A-Trak Breaks Down His ‘rockstar’ Routine

A-Trak

After giving fans a look at how he produces, A-Trak has shared how he constructs a routine.

In the 12-minute video, the Fool’s Gold chief breaks down his flip of Post Malone and 21 Savage‘s smash hit, “rockstar.” A-Trak talks through his ideas and works them out live on the tables. In the end, he performs his finished routine.

“I wanted to share more than the final flips of these songs,” the Montreal native said in a Facebook post. “I wanted to start sharing the creative process, as I come up with the patterns and how the ideas come together.”

Post Malone’s “rockstar” has remained atop Billboard’s Hot 100 for a fifth consecutive week. The track, which was certified double platinum on Tuesday, was DJcity’s 3rd most-downloaded song of September.
