How To Make Y2K R&B Like Tommy Richman, The Kid Laroi, The Neptunes, & Justin Timberlake

In this video, Austin breaks down how to take elements from Y2K R&B records produced by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo (The Neptunes), and incorporate them into a modern production. Songs like Girls by The Kid Laroi, Million Dollar Baby and Devil Is A Lie by Tommy Richman, and Who by Jimin all use elements and techniques highlighted in this video to deliver a modern twist on a classic and nostalgic sound.
