The track featured ATL King's Jeezy, Young Thug, and Rich Homie Quan, who artistically owned the original record. The joint-produced DJ Drama record 'Right Back' is no different. Not only does he host mixtapes for the industry's most viable names, DJ the biggest events, & break artists, but Drama brings together the game's best for hot collabos. With respect to the producers, not a year goes by in hip-hop without DJ Drama impacting the landscape. The Mekanics and SykSense created one of the most in-demand tracks of 2014. Salute to the winners on crafting audible masterpieces, and thanks for moving the culture closer to the moon and beyond the limitations of yesteryear. On the list are plenty of familiar names and producers, these are the dudes who created a beat that often transcended the song itself, tumbling into freestyles from certified stars to upcoming cats, everyone had to try their hand at it. This list was the result of much negotiation and a conscientious and healthy debate within the ranks of HotNewHipHop, but we are confident that the best are represented.
