R.O.A.D. Podcast – BUCKWILD: On Producing for Biggie, D.I.T.C., and Shaping the NY Sound

This week on @RoadPodcast, we sit down with legendary producer @buckwild_ditc as he traces his full arc as a producer, starting with how he met Goldfinger at (01:14) and how tracks like Rakim’s “You Got Soul” at (05:10) pushed him toward beat making.

The crew dives into the Roosevelt Room record convention at (13:10), where Pete Rock, Large Pro, Q Tip, Capri and others found the records that shaped classic hip hop, with Goldfinger adding his perspective at (23:45).

They break down the core of the New York sound at (15:10), covering O.C.’s “Times Up” and the four to eight bar sample loop that defined 1994 and NYC.

Buckwild speaks on digging for fresh textures at (25:01), the origins of Digging In The Crates, and how he used the “Seed of Love” sample before Just Blaze flipped it for Jay Z on “Public Service Announcement,” then explains how he met O.C. at (19:50).

He runs through his top five productions at (39:00), breaks down why he insists on being in the studio during recording sessions at (22:01), and gets into the realities of clearing samples.

The Biggie stories land at the center of the episode at (26:14).

The conversation shifts into whether 2025 is a strong year for hip hop but a tough one for clubs at (32:51), why one-liners and real bars feel missing, and when the culture changed at (41:11) as labels downsized and the SoundCloud era took over.

Buckwild reflects on chasing hits at (57:10), the story behind “Whoa!,” the beats Jay Z passed on, and what it meant to miss those records erupting in the club.

The episode closes with thoughts on Saigon’s album at (1:00:51) and why a DITC compilation would be difficult to assemble at (1:11:01)
