Instrumental Hip Hop
Hip hop production is the creation of hip hop music in a recording studio. While the term encompasses all aspects of hip hop music creation, including recording the rapping of an MC, a turntablist or DJ providing a beat, playing samples and "scratching" using record players and the creation of a rhythmic backing track, using a drum machine or sequencer, it is most commonly used to refer to recording the instrumental, non-lyrical and non-vocal aspects of hip hop. Music production Hip hop producers may be credited as the record producer or songwriter; they may also supervise recording sessions. Hip hop instrumentals are colloquially referred to as beats or musical compositions, while the composer is called either a programmer, songwriter or beat maker. In the studio, the hip hop producer often functions as both the composer and as a traditional record producer. They are sometimes called Orchestrators, P. Diddy is an example of one, and they are ultimately responsible for the fi ...

He added, "Telephone Jim Jesus has created a sonic masterpiece, letting the music be the ultimate guide into the unknown." Bryant Rutledge of ''XLR8R'' described it as "an instrumental album of warm atmospherics and effected acoustic guitars, where dark and light constantly play off one another." On July 9, 2007, the ...
