Met this guy at my job the other day. He was really humble and talked to me for a solid 10 minutes about music and how dope it is to work with certain artists.

"only 12 sounds" the beat for New Freezer only had 5 and im like tf these producers smoking
@Anthony-fm8mz 6 years ago

Ronnyj under appreciated. He basically made half of these SoundCloud rappers famous. Definitely top 5 producer rn. top 5 probably is an extend but top 10 seems fair.
