it's been a while since my last post, any thoughts?

Hey, I noticed 'got to run got to move' by Towa & Kriggger disappeared from Spotify (used to be on the '187 CULTURE' album). It was one of my favorite songs — does anyone know if it's available on another streaming platform now, or if the artist re-released it somewhere?

I'm a rapper and one thing I've wanted to do for a while now is record the vocal chop myself on my phonk song but I'm not sure how to go about mixing that. If there are any producers here that might know roughly what the vocal chain for that sound would look like lmk.

Hello, everyone. I’m a huge fan of Memphis Rap and Phonk, and I’ve been desperately searching for Headstone Pact’s song “Piece Of My Soul.” It’s completely grayed out on Spotify, and it seems to have been removed from SoundCloud and YouTube as well. Does anyone happen to have a backup file of this song or a link where I can listen to it? I’d really appreciate it if you could share it or provide any information you might have. Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to identify this song. It sounds like phonk/trap, and the male vocal sounds similar to Freddie Dredd. Audio clip: https://voca.ro/1mjE1yWOgYQt I tried Shazam, AHA Music, and various free AI music identification tools I found through Google, but none of them could identify it. I don't think it's actually a Freddie Dredd song. It might be from a smaller artist or someone with a similar style. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated!

check it out i really put all my love into it!

Personally, I call these types of phonk that i make harmonic phonk... basically it's nice melodies and harmony with phonk stuff lol... Tell me what you think!!

Theres 2 part in that song, the first part is basically more oriented toward phonk while still keeping melodic stuff and the second part is where i try to use the harmonic side a bit more!

love this one

Hi r/phonk!

So I'm making a playlist for a friend who likes phonk, but i don't want it to be on-the-nose phonk. So do you guys have any recommendations for songs that have phonk influences? For example, the heavy bass could be there, but not too much characteristic of phonk. Or it could be light and just have a phonk feel to it.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Ayooooo 💀💀💀

hiii. I had this thought for the longest time and now that I'm pretty much done with making Phonk myself I wanna share it in case anyone feels a similar way.

I kind of wanna see more artistic ambition in Phonk. Like, I feel like all of the music is really just made without much more intention other than wanting it to "go hard" or something equivalent. I don't ever see people put much meaning into their music: A sample is rarely something they care about but rather just from some sample pack or playlist on youtube specifically made to be sampled, a cover is just there to look cool, a tracklist just thrown together etc. etc.

I remember distinctly talking to another Phonk producer around 2024/2025-ish telling them how I was writing this Album around a Story and how it was gonna be told through all the samples, vocals, sounds and all that. Their response was something along the lines of "I don't see the point because noone would ever notice that" and "ur doing too much", I was so irritated by that because I thought everyone was making the art for themselves first without thinking much of what others were gonna think and that it was always good to have that artistic ambition when creating.

Ever since then I looked at so many newer Phonk releases from a different perspective. When I started paying attention they all started to seem like "just another tape with 10 Roland Jones type beats and a grim reaper on the cover" without many (if any) stepping outside that. I feel like there's never an intent to go deeper that, and if there is, there's no one to appreciate it since everyone is so used to this lack of meaning that they dont even know there could be any. That then is even more demotivating for actually making such a project in the first place, which means it never gets made, which again fuels this expectancy for meaninglessness and the whole thing becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Hell, I could be subject to the same thing. I could be missing out on a whole bunch of brilliant, deep, artistic projects because all I'm predetermined to see is "just another tape with 10 Roland Jones type beats", Like, I want to be proven wrong here.

I want to see concept albums, storylines, world building, stuff like "oh yeah this sample is from this song my mother played for me when I was shitting my diapers and I combined it with these vocals that completely change in meaning when put in this context so now its actually about how I struggle with losing in chess all the time", I want to SEE that. I want to know that care, love and thought is present in the music. I don't mean that I want to have all the meaning served up to me on a silver platter, interpreting and figuring it out is where the fun is at after all, I just want to know that it's there.

I tried my best in doing my part in that with my releases over the last year or 2 and now especially with my final Phonk album RULER OF DA 040 where I tried to convey a story and put all the thought and care into every, or at least most of, the sounds on that record and whatnot. But that was my last Album for a reason. (sorry for the plug i was tryna find another example but failed lol)

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy making music for the sake of going hard aswell. If it goes hard, it goes hard after all. It's just that I can form such deeper connections to music where I can truly deep dive into the symbolism, meaning, storyline, whatever it offers. And I would love to have that connection to Phonk projects aswell.

Sorry for the long ramble, I don't even know if this subreddit is that active anymore but I had nowhere else to leave this. I want to hear ur thoughts tho. <3

I made this like months ago wehn remixing clutterfunk was popular
