Hey, are you currently rocking to Tekno’s Pana, do you go down low when Reekado Banks’ Standard is slammed at the club? These dope beats are not cooked by the industry’s notorious hit music makers, no not at all. There are fresh and talented music producers that can craft very berserk beats that will certainly get you nodding your head until you lose you cool and burst into dancing. Oya let’s meet the next rated badass music producers.

Krizbeatz the drummer boy

Big credit goes to this talented young music producer Krizbeatz, for Tekno’s instant mid tempo hit Pana. The swag about the beats is that it falls in the mid-range, yet very infectious. The kicks, clap and bass line all came correct on this production. A slow sweet rhythmic vibe is embedded in Tekno’s frantic lyrics to match.  Krizbeatz has assisted Tekno’s maintain his already superb form in churning a good number of hits. He also holds production credit for Ruggedman and reconciled friend 9ice new tune Religion. Trust me when I say the beat go well.  

DJ Altims

DJ Altims is a music producer signed to Mavin Records. BurssBrein, as fondly called, came in focus for producing Headies 2015 Next Rated winner and label mate Reekado Banks’ Oluwa Ni. Oluwa Ni another mid tempo hit song was greeted with positive reviews and heavy radio rotation. The music chemistry between the two artistes will be the reason the duo went in again to create Standard. I’m sure you are currently bumping and grinding to this club banger. More “gbedu wey dey burst brain” should be expected from him as Reekado Banks’ debut album drops in a bit.  It is safe to say DJ Altims is one of 2016 next rated badass music producers.
