At this point, you’re probably still blasting that Travis Scott ASTROWORLD album because it has plenty of bangers. Whether “Carousel” is one of your favorites from the effort or not, Hit-Boy takes us behind the beat in this episode of Deconstructed. The producer explains how he got in the studio with Travis and Frank Ocean to begin with and then breaks down how he crafted the beat for the album cut. From the chords he played to the Beastie Boys sample and “disgusting” 808 he added at the end, Hit remembers Scott jumping up and down in the studio while freestyling the whole song.
Peep how it all went down up top in the clip.
