Chords for From Scratch: A Freddie Dredd song in 6 minutes | FL Studio tutorial

[Em] _ [A] _ [Gbm] _ Freddie Dredd is a Canadian rapper from Oshawa, Ontario, who rose to fame by releasing music on SoundCloud.
He's best [E] known for his singles [Gb] like Who is Freddie Dredd and Opal, which blew up on TikTok with over
2.7 million videos currently featuring his track.
His style is known for being very gritty and low-fi, with [A] production that closely mirrors that of the funk sub-genre.
[D] His instrumental production often features a juxtaposition between smooth laid-back [Bb] vintage samples [Gb] and hard-hitting 808 bass lines.
Freddie Dredd's main producer goes by the name Ryan C, and from what I've been able to gather online,
there is some speculation that Freddie Dredd and Ryan C are the same person.
But other [B] sources claim that Ryan C is [Em] Freddie's cousin.
[A] Let's take a look at his [B] discography.
In 2017,
he dropped the Fade [D] EP, [G] followed by the album entitled Dredd, and in 2018, he dropped Pink Lotus.
Let's get into the cook-up.
First, we're going to locate a suitable sample.
I'm going to search for some [A] Japanese bossa nova.
[G] I came across this song here that I think would be a good fit for Freddie's style.
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Am] _
_ [D] _ _ [Cm] I loaded the sample into Edison, and I began cutting out portions [Gm] of it that I want to use.
[Cm] I dragged and dropped the sample chops into the playlist, and I time-stretched them.
I [Gm] ended up cutting out three different samples.
Here's what they sound like.
[C] _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ [Cm] I added some effects.
First, I applied some Super [Gm] VHS, then I added a decapitator.
I applied a bandpass with an EQ, and [Cm] I used this effect rack preset.
Here's what it sounds like now.
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ [B] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Dm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Gb] _ [Dm] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _ _
[B] _ [E] [G] I
figured I'd add one more chop eight bars in, just so the beat doesn't get too repetitive.
Here's the chop that I came up with.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ [B] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ [Dm] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Cm] I laid down a snare.
I made this hat pattern. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] I added a perk. _ _ _
I made this 808 pattern.
_ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I made this kick pattern. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Here's what the drums sound like all together.
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ All right, now it's time [D] to write some lyrics.
Freddie Dredd's lyrics focus on one, violence, [Gbm] two, [A] drugs, three, guns.
My vocal mixing here will be the same as always, with a few exceptions on the main [D] vocal bus.
First off, I'm using Little Alter Boy to widen my vocals.
Then I'm using the shape [A] slider on Super VHS as a bit crusher.
And lastly, I'm cutting the highs of my vocals with an EQ.
I'll be [N] uploading the beat we made today to my [A] second channel,
and my BeatStars [Gbm] page as well, if you [D] want to use it.
And just a [A] disclaimer, I'm not attempting to do an outright impression of Freddie Dredd.
I'm just attempting to recreate a rough approximation of his style by incorporating common [Gbm] musical elements and lyrical themes that are found within his music.
With all of that out of the way, let's see what we've come up with.
[G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _

_ _ [Cm] _ I'm all alone, [Bm] I'm all alone, I'ma take the stand, don't you [Eb] let it go.
[E] I've been sippin' all this fuzz and I can finally [Eb] get to [D] buzzin', all you bitches [F] keep on [G] runnin', boy, your girl don't keep it runnin'.
