Your favorite hip hop songs aren’t going to just write themselves.
It takes a creative spark, thriving collaborations, and a consistent work ethic. But to be a prolific rapper with an archive of contagious hits, you need a personal, proven, and repeatable workflow.
Giants like Drake, Tory Lanez, Travis Scott, Joyner Lucas, and the late Juice Wrld have all customized their process to create quantity along with quality. Not every track is going to crack 1 billion streams.
But the more times you shoot for the moon, the more chances you have to blast off your songs to exist among the stars.
Imagine being a fly on the wall to observe how rappers record in the studio?
Travis Scott
While Houston rapper Travis Scott was recording his blockbuster album Astroworld, he established a workflow with his dozens of collaborators that felt more like being on a lavish vacation then being at work.
“It was a crazy house right off the beach. We had a basketball court and a pool. It was a nice little vibe. Everything set up to work overnight.”
– Sonny Digital (Billboard, 2018)
There was a massive number of collaborators and producers on deck to bring Travis Scott’s vision for Astroworld to planet Earth. Nav, Gunna, Mike Dean, Frank Dukes, WondaGurl, Sheck Wes from G.O.O.D. Music, and Sonny Digital were just a few of the heavy hitters that convened in the paradise of Hawaii.
“I did a lot of sessions with him, actually…What’s cool about people like Travis is that they’re just getting a bunch of people in the room and seeing what happens. For a lot of it, I was just a team player. At some points, there were 10, 20 people in the room. You could just be there and hang out and not do anything for like an hour. And then something perks your ears up, and you can be like, ‘Oh yeah, yeah, plug me in, I’ve got an idea.’ We’d go for hours until three in the morning.”
– Kevin Parker of Tame Impala (Billboard, 2018)
Juice Wrld
Before Juice Wrld unfortunately lost his life to a drug overdose at the early age of 21, he was creating songs effortlessly that channeled his feelings.
“Most of the time I don’t write, I freestyle. Certain songs, If I do write, It starts with me hearing a beat and me instantly having an idea. If I’m by myself and I have an idea for this song, and I want to finish it. I feel like if I have an idea, I’m not going to remember it six hours later when I go to the studio. So sometimes I take a voice memo down or if it’s something I want to dive deeper to, I end up just writing the whole song.”
– Juice Wrld (Hypebeast, 2018)
When you have the passion and momentum of Juice Wrld in the studio, there is no time limit to your workflow. You live in the moment.
“Juice is the person who, when you press play [on a beat], he doesn’t hear it for more than five seconds before he says, ‘load it up’ and goes off top [ad-libs a vocal on the spot]…This is at four or five in the morning. He kills the first beat, then he’s like, ‘play the next one.’ He goes off top again. I’ve never seen him actually write.”
– Rvssian (Rolling Stone, 2019)
Speed was definitely on Juice Wrld’s side when it came time to carve out his creativity while the record button was on.
“‘Robbery’ is the only old song…
Everything else I made in about 72 hours — I made like 23 songs in those days.”
– Juice Wrld (Rolling Stone, 2019)
