Crazy how this guy has produced or helped produce some of our favorite songs from the 2010s:
Kendrick's "Money Trees", "Loyalty", "Lust"
Drake's "Worst Behavior", "U With Me?"
Big Sean's "I Don't Fuck with You"
ScHoolBoy Q's "Hell of a Night", "Neva Change"
Travis Scott's "90210", "Mamacita", "Hell of a Night"
Wale's "The God Smile", "The Middle Finger"
Lupe's "Adoration of the Magi", "Madonna"
He's a certified hit-maker.
You forgot no role modelz
bro forgetting all the j cole songs from this time, these are clearly your favorites not everyone’s
@@vaskopanchev he didnt make that
I'm from Morocco and I discovered some of this songs and love them how crazy that the producer is one Man!
Can't name them all but can't forget Wale's 'The Helium Ballon'.

Real listeners and producers do. Check the 2009-2012 beats, those were the most complex. "Right above it" or "the show goes on" or "super bass" instrumental
When he played the sample I just heard “turn my headphones down a lil bit”
Crazy seeing so many people just now knowing who Dj Dahi is..
not everyone is on the music scene

Dahi also produced Money Trees and Self Care. He's criminally overlooked

The fact that he even did the vocals himself just makes him a king
I hate when the producers don't show the whole project like it's some secret. like come on bro the songs already out
Some producers use plug-ins and presets that makes thier sound a lil unique, so it's like their secret source🤷♂️
@@sayles6996 yeah like ozone 9 lmaoooo
@@sayles6996also some producers might have cracked there plugins and don’t want to get caught on RUclips like that
A modern day legend on genius, LETS GOOOOO
Man music production is so fascinating. I love how much he goes into it, pure passion dude.
People don’t give Dahi enough credit
I`ve been constantly listening to this song for two years and still haven`t got rid of it
This track sounds so authentic- love when you hear something and know it’ll last, a lot of fast music out there❤️
I've been waiting for this for 2 years
