1. Hip-Hop Digital Interviews Falside by Kristy Steele
Posted 20 December 2011
Rhode Island native producer Falside is working his way to the top with his Nintedo 64 by his
side. Currently working with some of the hottest hip-hop acts out, including Ohio’s own Stalley.
This kid is making his rounds one by one. Get familiar with Falside and his boom-bap
movement.

2. Hip-Hop Digital:What’s good Falside, how’s life?
Falside: What’s the good word? Everything is beautiful, I’m watching Camron’s Killa Season
right now. Action packed.
Hip-Hop Digital: As an up and coming producer coming from the smallest state, what are some
of the struggles you’ve had to overcome?
Falside: Luckily, I don’t have too much to stress about. It’s just all about making good choices
and making friends with like-minded people. If you can do that without losing your integrity,
your on the right track.
Hip-Hop Digital: How did your first major placements come about? How long we’re you
producing before you got that recognition?
Falside: I produced “The Crush” for Vast Aire of Definitive Jux’s Cannibal Ox my junior year
of High-School. Everything got real shortly after that. I had been making beats for about 2 years
leading up to that song and it was on from there.
Hip-Hop Digital: What knowledge would you offer a kid looking to follow in your foot steps?
Falside: Don’t follow in my foot steps, everybody travels a different path. Do what you feel is
right and learn from your mistakes.
Hip-Hop Digital: Recently you did a joint project with Juan Deuce that is producer in its
entirety by you. How did you two hook up for the creation of the Mechanics EP?
Falside: Juan and I attended the same high-school. We linked up about a year and half ago and
started working seriously with eachother. The Mechanics EP came together lovely and we knew
we were sitting on something special. Our momentum has been building and our buzz has been
lovely. We are going to continue to snowball this and drop a full length album we’re currently
working on.
Hip-Hop Digital: To date, what is your favorite project or track that you’ve produced?
Falside: Oh man. This question. One of my favorite records I’ve done could possibly be GUTS
from The Mechanics EP. But ask me in a week and my answer will be different. I’m sitting on a
ton of unreleased music right now, there are some favorites in there as well.

3. Hip-Hop Digital: When sitting down to create a new master piece, where do you draw your
creative inspiration from?
Falside: I draw a lot of inspiration through things that I’ve experienced that day or week, the
people who surround me, and the fucked up shit that happens in this decaying planet.
Hip-Hop Digital: When creating your instrumentals what instruments and programs are
generally used?
Falside: I make all of my beats on a Nintendo 64.
Hip-Hop Digital: That’s awesome! In your opinion, what is the definition of a “Producer”?
Falside: Producing is more than making a beat, it is contributing construction, composition and
direction of music or what ever it is that your making. Anybody can make a beat, but not
everybody can make a good song.
Hip-Hop Digital: Do you currently have some projects in the works we should be looking out
for?
Falside: I am working on a mixtape, produced by me, that is dropping with 2dopeboyz later this
year, it’s dope. Also Ricky Shabazz and The Boom Bap Boys (my fam) are dropping Free
Shabazz 2 this year, its a compilation of some of the dopest talent, new and old out right now.
Also, the full length album from Juan Deuce and I. There will also be more beat tapes here and
there.
Hip-Hop Digital: Who are some of the artists you’re hoping to work with in the near future?
Falside: I want to do work with Mr. MuhFuckin eXquire and Azealia Banks. Two of my
favorites right now.
Hip-Hop Digital: Where can the supporters be in touch with you?
Falside: Follow me on twitter (@Falside) to stay updated. PEACE!
