2. DJ Mustard
Dijon Isaiah McFarlane (born June 5,
1990), professionally known as DJ
Mustard, is an American record producer,
songwriter and DJ from Los Angeles,
California. He is perhaps best known for
being the official DJ of Compton-bred
rapper YG, as well as for producing a
string of hit singles since his entrance into
mainstream music in 2011. Mustard's
production style has been described as an
up-tempo, club oriented, catchy yet
rudimentary melodic hip hop style. This
style has snowballed into the
contemporary production style of West
Coast hip hop during the early 2010s,
which he calls "ratchet music".

October 2013 titled “19 & Boomin” – a fitting name,
seeing the guests who appeared on the project. At this
point in his career, Metro Boomin has collaborated with
several notable artists including doing several tracks
with Future, as well as Gucci Mane, OJ da Juiceman,
Ace Hood, Young Thug, Curren$y, Young Scooter, DJ
