"I don't want to be anybody, I want to be somebody," wegonebeok says as he reflects on his success thus far. "I don't want to be mediocre at anything." The Charlotte, North Carolina producer has made major waves in the scene's revitalized underground, helping launch the rises of budding stars like Glokk40Spaz, OsamaSon and Nettspend, among many others. This is one of the many reasons why ok isn't another run-of-the-mill producer, he's calculated, creative and original in everything he does.
Producing tracks like OsamaSon's "troops," "Blonde" as well as Nettspend's breakout hit "Nothing Like Uuu," high-energy, angelic beats are just the start of ok's story. He imagines much more for himself, working alongside pop stars and even opera singers in the future. The producer's drive to become a derivative "somebody" in a scene filled with clout chasers and trend-hoppers is apparent when he speaks on his creative process. Whether it's the wine-Casamigos secret concoction flowing freely in his studio sessions--and throughout his conversation with OGM host Hakeem Rowe--wegonebeok evidently knows what it takes to be great, soaking up game and being a student above everything else.
With a heightened sense of awareness and ability to navigate collaborations off "gut feelings," ok doesn't pigeonhole himself (or his sound) to one specific lane. "I try to make beautiful music," he says. "I'm a very harsh critic of myself." This has not only helped him mold the swag and sonic landscape of the new underground, but has ultimately lifted himself into bigger conversations. With a compilation tape in the works, which he reveals will be packed with new wave talent and artists "you wouldn't expect," know that everything will be ok for wegonebeok as he continues his ascent to producer stardom.
In our latest OGM interview, Hakeem sits down with rising producer wegonebeok to speak on working with Glokk40Spaz, OsamaSon, Nettspend, making "Nothing Like Uuu," "Blonde," his producer influences, overcoming beat blocks, his creative process, meeting Lazer Dim and much more! #OGM

Na frr
Having “ok” as your name is like playing in hard mode fr. And he STILL MADE IT 🔥🔥
you make the name the name doesn't make you
@@yooshipalacebeats type shi
@@yooshipalacebeatsfr but it’s hard to be found on the internet with such a general, short name
@@yooshipalacebeatsthats how it should be but people hate to hate on shi so its difficult
Fr pure talent
Hardest producer out rn
he's the top 5
meh
Top 2 tbh
@@pphnxxxstop hating
top 1
LEGION and ok are some of the best producers to blow up recently
al chapo too
@@死肉Chapo ain’t blow yet n he not as talented as legion n ok
@@bankrollcoreyyou do not know 😂 chapo better
@@1aldiablo Nigga u obviously gon say dat u have a chapo fanpage😂😂😂
@@bankrollcorey listen to that glokk x osama tape gang
troops being one of the first songs they made is insane that song is 10/10
WE GONE BE OK 🗣️🗣️🔥‼️
There’s no better feeling than making a new song / beat that really surprises you n knocks your socks off. Like damn- I really just made this just with my own thoughts n my own fingers lol
Naw fr
Shit feels 10x better when u did it yourself with no loops or knowledge of music theory
@@praxusjoon2478 that’s a fact broski
no cap & then you’ll be riding around replaying the beat
@@zyxtrr yea bro ngl I overplay it to the point where I get bored & gotta take a break from listening to it constantly lol- all my current favorites are new fresh ideas that are still “mindblowing” to me same when other people hear for the 1st time
Goated already every beat he puts out is insane
not really
@@IsaacBoadu-sy7mz hatin
Damn man I had no clue ok was from Winston , I’m from Winston and I make beats, just hearing him talk bout Tb was like “damn” I went to Hanes middle school with him and he would freestyle in the cafeteria in the morning before the bell rang. TB definitely had crazy potential. The whole city knows finaygo when it turn on. That’s love bro , it’s a small world .
NEED the starboy interview😭
blow this comment up ogn has to see this
@@takewealthfr I been waiting on it
bro seems so cool and the harold and maude shoutout is such a sign that bro is tapped in
this is one of the best interviews i’ve ever watched. Ok is taking the concept of making beats to a different level .it’s niche and dedicated on an art level, not mainstream music level
i realy fw this interview, i hate using loops as well cuz i feel like cheating and the way he spoke about his slow come up when he didn’t feel like he perfected his craft to the max potential so he remained more lowkey, it really resonated w me
thanks for the 50 min really
we gone be ok with this one.
had a hard time reading this corny comment, popped off w this one twin
ts kinda meh
North Carolina really be making stars we really got the Culture of the south
no cap

Keem is one of the best interviewers ive watched
