Wheezy has been given production advice from experienced producers such as Metro Boomin, Southside, Sonny Digital and Lex Luger whom he has gotten the chance to collaborate with.[1]
Production style and influences[edit]
The Fader wrote that Wheezy's production "tends toward the spacious and spare", and gave him credit for "much of the opaque, pristine production of 2015's Barter 6, and several highlights from the Slime Season series".[1] He uses FL Studio, along with the M-Audio Oxygen 88 keyboard. Glass often utilizes samples, especially vintage sounds. He says he "blends" his snares. He frequently uses the VST Purity, which he has used since his early days as a producer. Glass' influences include Drumma Boy, Shawty Redd, DJ Toomp, and WondaGurl.[1] His productions can be recognized by producer tag "Wheezy outta here".
