While a song’s success always depends on a number of factors, Houston rapper/producer BeatKing recently spoke with HipHopDX about producing music specifically for the clubs.
HipHopDX’s Ural Garrett caught up with the Houston artist to get his take on the importance that nightclubs can have in breaking a song and during the conversation BeatKing spoke specifically about the positive effect that strippers can have on a song’s popularity.
“What I peeped is when you making a single, the best way for it to get hot is for it to be a club song because you don’t have to put no real money into it,” BeatKing said in a clip that debuted as a part of today’s DX Daily. “If it’s jamming, it’s going to grow legs and deejays is going to support it. That’s the best way to get the music in front of a mass amount of people very weekend, every night. If you’re a lyricist it’s going to take money, it’s going to take a lot to get your music to a big mass of people if you don’t have a label or machine behind you. You have to go broke or have an investor and all that shit. When you make a club hit that shit connect to you, you not lying on these songs and that’s really what you do; people feel that shit. You grow faster. Strippers of all people if they feeling the song, they’re going to dance to it and request it for their show. If they keep playing the song everybody starts to make money off of it. I be in there eating though, I don’t be tricking. I be in there eating wings.”
