Well you won’t have to hear this sound again. There’s no records sampled on this album. Daringer made all of the beats from sounds made by Beat Butcha. I do agree that it makes the album’s sounds sound less...versatile (for lack of a better word). But I also think it’s pretty dope that he was able to make an album that sounds like this without using any samples. So there’s a consistency to the sound that I actually am enjoying.

But I can see how it could get repetitive since it’s not a typical situation where they can put wildly different sounds on the album. They were very constrained here due to avoiding sample clearance issues.

Overall I’m impressed. I’ve been critical of Daringer in the past but I think he did a good job here making a bunch of beats that sound like they’re sampled from records when they aren’t.

And like I said, there won’t be another Griselda album to sound like this. At least not for a long time. I’d be interested to see a ‘behind the scenes’ on how they did the production here.
I had to come back to find this post cause it's crazy how he used no samples. Do you have a link to a source or an article on this ?
