From DC to Ye’s Studio in Spain Engineer • Producer • Artist | Hall of Frames

Engineer, producer, and artist Rasta Taj sits down with host Myra to unpack the DC → LA leap, the 24/7 studio grind (cat naps included), and how stamping mixes “Mixed by Rasta” helped his records reach Ye—leading to sessions in Spain. He breaks down collabs with Dave Blunts (“Expensive Taste,” “Under Oath”), balancing engineering with being an artist, dream collabs (2 Chainz, Money Man, Larry June), top influences (Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, André 3000), and why consistency beats talent. Stream “I Love Rasta” (album) + “Rare Breed” (favorite cut) on all platforms.
