Jay-Z's "Crown" which is featured on his
recent album Magna Carta Holy
Grail was produced by a
16-year-old Canadian teenager.
Born Ebony "Wondagurl" Oshunrinde, a black
girl from Ontario, Canada speaks during an interview with MTV News on how she
created the beat along with her experience of being a part of a great success. "The way I made the
beat, I was at home one day and I was looking for reggae samples for a while
and I finally found this one that was like crazy, it was Sizzla ‘Solid as a
Rock,’” Wondagurl explained
as she was inspired by Pusha T’s “Blocka,” featuring Travi$ Scott. “I took it and I cut it up
and I put it in the software FL Studio and I started building around it, just
adding 808s and more I built, I knew what I wanted.”
Wondagurl eventually sent the beat to Travi$ Scott who
is affiliated with G.O.O.D. Music, said he would add more elements to the
track. About a week later he announced that the track had made Jay-Z's new
album.
What Wondagurl did may be considered
"impossible" to some but she's a young lady with a vision and having
a beat she created on Hov's album is just the beginning.
She mentions that she would love to work with artists
such as Kanye West, Drake and Timberland.
I'm sure her phone and Twitter is blowing up! I look
forward to hearing more from her.
