Summary

Today on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome producer Rsonist of The Heatmakerz to the Upper West Side! R talks about growing up in the Bronx, heading to Howard University where he would study architecture, crossing paths with a ton of musical talent, including Young Guru, and becoming one of the most in-demand DJs on campus, to the point where he was asked to spin at Grandmaster Flash's birthday party... which went totally left. We discuss his leaving Howard before graduation, moving back to his parents' place with no degree, no future plans, and a baby on the way, how he fell into music production, how he sold his early beats, and how nearly every beat he had on his beat tape made it onto Diplomatic Immunity. We discuss his work with Cam, Jimmy and Juelz, playing beats at Baseline for Jay Z, running around with Kanye, meeting Nicki Minaj when she was still in high school, working with Gucci Mane before his first major deal, recording with Stevie Van Zandt for a song that ended up in Beyonce and Solange's hands, moving to Las Vegas and back to NYC, running a studio where everyone in NYC goes to record, his recent work with reggae artists, the best DJ Khaled impression, and much more!
