Young Dangerous Heart (Subtitle Album)

Production Initially, Subtitle created the other version of the album that he solely produced. In a 2020 interview, he recalled, "The dudes from Gold Standard weren't into it because it went all over the place, production-wise and they needed a more cohesive project to release on a semi-large scale." He released that version himself, under the title ''Lost Love Stays Lost''. For two thirds of ''Young Dangerous Heart'', he got an outside production. He recalled, "As a result, I wrote better songs and the outside production made me step my beat game up, which gave me some type of credibility as a producer of some sort." His main sonic influences for the album were Slum Village's '' Fan-Tas-Tic (Vol. 1)'', Sonic Youth's ''Washing Machine'', and Kanye West's '' College Dropout'', as well as the Mars Volta.
