Behind the Beats: Alex Da Kid

At this rate, Alex Da Kid might want to consider changing his name to Alexander Da Great pretty soon.



The British beatsmith was nominated for five Grammys this week for his work on B.o.B's blockbuster hit "Airplanes" and Eminem's chart-topper "Love the Way You Lie." He also produced Nicki Minaj's "Massive Attack."

While he only has a few placements under his belt, the producer has a knack for knocking what he does do out of the park.

His next big single comes courtesy of his work with Dr. Dre.

The veteran hip-hop producer invited Alex Da Kid to work with him on a track for his forthcoming Detox project, "I Need a Doctor" featuring Eminem.

"That was amazing," ADK told Mixtape Daily about the experience. "He's one of my favorite producers of all time. Everybody knows how much of a perfectionist he is: He's been working on his album for 11 years. For him to bring me in, trust me, not micro-manage me, and let me bring what I do to the table, I can't even describe how that makes me feel."

The song recently arrived online, and on the number, Eminem attempts to turn the tables on his mentor. The MC credited Dre with being one of the people to help him out of his funk the past few years, so on "I Need a Doctor," Em looks to repay the producer.

"It hurts when I see you struggle/ You come to me with ideas/ You say they're pieces, so I'm puzzled," Eminem raps on the track. " 'Cause the sh-- I hear is crazy/ But you're either getting lazy/ Or don't believe in you no more/ Seem like your own opinion is not one you can form/ Can't make a decision/ You keep questioning yourself, second guessing/ It's almost like you're begging for my help/ Like I'm your leader; you're supposed to be my mentor/ I can endure no more/ Don't you remember who you are?"

"I think it's gonna be huge," Alex Da Kid said. "It's just my opinion, but it's one of my favorite songs that I did and just what it means for hip-hop."

[Stan]

I Need a Doctor is sicc sicc track, I love it.  Real deep shit.  I bet they will mix it a better, sounds like the beat/vocals are flangeing a bit.  I don't know if that was added after by someone or the producer(s). 

Great song ... I have to monitor myself from listening too much cuz that melodic hook gets stuck in my head all day

Getting a bit carried away I think. Like everyone, just wait and see how it all turns out.  Maybe get a hobby or something until the album is released.

[EnzoUK]

till i see the official tracklist i aint believin anyones bullshit

[Lunatic]

LOL if this is a Detox track when the song structure is clearly an Eminem song. That would be wack.

[Jimmy H.]

Of those three tracks, I actually like "I Need A Doctor" the most and I'd say it fits the Detox theme fine.

[BiggBoogaBiff]

Lol this nigga said get a hobby, fuck outta here.  this shit right here nigga is life!

[BiggBoogaBiff]

Its cool but i`d rather listen to something else.  I like tha beat but this is an Eminem album type of song, Encorest type of vibe.  But if Dre wants to put it on Detox then who am I to complain.  When Dre raps Eminem`s shit it always sounds stiff.

[Will_B]

Sorry that track was pop yawn. Unfinished/annoying/just plain sucky beat.

[Mista Rosa]

Lol this nigga said get a hobby, fuck outta here.

That was a funny line.

Didn't listen to that song, i'll just listen official singles and the album when it comes out.

[Fonkarround]

I doubt it will be on Detox.

But if so, its a perfect intro. Imagine that continued by some new age shit from Dre.

[TRG]

i dont see how it can be on Detox. it would be a perfect for a recovery re-release which then leads to detox.

still cant get into alex da kids beats either.

[DjKeyz]

So the Kush video is for tomorrow right ?
