Producer tags are those popular intro lines music producers use to basically mark themselves on the music they make. You know them when you hear them. They latch on to memory so easily, so much so that you subconsciously begin to sing them as part of the song. Many Gen Z-ers grew up to “it’s Don Jazzy again” and “Sarz on the beat”, but we present you 7 new-age producers you should get familiar with.
P.Priime
Tag: ‘P!’ / ‘Giddem’
He’s such an inspiration for young producers. Starting from a young age and making a name for himself is a big feat. P.Priime is a wizard when it comes to his beats and it is evident with the hits he has produced for Olamide, Fireboy, Oxlade, Teni and many other superb musicians in the industry.
Lekaa Beats
Tag: ‘Lekaa Beat’
You’ve probably been bopping your head to ‘Holy Ghost’ by Omah Lay without a clue on the producer. Lekaa is a superb producer who finesses his sound with so much ease. He has also worked with Central Cee, Kida Kudz, Adekunle Gold and Gabzy.
Pheelz
Tag: ‘Pheelz Mr Producer’ / ‘Rih’ / ‘Riddimakoolayor’
The debate now is not if it is ‘Riddimacoolayor’ or ‘Rhythm and Cool and Young’, its more about how Pheelz blessed our ears before focusing on singing. I mean we would always plug our ears down to speakers just to hear his music tag.
Tempoe
Tag: ‘Mad!’
Tempoe is an absolute producer genius. He’s been in the industry for quite some time, but more recently his racks have been out of this world. Personally, I feel he and Omah Lay have a sync made from heaven.
Ileri XO
Tag: Big Fish!
Ileri XO is fairly new in the industry but he has made really great songs for Abuja based artists. But he has also worked for big name artists like; Tiwa Savage, Wizkid, Adekunle Gold, Ckay and Simi.
Kukbeatz
Tag: ‘Kukuruku’
Although he has not been in the industry for that long, his collaboration with Ruger is a certified madness. Kukbeatz is a master chef in his musical kitchen, always ready to dish bangers hot.
Spax
Tag: ‘If it’s Spax then it gotta be a hit!’ // ‘Classic’
Personally, his music tag is one of my favourites because it gives a very smooth introduction to the music. Spax has been around for quite some time and he is doing great for himself. His tag is more popularly heard on “palmwine” records from artists like Oxlade, Show Dem Camp, Blaqbonez etc.
From the club to the car, from the party to the gym, these iconic producer tags have become really iconic. You should definitely keep your ears glued to your speakers to appreciate the artistry and creativity that shape the infectious rhythm of afrobeat.
