The Scoop on Snxxz3 – Houston’s Very Own

Houston-based trap producer Snxxz3 (Snoozy) makes his return to the site, this time as one of the winners of our Isolation Compilation, and also bringing a new track to sprinkle on our ears. Real name Jeremy Cruz, Snxxz3 has been on a tear during the dreaded year of 2020, pumping out tracks like “Hibernatin,” an energetic trap bump with out-of-the-box ideas building off slamming 808s. Today, we took some of Snxxz3‘s time and asked him a couple questions regarding his past and present, his goals for the future, and more!

“I’ve been Producing since I was 15, I’m 29 now so it’s been well over a decade.”

What made you want to start producing/performing?

“It all started in my early high school days. I had a really close friend at the time that loved to rap. He just needed a producer to give him an original sound and that’s where I came in. I’ve always had a passion for Hip Hop music and a love for the culture. It wasn’t until I heard Skrillex years later that made my whole perspective of a producer shift. He inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and to create new sounds. Truly a Legend that guy!”

How would you describe your sound and how did you develop it?

“I’ve been told I make Hood Bops with the sassiest bounciest sounds lol. I’m really open format though, you never know what to expect from me. One-day I’ll make some house music; next I’m making Rnb/Hiphop and then one-day I’ll be on my experimental Trap Shieee. I don’t like to be confined to just one genre! I developed by reverse engineering my favorite tracks! I would study the arrangement; instrumentation, the mix and I would attempt to remake that track! I still do that to this day, it helps me grow as an Artist/Producer.”

Who are your top 5 producers? Who would you most want to collab with?

“This is tough affff! Honestly, I don’t have an order just ones that come off the top! So, BOOM! Skrillex, Noah 40 Shebib, Timbaland, Yojas and anyone from Partica. I know I cheated, there’s just too many dope producers outchea to only name 5. lol At the moment though, Hiphop wise, Drake has been on my list for yearsss. I have buku, ideas for him that I know he would snap on plus I got that Houston/Trap culture flowing through me! As far as the EDM scene, Skrillex of course! Yojas im still coming for you too!”
