    Me & Dad on the Docks
    "Me & Dad on the Docks" is the second single from River Nelson’s upcoming EP, Mental Notes, produced by his longtime collaborator AltoBeats.

    This heartfelt track is a vivid and touching recollection of River’s childhood fishing trips with his father. Through descriptive storytelling, he not only brings these beachside memories to life, but also weaves in the invaluable life lessons his dad imparted to him during their time on the sea-battered docks.

    “Deep talks over deep waters about life’s path / We might laugh as time pass a striped bass might splash / We might catch but when not, my pops would say don’t stop / Or get distraught if nothing’s caught we’ll just come back to the docks,” raps River, painting a nostalgic picture.

    Reflecting on Me & Dad on the Docks, River shares, "I wanted to create a song that honors the incredible life-lessons my father taught me as a kid—without making it overly sentimental, but rather celebratory. My goal was to capture the place, the time, and the essence of those moments in a way that feels real and immersive.”"Me & Dad on the Docks" is the second single from River Nelson’s upcoming EP, Mental Notes, produced by his longtime collaborator AltoBeats.

  • AltoBeats is a music producer and beat maker hailing from Pacoima, Los Angeles, California. He discovered his passion for beat making in the early 2000s while attending the Hazze Hip Hop Culture Dream Center, a non-profit organization located in Pacoima. During one of the center's classes, an audio engineer who was working on audio effects for Call Of Duty, volunteered to teach students the art of sampling and beat making. AltoBeats attended the class and became instantly hooked, learning the basics of drum sequencing, sampling, and music studio setup. The center was a unique hub of creativity and positivity, attracting people from all walks of life, including bboys, bgirls, DJs, artists, and fitness trainers.

    Today, AltoBeats continues to refine his craft by studying the works of legendary music producers like J Dilla, Madlib, 9th Wonder, RZA, Apollo Brown, and Quincy Jones. He blends different genres, including Boom Bap, Neo-Soul, Lo-fi, Jazz, and Electronic, to create his unique sound. AltoBeats' instrumentals are a combination of sample-based loops and original compositions that employ a range of instruments like pianos, strings, synths, and classic drum breaks.

    AltoBeats has collaborated with various underground artists such as River Nelson, Blu (from Blu & Exile), Rae Patria, Madseas, and Cosmik Knowledge. You can also find his music on Muscle Company's youtube channel and on episodes of Poder Podcast, hosted by Sergio Lagunas.
