  • It’s been a minute since T-Minus was “making beats” but the elusive producer recently popped up on Drake’s More Life album with co-production on “Sacrifices” and solo credits on “Blem.” The two have worked together in the past on a slew of hits like “The Motto,” “HYFR,” “Make Me Proud,” “Replacement Girl,” and DJ Khaled’s “I’m On One.”

      @@renesupersonic I didn't say it wasn't? Just thought you thinking making "beats" is a joke. Yeah making a 4 bar-loop beat with a lame sample is boring but just like any genre there are things of great or shitty quality, including rock and country

    Glad to see T-Minus. That "poppin bottles" by TI is still ridiculous! Props

    He doesnt put anything on the master? Looks like its redlining like crazy. Weird, but overall hes a dope producer.
