For the past 21 days, I’ve had something special to look forward to: a new Pink Slip song. Pink Slip, the Atlanta born producer, has varied his tastes across darkwave, trap, and future bass genres, releasing track after unstoppable track. This kid is 19 and he’s producing trapsterpieces. #ThreeWeeksofBeats aka that time he released a track a day for the first 21 days of the April, shows just how creative and ambitious his production game is hyping up to be. Most notably, he highlights other Belmont University student musicians on his tracks, and it’s his true appreciation for music that has gotten him recognition thus far. With even more songs lined up for the summer, Pink Slip celebrated spring, his birthday, and a little holiday called 4/20 throughout his weeks of beats and produced tracks more than worthy of notoriety.

This is the track that made me fall in love with PS. This song has such a sexiness to it and his “Soulful Start” really jumps off. This track is going to rock your socks off, babe.

Day 2 is very laidback and melodic with it’s jazzy guitar riffs and cute piano hits. This track is simplistically beautiful and seeps in like a serene dream.

This beat is sick. It’s super catchy and that bass line is such a driving force. This is the perfect example of what future bass music is becoming and also shows just one side of the multifaceted producer.

This Mike Will Made It inspired trap beat is one of the first of many Pink Slip trapsterpieces. His hip-hop production is smart in that it leaves space for potential vocals and his beats are created with that balance in mind.

This track has an amazing use of chimes. Chimes over that bass line all day every day. This track is sultry smooth.

I didn’t know that underwater trap existed until now and I guarantee it’s something you’ll easily become obsessed with.

Pink Slip, you are a trap star. This song is sick, just listen to that fat bass.

This song takes a look at the lighter side of hip-hop. It’s equally as well produced and hard hitting as his previous tracks, but plays off of a mellower side of trap.

The quality of his production continues to amaze me. This track has some dark driving synth and is balanced with lighter piano notes. It has this phat echoey sound to it with a dope melody over it. It has a certain groovy bass to it.

Trap to the max. This track is an escape into a pounding darkness.

Day 11 is funky fresh. This song shows how smart he is, really utilizing pauses in this track. He perfectly places each hit and drop in this summery, upbeat track.

Each track just continues to grow on the last. He takes future bass and trap to a whole new level.

This appropriately titled track continues to explore the limitless options for Yung Pink Slip. His beats continue to intrigue.

This song is sick! That bass line is just to die for and c’mon, you can’t help but dance a little to this track.

This is everything I wanted this flip to be. He takes the classic and spins it adding so much detail and taking this track deep into 2015 future bass music.

I love that he went back to his roots. His production with vocalists is phenomenal. He pays so close attention to really showcasing the vox and his songwriting skills are insanely good.

Wait for that drop….and now put it on repeat.

Pink Slip is a synth genius. His incorporation of deep synth hits into his trap production make his songs utterly unstoppable.

I love everything about this track from the piano keys to the drum, the funky horns and that repeated ascending loop (which is phenomenal).

This chill track is the perfect 4/20 anthem.

This flip is so good. This totally brings James Bond into the 2015 . This track is exciting and this beat is just so catchy. It’s a wonderful end to his streak.
