Abstract
In a 2011 lecture sponsored by the Red Bull Music Academy (RBMA), professional audio engineer Gimel "Young Guru" Keaton described his work on the track "Rock Co.Kane Flow," which was the closing track on De La Soul's (2004) album The Grind Date. As an example of audio-engineering work, Young Guru's description of the track illustrates the rhetorical complexities an audio engineer may face when trying to contribute both technically and artistically to an album.
