24: What made you want to produce compared to being an artist or singer, manager, etc?


Oddz.N.Endz: We first started off rapping and had minimal success, but always made our own beats and hooks.  So when Nino landed a spot as a weekend Radio Personality on 102 JAMZ WJHM, we decided to focus solely on producing and writing. We love being producers because we get to be totally hands on on a song from start to finish and enjoy the fruits of major success while still being able to maintain low key lifestyles.


24: How would you describe your production style?


Oddz.N.Endz: Eclectic and diverse while still maintaining a current edgy sound.


24: Do you both consider yourself a producer or a beat maker and explain why for for either answer?


Oddz.N.Endz: We are definitely “Producers“! We envision songs start to finish and write just as much as we produce.  To coincide with our production, we formed a writing team called the Write Brotherz. If you hear that airplane sound effect on the track, you will know its us.


24: I know you recently worked with Slim on his hit single “So Fly ft. Young Joc” so tell how did that record come together?


Oddz.N.Endz: Lol, that’s one of those legendary industry stories you hear about… We met Slim a couple years ago through a close friend of ours as well as fellow radio personality at 102 JAMZ WJHM Ricky “Mr 6-10” Padilla. We went in on the record from a totally new and fresh sound and basically reinvented and brought Slim back to life! We wrote the record with him on the spot, and recorded it the same night. We’re so excited on his rejuvenation and all the success that he has recently had. We are already starting to work on his sophmore album.

24: Who are some other artists you’re trying to work with in the future?


Oddz.N.Endz: Basically everyone! Any genre, type, category of music. We’re trying to cover it all and further develop our sound and brand.


24: How do you guys approach making your beats, do you start with the drums first or a kick?


Oddz.N.Endz: There really is no one direct approach. It may start with a beat or a concept or a particular artist in mind, or a certain sample idea.


24: How is the industry treating you as far as being new producers trying to make your name in the  game?


Oddz.N.Endz: Its definitely been a challenge, and even with one hit under our belts we still have alot to prove as producers and writers. We are thankful to be in the position we are in, especially with more singles dropping this year.


24: What producer in the game at the moment makes you say damn! When you hear a beat they did and make you want to step up your production?


Oddz.N.Endz: Timbaland! From the artists he’s developed, to his beats, himself as an artist and his progression with his ever changing sound. That man is an icon in the world of music production and music as a whole. When he reinvents himself, he reinvents the entire industry. Its always refreshing.


24: Do you have any plans of starting a label later on and have artist or do you just want to keep focusing on being the best producer possible?


Oddz.N..Endz: We definitely have plans to start our own imprint under Anotha ONE Records (record label, writing label, publishing, etc)  and bring out an artist as well, in the very near future.


24: What’s some up and coming moves your trying to make in the near future that everyone should look out for?


Oddz.N.Endz: We’re working with a lot of artist right now (hint, hint)Estelle, Plies, Juelz Santana, Lil Wayne, 2 Pistols, just to name a few. Look out for B.G.’s first single “Keep It 100” featuring Magnolia Chop. That will be hitting the radio shortly.
