20 year old, Matt Mulheran finally creates his very first Beat-Tape. He is on a mission to become a prominent producer in the Twin Cities Underground Hip- Hop scene. Since being drawn to Hip-Hop by the jazz infused music of A Tribe Called Quest, Matt, operating under the name of Diatonic, has continually pushed to create a new breed of Hip-Hop. The D.J./ producer/ audio engineer is currently enrolled in the Bachelor's Degree for Recording Technology at McNally Smith College of Music. Primarily influenced by Hip-Hop pioneers 9th Wonder, J.Dilla, and Pete Rock, Diatonic poses a sharp contrast to the today's mainstream Hip-Hop by rejuvenating classic songs and creating lively soulful Hip-Hop instrumentals.
This past week Quelle Chris came on Special Sundays to talk about his newest release with producer Dibia$e "2Dirt4TV". They spoke about the idea behind the title, how the two linked up, the first single "Live Alone, Die Alone" and the video for it. They also spoke about learning things from youtube, the current state of music, and what's next for him; including another project with Dibia$e along with Crown Nation and Knxwledge, and much more.(via @MiSS1SPECiAL)
