COPTIC — Music Producer | Building the Black Star Line

Sometimes the journey behind the music is bigger than the music itself.
In this episode of TIMELESS with Teddy, Grammy-winning producer Coptic — born Eric Kwabena Matlock — joins the conversation during the lockdown period for a deep and reflective IG Live session.
Born in Ghana and raised between Accra and the mountains of Akuapem Hills, Coptic moved to the United States at the age of 13, beginning a journey that would eventually place him among some of the biggest names in global hip-hop.
From childhood memories of growing up in Ghana to producing records for icons like Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Ice Cube, and Jermaine Dupri, Coptic reflects on the defining moments that shaped his career.
He also shares remarkable industry stories — including turning down the opportunity to sell a beat to The Notorious B.I.G. before his rise to superstardom, and playing beats for Jay-Z that ultimately didn’t make the cut.
Throughout the conversation, Coptic pays homage to mentors Harve Pierre and D-Dot Angelettie, who played pivotal roles in shaping his path in the music industry.
His latest project, Black Star Line, continues that journey — bridging African heritage and global sound.
A powerful conversation about culture, perseverance and the unpredictable roads that lead to legacy.
