YoungKio Talks Making of "Old Town Road", Selling Beat For $30, Signing to CashMoneyAP + More

YoungKio Interview on The Producergrind Podcast. We linked up with Producer YoungKio out in LA for the exclusive long requested interview with the now Diamond producer and creator of the longest running #1 Billboard single ever! We talked about him starting his career selling beats online until he eventually sold the Lil Nas X "Old Town Road" beat to the then undiscovered star. Since then he has dropped out of college, moved to America, signed to internet beat selling legend CashMoneyAP (CashGang), and cashed out on some big royalty checks from the success of his breakout hit which has led to many Lil Nas X old town road remix versions. Another dope producergrind interview with many more to come.

A lot of producers stay away from sampling for fear of clearance difficulty, cost etc. Has the success of old town road and the sampling of Nine Inch Nails changed Kio's view on sampling? How do you feel about the process now that you've gone through it?
