5 Amazing Producers!
Over the last year I have met and come across many talented producers on YouTube and Soundcloud. My second album was the very first time I worked with any producers and I'm happy I decided to stop wanting to do everything myself because there are so many good music producers out there. Today, I simply want to go over five of my favorite producers. These artists are not listed in any specific order and there are many other producers I love as well, but these are all people that I believe deserve credit for their work. And for this, I decided to leave out really big names like Ronny J and John Cunningham, just to give some more attention to the smaller creators.
2 songs of mine that Riddiman has produced are My Fault and Does It Get Better? and I certainly want to use more of his beats. What I love about Riddiman is the way he manages to make simplistic instrumentals while still making them really feel special. Riddiman uses many different types of sounds and has boom bap beats as well as lofi hip hop. On YouTube, Prod. Riddiman has 108,000 subscribers and 12.2 million views total.
No joke, I wish I could stress just how much I love CapsCtrl! All of the instrumentals made by this producer have intense and prodomonint sounds that stand out beautifly, and I cannot even explain how much I love the production of these beats. As of right now, I don't have any songs released that were produced by CapsCtrl, but there will be multiple coming out soon. The production, the guitars, the drums and the mix of everything that CapsCtrl releases sound insane and I love it to death. Right now, CapsCtrl has 53,900 subscribers on YouTube as well as 7.8 million total views.
There isn't a single other producer on YouTube that is more consistent than H3 Music. There is a new instrumental uploaded to the H3 Music YouTube channel every single day, and they manage to keep up with current trends in rap and keep the quality consistent. H3 Music is also the producer behind my track BoJack Horseman! It's also just insane how much versatility is on this producer's channel. There are sad boom bap beats, hard trap beats and everything beyond and in the middle! This legend known as H3 Music has 46,300 subscribers on YouTube and 11.6 million total views.
It was obviously a given that I was going to put JJ on this list. JJ and I have a full EP together and it has some of my favorite songs I've ever released! I found JJ on Soundcloud in late 2019 and there was something really special to me about his beats. There's something about JJ's instrumentals that just show his passion. On Soundcloud it is clear that JJ has based quite a few of his beats on some of his favorite artists, which I'm sure has helped him feel more love towards his craft. JJ is one of the many underground producers that are at the current state where they have a somewhat amateurish sound, and that is in no way a bad thing in my eyes. John Cunningham is the main producer behind most of XXXTENTACION's projects, and what his fanbase loves so much about them is the raw sound because it feels more real. So, the fact that JJ has a similar feel to his music is actually really positive to me. At this time, JJ has 31 followers on Soundcloud and 38 subscribers on YouTube. I'm very fortunate to have worked with him this much.
Part of me feels like this isn't fair because of the success he has already achieved, but I feel the need to include LexNour on this list. Lexnour has produced songs for Soulja Boy, Meriah, Riff Raff and Dax. There is a video on Instagram of Lexnour making this sick instrumental with great 808 and guitar in no time at all! This guy is beyond talented and makes really, really awesome beats. Lexnour made the beat that I used in my song Phoenix and I'd love to use more of his instrumentals in the future. Lexnour Beats has 10,200 subscribers on YouTube and 1.9 million views.
There are so many great producers all over the internet, and this was just five of my favorites. Everyone I mentioned is super talented and has a lot of potential to do amazing things in the future. Check them out if you want to hear some of their work!
