How DJ Mustard Made Kendrick Lamar "NOT LIKE US" on the MPC
DJ Mustard is a multi-platinum L.A. native hip hop producer with artist credits such as (Y.G., Young Jeezy, Ty Dolla Sign, 2 chainz, Roddy Rich, & finally Kendrick Lamar just to name a few). "Not Like Us" is his first one number one record. Which is known as the k*ll shot in the Kendrick Lamar vs Drake beef. He made this beat on the MPC Live 2 (not fruity loops or any other DAW). Where he sampled "I Believe to my Heart" by jazz legend Monk Higgins
