I am very happy with this video :) I hope you like it too, my love PS Don't believe the haters! I CAN teleport!

Dahi has been one of my biggest inspirations since the first time I listened to Money Trees. He has produced some of my favorite beats ever: A Lot by 21 Savage, Kendrick's LUST., Worst Behaviour by Drake and Self Care by Mac, and you can learn something different everytime you listen to one of his beats. Truly one of the greatest of this generation.

you’re the only person who makes beat making tutorials that my ADHD can tolerate learnt a lot from your videos. Appreciate you so much.

Just like DJ quik, never got the full recognition he deserved, his production was nuts. Have you ever done a video on him?

Always loved the drums on father time, didn't know it was him.

It's crazy how this is seen as something unique. Grime producers were doing this nearly two decades ago, before the trap sound started watering the sound of Grime down

Congrats on 200k 🫡

Worst Behavior's beat is definitely my favorite by him. Haven't heard anything like that beat since.

Navie doesn't miss.... Thanks for the infotainment once again

This dude be mad slept on. But ain't gon lie, the bass trick he does I've heard SoundCloud producers doin since 2018. Great video tho!

Navie D you're a genious man

Thanks for the tips man

He's been one of my favorites since I heard "Money Trees" by Kendrick Lamar. Some of my favorites of his are "Gravity" by Brent Faiyaz, "The Helium Balloon" by Wale, "Mercury" by Steve Lacy, "Deep Water" by Dr. Dre & "Power" by Baby Rose. His sound is so diverse, it's hard to keep up with him

Beatmaking genius is a really specific type of genius.

Navie D thd GOAT

been a fan of Dahi since I heard Money Trees... I'm glad you shed some light on him 🙏

YESSSSSS!!! I absolutely love this approach! I have made so many beats that seem "out of timing" or with an odd rhythm, but this video gives me reassurance that I was onto something! Thank you so much Navie!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Always great to see Dahi get some shine. Huge inspiration and a real one of one artist

always something to learn from your vids Navie. We appreciate you heavily

I've been doing these things for years ... glad someone doing it is finally getting some recognition among the production world if not with the fans at times! Love experiments!

Great video! .... it's the the added context of your videos that i find really helpful. Appreciate u

The deconstruction of his drumm Game was mind blowing 💯💯💯 Great Job Navie, for Sharing this Amazing Video and give DJ dahi his Flowers while he is still here 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I love this kind of format, gives so much info while being well edited

Been waiting for this.

Bravo as always man. I really like these beat breakdowns that aren’t just “how do you copy this artist” but really more showing us why we should appreciate them. It’s inspirational as fuck!

Amazing video my friend! My drum patterns are the thing I've been focusing on a lot lately to try and expand my grooves and give a different bounce to my beats. It can be extremely difficult to pull off as you mentioned. Especially when getting into changing stuff like the snare. Usually that I still keep on the 2 and 4/3 and 7 and just play with the timing of my kick, bass, and hats. Almost never add toms either. Lol. So much inspiration from this vid, thank you! 🙏🏻 Also 200k?!? Lets goooo! Congrats man.

DJ Dahi is indeed a underated GOAT Producer. Def in my Top 10. Tried to send him some samples a couple of times already :D One additional info that i want to point out about Dahi is that he also knows when to keep it simple. As you showed in his video he has a very unique production style, but for some beats like Money Trees he kept it very simple and basic with the drum pattern and also just reversed the sample (i'd even say reversing samples is one of Dahis signature sounds as well)

Great video!

Respect! Thx for sharing this inspirational prod 🔥

I never knew this producer man until today thanks for putting me up to par🎉 I liked and subscribed.❤

I enjoy your videos! This one is among my best!

i learn many things from many music producing channels but this channel is the only one that makes me feel like i gained inspiration to move forward.

Great vids as usual! I don't see a lot of content makers speaking on Swizz Beatz style and a tutorial on Swizz Beatz. His style was just as recognizable as Timbaland or Alchemist. He had a very unique style that is hard to imitate. I would love to see a Swizz Beatz video and how he achieved that old Ruff Ryders sound. Thanks you the GOAT!

You have no idea how long I had been waiting for a breakdown of dangerous it’s one of my fav song !! Underrated album for sure

I love your videos bro

You're a great teacher. Thank you for this video.

Definitely some genius ideas. Thank you sir

This channel is so dope

Finally, you re talking about dahi, and now I'm completely shore that I came to the right place, over and over again. You ll be one day on this spots Navie, ty man, aaand meanwhile you teleported here, I saw you!

well that song with schoolboy is one of my favorite songs sooo ^^ yeah. Great Producer

Conductor Williams definitely deserves some shine, he produced the intro track to Call me if You Get Lost. originally a Westside Gunn track called Michael Irvin

Can you please do Monte Booker next? One of my all time favorite producers.

After that teleportation thingie I had to subscribe dawg🤣

I appreciate the timing of the overall theme. Not being that it's non-existent, just rarely recognized for what it is. Thanks for noting Dj Dahi, I need to check him out more. Thanks for the slick therapy session too 😂. I'm kinda broke, but I'll pay attention and share with my producer friends. Peace.

Honestly... The most beats from DJ Dahi you showed in this vid sounded very straining for me. But mad respect for your beat example, Navie. Sounds smooth👍

props for doing this - Dahi is so underrated and deserves all his flowers!

If y’all tryna learn how to do this look up “backbeat”. When the snare hits on the 2 and 4 and is emphasized

Nice. Dahi is so talented. I loved watching him cookup on fliko channel. I even downloaded twitch and made an account just to see him cook! Lol. He also has a good energy about him.

dope video

You taught me something about DJ Dahi. I appreciate him more now

I hadn't heard of him before, bc I'm a small droplet in a big pond, but I have heard that Krit song and it absolutely goes in. Praise delivered!

dope vid

dope video! didn’t know about DJ Dahi before (i prob don’t know bout most producers tbf) now i do… i think w guys like this and Dilla they aren’t being diff just for the sake of it, it’s just what sounds good to them while they’re cooking and they’re secure in who they are to just go w it, when others may be afraid to “dare to be different”. i.e. they just doin what feels right to them, so do what feels right to you, don’t do this just bc DJ Dahi does it

Omg 😱 i do some of this shit in my Last beats... some is gonna drop soon, thanks navie and wish me some luck

If you’re able to I’d love to see you do a video on Kenny Segal and the work he’s done with Billy Woods. I feel like if anyone can do tutorials on unconventional production styles it would be you

Ive been literally watching vids on him all week now seeing this 😮

On one hand his beats are pretty cool...on the other hand its hilarious how little of a change is needed in popular music to be considered revolutionary...some off kilter drums and boom...He's a genius lol

No homo bro but i love you ❤ I’ve learnt a lot from your teachings ❤

Navie D is an inspiration and I will produce a song for him one day

Finally someone talks about Dangerous by Schoolboy Q. Honestly one of the songs that got me into producing along with like We Cry Together by Kendrick & Alchemist

Bro Navie helped my beat making so much over the course of 3 months its wild

informational video about DJ Dahi .....thanks Navia D

I been peeping his work forever. Didn't know he wasn't well known.

"Then I'll do a bunch of other stuff, while pretending like I'm building this on the spot. When in fact I actually spent hours working on this beforehand." Lmfao, you're the man bro.

BRO DAHI IS MY GUY BRO!!!! We doin a Dahi case study!! This shxt crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Money trees got me following the man, legendary! And lemme know by Vince staples from summertime 06 as well.

tbh most of my beats the past few years are like this, i just got tired of hi hats tbh and after years of producing trap drums just felt like they weren't hard to make anymore. i started by cutting out alot of hi hats and adding double open hats in weird places, then it led to taking out some snares and then adding them back in at weird places. Then the use of percs as snares in alot of drake songs from that time inspired me to start adding percs and switching percs and snares in weird places and next thing you know im making beats that dont make any sense and i cant explain at all how i made them but all my homies wanted them!!! basically what im saying is that it takes time, you have to change the way you make/understand beats, you can't just wake up and make a DJ Dahi type beat one day!! IMO you have to be a very very high level of producer to consistently make beats like this.

Very seldom is a rapper going to choose a beat with unconventional/off grid drums. By watching Dahl interviews, I suspect he does the drum changes during the session or in post production, after the vocals are already tracked.

This that underground sound. ❤️

Navie u should do a video editing tutorial 😭🥶

I mean that’s a fairly standard snare pattern as well it’s just used less often. Kaytranada uses that pattern on letstalkaboutit

u real asf for dis

Never heard of him, he's a genius indeed. He obviously understands rhythm very well, which most of us treat it as an afterthought.

give thank bro

dahi is def a legend and true unique talent

The first Dahi beat that made me take notice was Money Trees. Instant classic!

Navi, I have a request can you do a video for constructing beats in abnormal time signatures?

Buddy, when you teleported to France, we could see your arm dangling on the right, but the Eiffel tower vanished.

There is a polish producer DJ Steez that goes hand in hand with this

Great vid as always bro... appreciate the way you breakdown the tracks 👍🏿

i feel like he's inverting the fundamentals. kinda flipping them upside down, or using the down beats instead of the up beats. and also using the lesser used sounds in replace of the common ones. nice

DJ Dahi finally getting his flowers 💯💯💯 The beat for Worst behaviour honestly kinda changed my life I don’t think I even liked rap that much before that tbh I always use toms lol What you said about the delicacy of overdoing it is so beyond true Dahi is a monster He’s basically OVO era timbaland

NICE

I am the MUSIC 🎶 MAKER you never knew.

Hate to admit it, haven’t heard of him.. definitely going down a rabbit hole next

Can you do one for "Shawty Lo - Deh know"

Awesome video, man. Appreciate how you educate the beatmaking community with your videos.

2:06 how do you get your piano roll to look like this

That chopper beat is crazy

We changed song writing in 1995, then we changed hip hop in the early 2000’s, unfortunately most people just listen to what’s hot, so it goes unnoticed...until it’s discovered 20-30:years later....

Epik the dawn one of the best

Yep him and sounwave the 2 best producers in the generation rn

It’s feels more natural to make percussive choices like this when you’re tapping drums out like him as opposed to quantizing them on FL.

Can I throw 6ix (Logic's primary producer) in the mix of criminally underrated producers. Hes been making great beats consistently for decades

“this is absolutely insane.” Ok.

Drake's worst behavior is my favourite beat from Dahi!🔥🔥🔥

Bro just put me on game because I was a fan of all these songs but never looked up the producer

You have to know that Dahi its not from this Age, his too far to catch it

Hello Navie can you breakdown the sound of phantogram. especially the song fall in love which samples barbara mason. i know they do their own instruments on top of the sample but phantogram has also been hugely influenced by j dilla.i would love to see the breakdown of fall in love

Dahi is one of my inspirations
