Calvin Harris

Calvin Harris has proved that he’s capable of producing a variety of styles. However, the Scottish superstar has done little in the vein of dancehall.

Now, teaming with OVO singer PARTYNEXTDOOR, Harris has dropped a dancehall-influenced heater called “Nuh Ready Nuh Ready.” PND, who was born in Canada to a Jamaican mother, sings in patios throughout the track.

Watch Honorable C.N.O.T.E. Make a Beat by Sampling Random Records

Honorable C.N.O.T.E.

Atlanta-based hip-hop producer Honorable C.N.O.T.E. has been featured on Mass Appeal’s Rhythm Roulette series. The series challenges producers to make a beat by sampling three records that they randomly select while blindfolded.

Born in Michigan but based in Atlanta, C.N.O.T.E. is best known for producing A$AP Ferg‘s anthem “New Level” and Migos‘ new Culture II track, “Supastars.”

C.N.O.T.E. isn’t new to the game though. The Benton Harbor native has been producing since the late 2000s, having worked with artists like Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, and Rae Sremmurd.

On the episode, C.N.O.T.E. picks up three records from Good Records in New York City and flips them into a soulful heater.
