In our SlotBeats Rhymes and Life feature we are revealing the soundtracks that provide a backdrop for the gaming industry.
In this edition, we spoke to David Natroshvili, Founder and CEO at SPRIBE, who expressed his love for every ‘masterclass’ Kendrick Lamar album.
SlotBeats: What was your first-ever gig, and what was it like?
It was a local rock concert back in Tbilisi—small venue, big energy. I remember the crowd knew every word, and the connection between the band and the fans was electric. That night made me realise how powerful music can be in bringing people together.
SB: What’s the best performance you have ever seen live, and why was it so good?
Coldplay in Paris. The production, visuals, and atmosphere were next-level, but what made it unforgettable was how they made a stadium full of people feel like an intimate moment. You walked out feeling like you were part of something bigger.
SB: Is there an artist who, in your eyes, can do no wrong? If so, why?
For me, it’s Kendrick Lamar. Every album is a masterclass in storytelling, rhythm, and social commentary. He’s an artist who evolves but never compromises his message or craft.
SB: What is your most cherished album, and what makes it so special to you?
Radiohead’s In Rainbows. It’s one of those rare albums that hits you differently depending on your mood. It’s introspective, layered, and timeless. Plus, the way they released it was groundbreaking—true innovators.
SB: What song always makes it to your gym playlist? What activities do you usually do in the gym while listening to it?
“Lose Yourself” by Eminem is a staple. That opening beat instantly switches me into focus mode. It’s perfect for cardio or circuit training—anything where you need to dig deep and stay locked in. It’s a reminder to give 100%, whether in the gym or business.
SB: Which artist or song helps take your mind off work? Why have you chosen this artist and genre?
Bonobo or Tycho—instrumental electronic with ambient vibes. It clears the mental clutter without demanding attention. Perfect for disconnecting, especially after a fast-paced day full of decisions and deadlines.
SB: If you could go on a night out with any musician, who would it be, and where would you take them?
I’d take Anderson .Paak for a night out in Lisbon—start with a seafood dinner, end up in a hidden jazz bar. He’s got that contagious vibe, and I feel like the conversations (and laughs) would be unforgettable.
