In the ever-evolving world of hip-hop and R&B, music producers play a pivotal role in shaping the sound of tomorrow. Enter 808SKIMANE, a Houston-based producer whose passion for beats has turned into a serious craft over the past year and a half. With influences like Metro Boomin and Pi’erre Bourne, he is carving out his own lane in the industry.
808SKIMANE’s journey began with a beat called "Retro," created in GarageBand—his first step into the world of music production. Now, he specializes in R&B, hip-hop, trap, and even the emerging trapprock sound. His work has already made waves in his local scene, producing tracks for rising artists like NOLO and KHAITI.
His dream collaborations span across generations, naming legends like Pimp C, XXXTentacion, Juice WRLD, Chris Brown, G Herbo, BigXthaPlug, Rob49, and Future Hendrix as artists he’d love to work with. With a dedication to his craft, 808SKIMANE handles all aspects of his production, creating beats that capture raw emotion and energy.
Although he hasn’t ventured into music videos yet, his focus remains on refining his signature sound. His latest project is set to drop tomorrow, and he’s continuously building his catalog of R&B and trap beats, determined to make his mark. “I see myself as a highly successful music producer and a household name in five years,” he confidently states.
With dreams of performing in Dubai and Colombia, 808SKIMANE envisions himself on tour with industry heavyweights like Future Hendrix, Chris Brown, G Herbo, and Rob49. Backed by the support of his family and friends, he’s ready to take his production to the next level.
Stay tuned for his latest release and keep an eye out—808SKIMANE is just getting started.
