The mix on #MIL is so good and sonically appealing. Between Dro & P2J input we’ve really been given a mix reference for afrobeats

Let’s go Dro!! 👂🏽📣💪🏽💪🏽

[@langdontroy]

Dro going crazy! The mix on “Made In Lagos” was so good. Particularly “Ginger”. Essence was also really just superb in its own way. Can’t wait to work with him. Really liked his work on “W.A.A.I.T.T” as well, one of my favourite albums ever. Shout out to Pensado’s Place for this much needed interview!!!

[@akinomolaoye9044]

Had to come check who mixed Davido - No competition ft. Asake, those harmonies were just too 🔥🔥🔥, great job by Dro 👍

[@Trustytrevor]

So many gems get dropped in these shows, not even mentioning the music related biz. Thanks!

[@PTDMUZIK]

Dro is fantastic

[@Vmadethebeat]

Shout out 2 DRO!! 🔥

[@PEERSEEMANN]

Ginger with Burna Boy is a masterpiece, like the percussion, also the low end so much different from the trap 808s we all know 👍🙏

It’s crazy you mentioned Serban, i didn’t realize how huge he was when i was mentoring his son. I didn’t know i was in the room of greatness.

[@chrisrichbeats7383]

you mentored his son? doing what?

[@Kevinbellofficial]

@@chrisrichbeats7383 in DJing and overall nightlife. He’s was like 19 or 20 back then.
