In SZN 7 Episode 22 of No Label The Podcast, Danté sits down with producer HOWLR at Studio 3Fifty3 for a conversation about building a career behind the boards, adapting to a new city, and the mindset behind producing records that connect.Originally from Syracuse, New York, HOWLR reflects on the music culture that shaped him, the media landscape in Syracuse, and what ultimately led him to relocate to Buffalo. He shares how moving cities opened new creative opportunities and helped expand his network within Western New York's growing hip-hop scene.The conversation explores his collaborative approach to production, working alongside other producers to create records rather than viewing them as competition. Danté and HOWLR also discuss his work with artists including Fetty Wap, YISTOL, Xanman, and other emerging talent, breaking down the importance of chemistry, trust, and finding the right sound for each artist.As always, the conversation takes a few unexpected turns, including a deep dive into pyramid conspiracy theories, ancient civilizations, and some of the more thought-provoking topics that inspire creative minds outside of music.From producing hit records to navigating new environments and chasing bigger opportunities, this episode offers an inside look at the journey of a producer quietly making his mark behind the scenes.
