How Blackburry Produced “8 Bands” Remix ft. Rick Ross & Jermaine Dupri
)By Blackburry
I go by Blackburry, but my real name is Christ Adjiri — a producer raised in Florida, born in Africa, where music runs deep in the bloodline. Before I ever had industry connections, plaques, or a studio setup, I had one belief: “If I can make a baby, a grandma, or a kid dance… I’ll forever be rich.” That quote has stayed with me every time I touch a beat. It’s not about money — it’s about legacy, impact, and soul. 🎷 The Making of “8 Bands” The beat behind “8 Bands” started with a feeling. I remember finding an old-school soul sample that had this gritty yet emotional tone. I flipped it, chopped it, and wrapped it with 808s and sharp Florida-style drums. The goal? Create something timeless but street-ready. I wanted to give LaTheGoat space to float, while still pushing the energy to a new level. If you listen closely, you’ll hear my voice at the beginning of the track — a signature I left behind to mark where this story began. 🔧 Engineered by a Legend: DJ Swift What brought the whole track together was the incredible engineering by DJ Swift. His ear elevated the song’s clarity and bounce, making it radio-ready and clean enough for a remix that would go way beyond our expectations. ⚠️ The Remix That Changed Everything Not long after the original release, Rick Ross and Jermaine Dupri jumped on the remix. That’s when everything shifted. Today, the “8 Bands (Remix)” has over 1 million Spotify streams and continues to gain momentum — not just as a record, but as a career-defining moment for me. 📜 Verified Credits & Platforms ✅ WhoSampled — Blackburry Profile :https://www.whosampled.com/Blackburry/ ✅ AllMusic — Producer Credits : https://www.allmusic.com/artist/black... ✅ Songstats — Track Performance : https://songstats.com/track/3d1thg89/... 🎥 Watch: Production Playlist : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7Nyc... 💖 A Shout Out to My Mentors Before the plaques and placements, there were brothers who believed in me.
