Last of the Record Buyers talks with 20 year old producer Yakub about his first placement, a Ghostface Killah song entitled “Together Baby”. Yakub briefly talks about his current setup Reason + Audacity and his growth from FL Studio.
Visit Yakub on Bandcamp and look out for his work on Ghostface Killah’s album Apollo Kids.
The beat was tight. How does one get a placement like that? By talking to Ghost’s manager/A&R? do you hit him up directly? do you send your demo to his record label? how do i get placements like that?
its crazy cause i was apart of how this joint got placed. its just know people pretty much and gettign your beats to the right people
good lookn on that.. Thats Right On G Mo! Im SURE you’ll be placin ALOT of joints in the future too! lets get it
Joint was tight bruh! Hope you gain more exposure with lots more placements! That’s big! Congrats to you! Keep us posted!

I made the video to give Yakub some shine because when the track came out last week, there wasn’t a credit to any producer.
Yo Yakub – I love the ziptape man. I really like the mixing and was wondering if you might be able to help me with something…the whole tape has this really cool compressed sound – I’m trying to figureout how to put that on my mixes – so far no luck – could you share what kind of compressor was used or how I can put a similar kind of compressed quality on my shit? Thanks man
Big ups to Yakub. Good shit.
Congrats Yakub! Getting to work with a legend at your age is a real blessing mane!
