Producer Spotlight: Analogic

Emerging from Trenton, the capital of New Jersey, Analogic has set out to win over the fans of this new generation of hip-hop with his soulful and hard hitting production. Having only been making beats since 2003, Analogic has amazingly climbed the proverbial ranks of the undergrounds new generation of elite producers. Quickly making a name for himself, Analogic has worked with the likes of such renowned emcees as Talib Kweli, Masta Ace, AZ, Sean Price, Wordsworth, & Phonte (of Little Brother).

Ironically enough Analogic began his musical endeavors as an emcee at the age of 19; however, he became increasingly frustrated with the production he was receiving. Not willing to rely on others, Analogic set out to craft his own beats. He’s yet to look back. Armed with his trusty Akai MPC 2000XL, he creates the soulful backdrops for emcees to pen those poignant rhymes that we’ve all come to know and love. Drawing inspiration from various genres, Analogic unifies the sounds of soul, jazz, & rock into his own unique sonic creations.

With an ever increasing resume, fans of true school hip-hop can be sure to hear a lot more from this burgeoning beatsmith. Those yearning for the next generation’s leader, he has arrived.
