It is after hours and most people are asleep.
From a second story bedroom, hip-hop producer Tack-Fu bends over his studio equipment, listening and re-listening to a dope drum beat. From his second story window, he glances up from time to time, he can see cars pass by below. It is after hours, but he works on. He is determined to whip the drum beat into a quality sounding piece. Six months from now the simple beat will be added to strings, basslines, and various percussion elements that the listener will feel.

It is after hours, a few hurried notes scraweled on the back of an old notebook detailing a solo instrumental break Tack-Fu has discovered needle dropping through an old pile of records.

These are the phases of beat making that perhaps not even hip-hop fans have ever thought of before. No mention of it in the CD liner notes. No mention of it in magazine interviews. Why such devotion? Anyone who purchases Tack-Fu produced recordings will tell you, the kind of emotions and beneficial good vibes blessing the ear cannot be measured in monetary funds. Music production work is done purely out of free will, and it's real pay is pride in work well done. Those who understand the creative mind will know just what that means.

What Tack-Fu Productions gives the listeners is a devotion to music which is measured neither by the dollar nor the clock. Good hip-hop music is heard and believed, which provides the audience hours of listening satisfaction, and the record label shines. To produce these soundscapes which can trigger these emotions is a challange to a man of fine talent and imagination who loves hip-hop music.

It is not an easy thing to do, but Tack-Fu, the man behind the operation, has been successful at doing it. The men who assist in pre & post-production work would succed in any branch of music production. They know how to appeal to the public, their skills are on par with elite production teams charging and spending considerablely more amounts of cash to get the same results. Every ingredient in every track has been developed to a degree not equaled by anyone in Iowa City or in the midwest.

Sound quality, knowledge of the craft, creativity---
Tack-Fu Productions has it all.
