10 Greatest Hip Hop Producers Of All Time

4. Just Blaze

As one of the core young producers signed to legendary hip hop record label Rocafella records, Just Blaze has had his hand in a plethora of hits from pretty much the beginning of his career. Known as one of the most creative individuals in hip hop, Blaze can take pretty much any sound and craft it into a catchy beat.

Since 1999, when the New Jersey native received his first production credit on Mase's debut album Harlem World, Blaze has refused to stick with just one sound, showing that's he not just a beatmaker but a producer in every sense of the word. Whatever type of record you can think of, he's produced it.

From T.I and Rihanna's pop hit Live Your Life and Jay Z's Girls, Girls Girl to hardcore hip hop classics like Jay Electronica's Exhibit C and Breathe by Fabolous, Blaze has the type of catalogue most producers can only dream of €“ and he's still only 37-years-old.

Nowadays, you can find him touring the world on the EDM circuit as a DJ, but he still manages to find time to craft huge hits that has hip hop fans nodding their head in appreciation.
