(EVERY TRACK RE-POSTED ON MY PAGE ARE TRACKS I PRODUCED) 
Music producer and entrepreneur, Slade, also known as S7AD3, was born and raised in the DC, Maryland, Virginia (DMV) area. He has been an avid fan of Hip Hop & R&B music for as long as he can remember since he was frequently exposed to it as a child by family members. His mother would often play music from some of the legendary artists such as the Notorious B.I.G., LL cool J, Nas, Maxwell, Lauryn Hill, etc., and his father was a big NWA fan. Additionally, his uncle was a DJ and would occasionally let him join him at his gigs and play with his beat-making equipment. Upon realizing the positive effects of music on the population and how it can bring people together, Slade decided he wanted to create a career out of making music and began his journey.

 

Initially, he could not afford any music equipment, so he experimented with beatboxing and making music with whatever materials he could find to persuade his friends to freestyle rap. Finally, when he was 17 years old, he had enough money saved to purchase a laptop and a keyboard and started producing for a year or so. Unfortunately, he felt as though he wasn’t very good at it and gave up. Later on in life, when he was bored at 24, he decided to download an application called “Beat Maker” on his iPad to help pass the time when he was at the airport waiting on a flight. Surprisingly, he ended up making three beats in one day with that app that sounded better than the one beat he had created a few years prior at the age of 17. He even felt as though his beats sounded better than those he was hearing on the radio, so he took this newfound talent seriously and ran with it. He then found a DAW (digital audio workstation) that he felt comfortable with, which was Logic Pro X, and continued to work on and improve his skills, making him the exceptional music producer he is today.

 

However, his talent doesn’t stop there. Slade has managed to create a production company called “Rare High Music Group”, which aims to develop and showcase artists to bring out the best version of themselves using the unique and vibrant beats he produces. Essentially, his main goals are to produce a top 100 billboard record, win a Grammy, and eventually have the opportunity to collaborate with other top-notch producers, artists, and record labels to create a plethora of phenomenal music.

What can elevate the college starter to elite athlete status or the open mic champ to a Billboard chart topper? Competition breeds excellence, and it is this mantra which brought together rival producers Prometheus and Midas to create Clique Tracks. Gone are the days where they’d face off on major stages for beat battles, both winning and losing to each other on multiple occasions. These days, when the two meet up, they both come out victorious with their co-produced masterpieces.

Head-to-head competition in front of judges like The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and Fat Trel served as grooming for Midas and Prometheus to partner up as they were able to acquire mutual respect for one another’s abilities. “There was a point where we would see each other and know it was gonna be a tough battle to win because, ‘He’s here,’” said Midas.

The two quickly moved from conversations to collaborations which utilized Prometheus’ knack for percussion, sequencing, and post production with Midas’ musicianship and instrumentation expertise.

Midas, a Maryland native, came to embrace music early on, playing both piano and saxophone; however, Prometheus, who hails from Pennsylvania, got a late start. He attributes his dive into music to his first bad breakup for which the beats and melodies provided him much needed therapy.

While working with the independent studio and record label Sluggerz Entertainment during his college tenure, Midas was able to hone his production skills as their in-house producer. Meanwhile, Prometheus put in long hours watching Youtube tutorials to tap into his musical gift.

With a sense of trust between them, the duo is now in pursuit of their first major placement which is just within reach. They’ve already landed work with many top tier DMV artists such as Visto, Black Cobain, Rob Regal, Pro’Verb and Garvey the Chosen One, but they have their sights set on working with them all. “We can consistently make killer tracks. Our goal is to show the world what we can do and hopefully inspire someone to chase their dreams just like we are doing” said Prometheus.

Differing backgrounds and influences have proven to be key ingredients to their eclectic sound. Their differences inevitably shine through their production, making their sound innovative and exciting.

Midas and Prometheus bring various accolades to the table including victories at iSTANDARD,  the MADE in the DMV beat battle along with the 1VsMany beat battle. Their musical influences include: Timbaland, Kanye West, Dr. Dre, Johnny Juliano and more.
