• MyGuyMars

  From Kanye’s Stronger to Nipsey Hussle’s LA sound and Chris Brown’s viral hits — producer MyGuyMars tells the stories behind the music and the faith that fuels his craft. A true student of sound, MyGuyMars takes On That Note inside the studio sessions that shaped a generation. He remembers working beside Kanye West during the Graduation era, watching the Stronger beat evolve from a raw Daft Punk sample into a cultural anthem. He recalls helping Nipsey Hussle craft his “it has to sound like it looks” brand of rich West Coast luxury — and the viral Chris Brown track that was born from a happy studio accident. Raised in the church and trained on gospel organ, Mars connects his early musicianship to modern hip-hop production, breaking down how faith, melody, and experimentation drive his process. Alongside Shawn Stockman, he reflects on the respect producers deserve, the evolution of LA’s sound, and the creative discipline that turns raw inspiration into timeless records.

• How Candyman’s “Knockin’ Boots” Took Over Hip-Hop | From Battling Ice Cube, & Becoming Dre's Wingman to Hitmaking With Johnny J

  Candyman—the “original boot knocker”—sits with Sean Stockman to unpack the real story behind **“Knockin’ Boots”*: the Dre cosign, the swap-meet hustle, turning a B-side into a platinum smash, and the sample-clearance chess with Betty Wright and Rose Royce that almost killed the record before it exploded. He also rewinds to Washington Prep—Sir Jinx introducing him to Dr. Dre, a campus battle vs. Ice Cube, and becoming Dre’s “wingman” in the LA club era. They trace the hit’s DNA—Slick Rick’s story-rhyme influence, the SB-12/SP-1200 era, and why those first 5–10 seconds (“Attention all ladies…”) still light up shows. Candyman breaks down how Tone Lōc and touring cracked doors open, how Thump Records/Lowrider Soundtrack gave the song its second life, and how a nine-day sprint landed him at Epic Records. There’s inside baseball on splits, the Color Me Badd “I Wanna Sex You Up” overlap, and the baseline link he points out with Lighter Shade of Brown – “On a Sunday Afternoon”—plus shoutouts to DJ Quik and more LA heavyweights.
