In an exclusive Club Ambition podcast interview, renowned producer AraabMUZIK sits down with host SOUND to delve into his highly-anticipated collaborative album with Dave East, “Living Proof.” During the conversation, AraabMUZIK offers a sneak peek into the project’s standout tracks, upcoming collaborations, and his unique approach to music production.
AraabMUZIK, who produced the entire album, sheds light on its creative process. The lead single, “Bus Down” featuring Fabolous, stands out with its four-minute runtime—an intentional departure from the quick-hit format dominating today’s charts. Recorded during the 2020 lockdown, the track reflects both artists’ commitment to artistic integrity and timeless craftsmanship. “Perco,” the album’s opening song, was carefully chosen to set the tone for what listeners can expect.
In addition to a standard release, a deluxe version with five to six additional tracks is planned, promising even more high-quality production and sharp lyricism. AraabMUZIK emphasizes that his production philosophy centers around creating “timeless” sounds—a trait that has defined much of his career.
The conversation also explores AraabMUZIK’s broader industry impact. From receiving nods from heavyweights like Post Malone and Metro Boomin to connecting with artists such as Cardi B and A$AP Rocky, AraabMUZIK has cultivated respect across genres. He even touched on the origin of his iconic producer tag, which was recorded by a high school classmate back in 2007—a nostalgic touchstone in a career filled with innovation.
Fans can look forward to more from AraabMUZIK, as he confirmed the completion of “Electronic Dream 2” and teased its future release. When working with artists, AraabMUZIK maintains a thoughtful approach, often curating a small selection of beats to ensure every collaboration feels deliberate and impactful.
