The other week, if you 'Like' us on Facebook (if you don't, get on that), you may have seen our live stream of our studio session with Havoc. The OG producer and rapper was in NYC promoting his upcoming album with another talented beatsmith, Alchemist (The Silent Partner), and stopped by to give our users a behind-the-scenes look at his creative process when it comes to beat-making.
For those that missed the live stream, you can catch what went down above. Havoc actually did two different beats, you'll notice things switch up in the second half of the video, but they both sound extremely dope. Who wants them? (!!). Hav also narrates his process for us, and even gets to freestyling over his beat towards the end of the video.
Take a look above, and be sure to cop The Silent Partner when it drops on Friday.
