Boi-1da: Born in Jamaica and raised in Canada, Boi-1da is the other major producer associated with crafting Drake’s signature style. He has produced for artists and groups such as Clipse, The Diplomats, Kanye West, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, G-Unit, Kardinal Offishall, K-OS, Das Racist, Lecrae, Nas, Talib Kweli, Saukrates and most recently on Mobb Deep’s latest album. He started using the FL Studio beat-making program in his parent’s basement. A few years later, he won three consecutive Battle of the Beatmakers championships because of which he was given a spot in the Battle of the Beatmakers judging panel. He climbed very quickly to rightfully claim his elite status of production in and outside of T.O. He has proven his worth since the days of “Best I Ever Had” from Drake’s So Far Gone EP. Songwriter/producer Boi-1da is for real and belongs amongst the best doing it in the city and in Hip-Hop in general.
