Zadok On Working On Lil Nas Music. Zadok’s work has gained popularity not only in South Ah but also in the United States after he was approached by Lil Nas. The famed producer and musical director helped Lil Nas X deliver a memorable performance at the BET Awards on July 3, 2021.
Speaking to SA Hip Hop Mag, Zadok described the experience as being pretty intense. He only had 24 hours to get the job done, so he worked ceaselessly. The famed producer said that his first project with Lil Nas was the BET Awards rehearsals in LA.
“To be very honest, I’m a product of the internet, I’m a child of the internet era and what became a career built of it,” he said. “So they (Lil Nas) reached out by the internet because they saw my stuff on the internet and then IG one thing leads to another, yo we got this project.”
“I have the experience so I was able to deliver. I barely had 24 hours to send back something before they had rehearsals in LA. The first project was the BET Awards. I worked on that thing through the night, I sent through the final product I sent it 5 pm, 6 pm our time which is like 9 AM there, that was like my cut off time,” he added.
Explaining how he and Lil Nas managed to integrate and work together despite being two worlds apart, Zadok said; “so they sent me what they’ve worked on and they sent me the specifics of how they wanted the performance to go, he said.
“We had like a conversation before that, so we had like a verbal phone call conversation. Shout to his team Take A Daytrip, Denzel reached out we had a conversation and we just kind of figured out what we wanted it to be musically, then after that, I just worked on it, added my stuff, my sounds, base element hits for the arrangments and then send it back,” said Zadok.
