These are my Top 10 favorite DJ Toomp beats.
Aldrin Davis, better known as DJ Toomp, is an award-winning American record producer and DJ who works in Atlanta, Georgia. He rose to fame by working with southern rapper T.I. on his first four albums, and caught his first big break in 2006 for producing T.I.'s single "What You Know", which peaked at #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100[1] and earned both Toomp and T.I. their first Grammy.[2] More recently, he contributed to production on Kanye West's Graduation, including producing the singles "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "Good Life" with West. He and hip hop veteran Bernard Parks, Jr. have launched their own record label called NZone Entertainment.[3] His production mark is the rhythmic tapping of a cymbal. An example of this is on The Game's single, "House of Pain
