The first track I have produced based of the production techniques used by Rick Rubin on Kanye West’s album Yeezus is called “Rage”. Although I referenced the album in its entirety I focused particularly on the track “Black Skinhead”. The mix of this song is very loud and in your face and I tried to recreate this in “Rage”, I created a simple yet effective drum pattern  to help move the song forward. I also used a lot of distortion on the vocals to add energy to the artist’s voice similar to how Kanye West sounds on “Black Skinhead”.

On “Black Skinhead” there is a very distinctive scream that plays on the instrumental to make sure the listener is always paying attention, I recreated this on “Rage”  by blending multiple sound effects together, shifting the pitch and adding processes such as reverb. I have attached before and after audio clips below.
