A Guide to Statik Selektah

Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:00 PM PDT

In honor of Statik Selektah's announcement that the first single off his ninth studio album, The Balancing Act, will be released this Friday, I thought I'd make a post dedicated to his career and influence as a DJ and producer (as I did for The Alchemist back in March).

Inspired by DJ Premier and Funkmaster Flex, Boston youth Patrick Baril began his DJing career in middle school under the moniker DJ Statik, which evolved into a successful career performing at parties and clubs throughout the east coast. After attending school for audio production engineering, DJ Statik changed his name to Statik Selektah (inspired by a local reggae act's unconscious muttering), and started his "ShowOff" Brand, which he still uses today. The brand began as ShowOff Marketing, which helped to promote clients such as G-Unit Records, Reeboks, and P. Diddy's notorious "Vote or Die" campaign in 2004 (hilarious South Park version). In 2006 the brand evolved into a record label, releasing Termanology's Out The Gate album, followed shortly by Statik Selektah's solo LP, Spell My Name Right: The Album in 2007.

Spell My Name Right boasts one of the most impressive guest roosters of any hip-hop album in the 2000s (rivaled perhaps by The Alchemist's Chemical Warfare). Included on the tracklist were: DJ Premier, Termanology, Styles P, Q-Tip, Talib Kweli, Consequence, Joell Ortiz, Kool G Rap, Sheek Louch, Freeway, Cassidy, DJ Khaled, Red Café, Mims, Uncle Murda, Jadakiss, Royce da 5'9", Cormega, Reks, Doug E. Fresh, Tony Touch, Scram Jones, Esoteric, Clinton Sparks, Big Shug, Lil Fame, AZ, Slum Village, Granite State, Evidence, The Alchemist, Skyzoo, KRS-One, and Large Professor - among others. The album included some of the best acts of the 80s (Doug E. Fresh, KRS), the 90s (Q-Tip, G Rap, Jadakiss, Preemo), and the 2000s (Royce, Evidence, Termanology). It even had DJ Khaled before he turned into a meme.

Highlight tracks: "6 in the Morning" (featuring Joell Ortiz, Kool G Rap & Sheek Louch), "Stop, Look, Listen" (featuring Styles P, Termanology & Q-Tip), "Punch Out!" (featuring Big Shug; great Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! sample), and "Got Me Goin' (Hip Hop)" (featuring Slum Village & Granite State), but everything on here is really worth listening to.

Statik would then release Stick 2 the Script in 2008, including many of the features from his first album, as well as adding M.O.P, Little Brother, Redman, and CL Smooth, among others. Highlight Tracks: "For the City" (featuring M.O.P. & Jadakiss), "On the Marquee" (featuring Little Brother, Joe Scudda & Chaundon), and "Take It All Back" (featuring Reks, Ea$y Money, Royce Da 5'9" & Paula Campbell). Here's a pretty good review of this album from before P4K went to shit.

Statik Selektah has released six phenomenal albums since then, all of which featured strong production, scratching, and feature performances. Each album deserves it's own write up, but for the sake of space I'll instead highlight something that Statik does exceptionally well (perhaps better than any other producer, IMO) across all these albums - his ability to bring together great, yet unique, collaborations between artists. Statik features a large range of artists on his projects, and the results are always great tracks made up of artists you wouldn't expect to see together. Some notable examples include:

"Groupie Love" (featuring Mac Miller & Josh Xantus)

"Black Swan" (featuring Nitty Scott, MC & Rapsody)

"Bird's Eye View" (featuring Raekwon, Joey Badass & Black Thought) (personal favorite Statik beat)

"21 & Over" (featuring Sean Price & Mac Miller)

"Camouflage Dons" (featuring Smif-n-Wessun & Flatbush Zombies)

"Carry On" (featuring Joey Badass & Freddie Gibbs)

"The Imperial" (featuring Action Bronson, Royce Da 5'9" & Black Thought)

"Alarm Clock" (featuring Ab-Soul, Jon Connor & Logic)

"Beautiful Life" (featuring Action Bronson & Joey Badass)

"Murder Game" (featuring Smif-n-Wessun, Young M.A & Buckshot)

"Scratch Off" (featuring CJ Fly, Talib Kweli & Cane)

"Legendary" by Joey Bada$$ (featuring J. Cole) (not from a Statik album, but a great collaboration he likely had a role in creating)

"But You Don't Hear Me Tho" (featuring The Lox & Mtume) (Mtume sample)

"Nobody Move" (featuring Raekwon & Royce da 5'9")

These albums are all filled with classic tracks and I encourage everyone to listen to them in full, but these songs represent some of the best artist collaborations he's created.

Not only are Statik's studio albums incredibly strong, he is also able to make phenomenal collaborative albums with rappers. Notable collaborative albums include: Lord Giveth, Lord Taketh Away (with Freddie Gibbs), Well-Done (with Action Bronson), TrillStatik (with Bun B), Gran Turismo (with Curren$y), Rudebwoy (with CJ Fly), as well as his 1982 series with Termanology, among others. Statik brings unique production for the artists he works with (heavy drums for Freddie Gibbs, smooth baselines for Curren$y, Jamaiican riddims for CJ Fly, etc.), highlighting his diversity as a producer.

Beyond his own albums, Statik Selektah boasts production credits across dozens of classic albums, beginning with Reks' Along Came the Chosen, for which he produced "Work" (feat. Lucky Dice, B. Knox, & Rip Shop), in 2001. He's worked extensively with Pro Era in the past, and played a critical role in developing their careers. Some of the artists who feature him on their albums include Nas, M.O.P, Styles P, Sean Price, Raekwon, Freddie Gibbs, Westside Gunn, and Wiz Khalifa, as well as many others. Most recently, Statik had production credits on Smoke DZA's Homegrown, for which he produced "Bank Withdrawal" (feat. Tish Hyman, Numberz) and "Union Dues" (feat. NymLo, Berner) - released on October 2, 2020. Here's a (near) comprehensive list of Statik Selektah's production discography - his output really is crazy, I definitely recommend checking this list out, he's produced for almost every major rapper of the 2000s and 2010s.

I'll end this post by highlighting Statik Selektah's impressive career as a DJ - both touring and on the radio. Statik Selektah has served as a DJ on tour for many acclaimed rappers, including Guru (RIP), Q-Tip, Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era, The Lox, and many others. He's performed in famous venues (such as The Boiler Room in London) and festivals (whatever festival this was filmed at, if you know pls drop it in the comments, cameos by The Alchemist, Joey Bada$$, Kirk Knight, and Schoolboy Q circa 2012-2013).

Statik began his radio DJing career in 1996 at the age of 14, spinning records at WPEA's radio station in a boarding school he did not attend. Since then, Statik has DJed and hosted eight radio shows nationwide, including his still-running 'Showoff Radio' program on the Eminem-fronted Sirius XM station Shade 45, run under his ShowOff brand (check out ShowOff's YouTube page here)

At the moment, Statik Selektah does a lot of promo on his Patreon, which I don't care to pay to subscribe to (though I've heard he posts good content there). His upcoming single, Keep it Moving featuring Joey Bada$$, Nas, and Gary Clark Jr. will be released this Friday, 10/16.

Mods pls don't take this down :)

Edit: Stick 2 The Script released in 2008, not 2009

Edit 2: Sent this to Statik and he posted it on his Twitter! Made my day! Everyone make sure to buy The Balancing Act when it releases!
