As a producer, artist, DJ and founder of HARD Events, Gary Richards aka DESTRUCTO always keeps it real. His uncompromising approach to music spurned the creation of g-house, a new hip-hop and house hybrid in the form of 2014’s “West Coast” EP featuring rap heavyweights such as YG, Ty Dolla $ign, Problem, Too $hort, Warren G and Kurupt. Earlier this week the world heard his newest track 4Real featuring Ty Dolla $ign and iLoveMakonnen via Zane Lowe‘s global Beats 1 show and Pitchfork. The song, accompanied by its video featuring the three artists, is now available.
Beginning with a strikingly smooth vocal from Ty Dolla $ign punctuated by fingersnaps and nocturnal synths, the track slips into DESTRUCTO’s signature style with additional production from Wax Motif and Styalz Fuego, dripping with west coast resin and house boom. iLoveMakonnen blesses the track with a flavorful and fiery verse, and everybody rocks together for the psychedelically sexy video directed by Agata Alexander.
DESTRUCTO debuted 4Real live with Ty Dolla $ign and iLoveMakonnen as special surprise guests on January’s HOLY SHIP! electronic music cruise, immediately fueling anticipation for the track. It also marks a new dawn for DESTRUCTO as the first release on his label Hits HARD.
