Description
Behind every great rapper stands an even greater producer, or at the very least a beatmaker who can match lyrical genius with rhythmic mastery. On this episode, we salute the masterminds behind some of rap’s biggest stars and hottest beats. We’ll hear from super producer Mike Dean, Kanye's right-hand man and frequent Travis Scott collaborator who's one of the architects of the '90s Houston rap sound. Coming out of Atlanta, *the* place for fresh hip-hop right now, is the wunderkind Zaytoven, a producer for Gucci Mane, Migos, Future and more; Playboi Carti, the queen of trap and the woman cooking beats for Lil Uzi Vert and more of the city’s heavyweights; and Sonny Digital, who’s produced the biggest records from Future, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Drake, 50 Cent and it goes on. From Cali, its Kenny Beats, the man behind hits from Rico Nasty, 03 Greedo, Key!, Freddie Gibbs and more.
