Q&A With Mojave Desert Based Veteran Hip Hop Producer GoomSon

Congratulations on your latest Beat Tape “SP 1000 Beat Tape”. What motivated you to become a producer . And how did you come up with your producer name GoomSon?

My Brothers had a pretty big influence on me at a younger age, didn’t really know what approach I wanted to take until I met my mans Masta Cypher Devine. The name came from a shroom trip when I was in the lab one night. Haha

Where are you from? And how is the underground Hip Hop scene there?

I’m from the Mojave Desert “The Dirt”, there isn’t a scene at all only time shit goes down is if we organize it.

How are you dealing with this whole nationwide lockdown due to Covid-19 Corona Virus? Has this effected your music career in any way?

I mean besides the gigs I was doing it hasn’t really affected me, I’d say it gave me the ability to bunker down and focus on a few more releases.

What was the first piece of production equipment (harware/software) you ever picked up on? And do you still have it or use it?

MPC 1000, I’ve had a bunch of different MPCs but I always go back to my thowy.

Who are you biggest underground influences?

It would have to be cats I’m currently working with, Grim Moses, Guillotine Regime, Abadon Horseman & Masta Cypher Devine.

You recently dropped a Beat Tape “SP1000 BEAT TAPE” across bandcamp! Please give us some background on that project!? Could you tell me the inspiration behind the project and artwork?

The tape we dropped was a collaboration project where Masta Cypher Devine and myself each worked on the tracks. The inspiration came between the both of us, we spent many nights on the phone really trying to create something special. As far as the artwork we both thought a mini drum machine would look fat in a norelco, it was a combo of SP 505 features laid out on a MPC 1000 hence the SP 1000.

How does social media play a role on pushing GoomSon music?

I personally only like using Instagram as a platform to post beat videos and campaigning when it comes time to drop a project. I’ve actually met a lot of dope people from around the world on that.

What are a few different moves your making for 2020 when it comes to your music career?

While the HipHop events I curated at Stone Brewing came to a hault I was able to sit down and get a couple more projects under my belt, “Build & Dismantle” Prod. By Masta Cypher Devine x Goomson, “Sureshot Demise” Prod. By Goomson, we also have a collab project with Grim Moses x Ca$ablanca in the works titled “Proof Of Concept”.

Our most popular question….What is your definition of “Underground Hip Hop”?

Staying true to the roots of underground hip hop, if you’re gonna categorize yourself as such don’t fake the jax yo. Records, Tapes, Analog Gear, & a true love for the craft

Where can our BLOG audience find your music and follow you on social media?

Goomson on everything, I’m most active on IG.

Please give us some background on how you started working with Masta Cypher Devine? Are there any more projects in the works with him?

My brother brought me to his spot years ago, and hell yea we got more shit in the works

Any Shout Outs?

Shoutout to my wife, my brothers, baby Ellie, Grim Moses, Bronx, DJ Rich Rok, & my mans Masta Cypher Devine what up god!

Masta Cypher Devine x GoomSon – “SP1000 BEAT TAPE” (Review)

Masta Cypher Devine and GoomSon release a beat tape titled “SP1000 BEAT TAPE“ , From 1st glance I really didn’t know what to expect but the cover immediately gave me a golden era feel. As I began this tape with a completely open mind I was able to visually see the music come to life as it went along but the tone was set by the 1st track “Mute Group”. The golden era feel confirmed my assumptions of how this tape might sound sonically.

The small but impactful statement by Rich Rok was the lead off that gave a simple beat life, The cypher sounds is what I call this type of music, not many distractions in the instrumental made for fluidity. As we continue the cuts we find a irrie grimey sound in “Turncate” that came right out the dungeon. You can feel a NY east coast influence in the baselines. The water drops sonically give this track a spooky overtone I can hear a legend like BIG L or JOEY BADASS inside of its pockets.

DOWNLOAD FULL BEAT TAPE ON BANDCAMP.

“Sequence” was a beautiful cut, the sounds reminds me of the flutes that makeup the ancient Chinese compositions. It was like a musical love story told through beats and flutes very rememberable. “Resample” was basic formula sounds more late 80s then golden era but still rock to the Hip-Hop enthusiast across the board. “Patch Phrase” was a break from the hollow type sounds and more bass oriented thumb. Still the classic break beat that seems to be consistent throughout the whole tape but a West coast touch added just to top it off.

“Tap Tempo” was probably my fav cut on here and its because of the beautiful vocals that lead off this instrumental & the pianos used to smooth out the overall cut. “Play Loop” gave me a AZ and Big L type vibe from the beginning more so BIG L, Not the best sonic sound as it kinda gets annoying. This album is very redundant and you don’t want to get stuck in complacency. I would recommend switching up the drums and trying to make every song completely different from the others.

“Wave Edit” was a Instrumental that stood out a bit I liked the strings used to bring this story to life but again the back beat reminds me of every song on this tape.  “Fx Assign” Had a Island & Desperado type of feel to it I can see a dope manifestation from this atmosphere given to the right artist. I believe this can be an even better instrumental re approached with different drums. Check out more music and stay up to date with Masta Cypher Devine & Goomson

Rate: 6/10

Highlights: Use of Strings and Pianos

Dislikes: All Back Beats sound the same
