25 Producers You Should Know (PT.2)
Producers build the foundation and create the sounds we hear behind our favorite music artists, commercials, films, tv shows and much more. It’s endless amounts of beats you can make but your creativity is what will make you different from your peers. Here on OnThaRizeMag we started a platform for producers called “Producer Kredits” that highlight the hard work and achievements that seem to go unnoticed. We pay attention to the artists but producers definitely do not get the credit they deserve. A lot of the times you find producers who are also artists and vice versa. The whole point is producers are important and they deserve their flowers also.
We are back with Part 2 of 25 Producers You Should Know. Get familiar with many talented producers below. *No Particular Order*
