProdByEli: "My favorite track out that I produced right now Has to be "Pillow" by Chow Lee & Lonny Love. its on Lonny's album “Hoechella” Simply because it was my first placement with them at the time & the vibe of the song is really like no other... especially on that lay it down sample by Lloyd."
"Another song to me that honestly stands out the most personally is “I Can't Stop” By Lonny Love Co Prod by C-HOP, simply because of the sample by Whitney Houston. You can hear her saying "I cant stop" repeatedly & I feel like it correlates with my real life situation... because no matter what obstacles i face or road blocks come i will never stop, this is forever."
Thirty Six Seven: “You mentioned earlier that you play ball when you aren’t making beats - are there any other ventures you dabble in? Do you still DJ at the moment?"
ProdByEli: "Nah not going to lie it's just strictly producing now bro, I lost my passion for being a DJ years ago.. I'm just locked in with music production at the moment. If i ever got the feeling to dip back in it ill do it 100% - but it's just strictly producing".
Thirty Six Seven: "What’s your favorite part of being a producer?"
ProdByEli: "My Favorite part of being a producer is knowing how much your beat can move the room in a studio, without a beat there's no song so it feel good to know you can set the mood".
Thirty Six Seven: "What makes you do what you do? & Who are some of your influences - artist & producer wise?"
ProdByEli: "What makes me continue doing what I'm doing bro is just knowing how far I can take this, I love the grind, the work that I put into this music business - I want to create generational wealth with this, I want to be remembered. Some influences I'd have to say - are Cash Cobain, Smattsertified & CallUpTay for sure, that's my brother... & just mainly queens producers I'm going to keep it real with you".
Thirty Six Seven: "What is your current opinion on the QUEENS music scene?"
ProdByEli: "Queens is winning right now bro I love to see it, I don't care which part of queens but the borough as a whole? - doing they thing right now & ain't no telling how far we can take this... a lot of talent is coming out of queens that people need to look out for".
Thirty Six Seven: "What’s the next moves? Any Upcoming collaborations or songs in the workings at the moment?"
ProdByEli: "Right now i have a lot going on bro.. a lot of new heat. I'm working on a project with Lonny Love & Yung Talii - I got a song in the cut with Rahmeezy & LouGotCash. I think they going to drop that pretty soon. Also I'm working on a tape with my brotherrrrrr man @__marcelona, he is another big reason why I started getting back to producing as well.. he kind of motivated me in a sense."

I mean the music is cool, but I’m mostly into the melodic side of music; which there isn’t much of in our city's progress, and the work ethics could improve instead of having egos blocking up opportunities.".
Thirty Six Seven: "What’s your favorite part of being a producer bro? What makes you do what you do?"

Olly - Seattle, Washington
The future of production is in excellent hands with young curators like Olly, who at only 16 is maneuvering in this fraction of work like a pure veteran - while only genuinely starting to produce on his laptop this year! - When he was one year old, his family relocated from Seattle to Texas; as he was a military child. He was always around music.. his father was also a curator in the musical arts... he often watched his father work... He always knew he wanted to follow a path in music. Beginning his craft in 2016, Olly has built a solid-structured name within the upcoming producer scene.
With influences like his father but also mainstream producers/artists like Oddwin, Raisi K & Pierre Bourne, the sounds of these creators are the reason why Olly even started producing the way he currently does, stating "I just love producing... I don't know what I would do without it". Within these six years, Olly has been able to collaborate with musical curators along the lines of Cosznmo, Shawny Binladen, Tae Retro, Four3va, VellyDaGoat, YvngChris, Khalil (Khalilsbible), Your Stepdad (Doowop), Specxfic & Glo Up - plus a numerous number of upcoming entities via SoundCloud & YouTube!
Being such a young curator, Olly has nothing more than time but advantage on his hands to take over the game in any way he wants, the way he constructs his instrumentals are almost like a breath of fresh air, something you hear & know will become big as the time goes on. If it doesn't hit you now… you will feel it later - & with this evolution of hip-hop steadily updating with new sounds & influences, Olly has grasped on a new wave of creative visions from not only himself, but other upcoming entities as well.
Thirty Six Seven: "In your opinion - what’s the hardest part of being a producer? What are some of the challenges or adversities you had to face on the come up to who you are today?”
Olly: "The connections & business. It's hard to sell beats when people aren't money ready to be honest - But mainly the hardest part is the connections. You can be a good ass producer but having that one major connection can get you somewhere other things can't. Mainly how i got with wop".
Thirty Six Seven: "How was your upbringing in Seattle?.. how long have you been in the Production game & what made you start crafting beats?”
Olly: "Well, actually, at one year old, I moved because my dad is in the military.. so we were in Texas at the time. I kind of grew up from there. My dad used to make music and I've been watching him do it ever since I grew up. I've been producing since 2016, though- but i started producing on my own laptop this year. "
Thirty Six Seven: "What’s your favorite part of being a producer & also who are some of your influences, artist & producer wise?"

Thirty Six Seven: "When you aren’t making beats - what other hobbies do you have?"
