that fool isn't shining, he's making basic ass beats. if he's shining, there are 4,000,000 producers in the US currently shining
Not that you may care about numbers, but in which case numbers normally don't lie, Let me enlighten you to the fact that DJ MUSTARD has 8, yes 8 songs on the top 100 Billboard charts. Just signed a deal with ROCKNATION, so in my opinion, the man does has some shine.
It's not another producer out right now whether it's rap, rock, country, pop, alternative, edm, who has 8 singles charting on Billboard.
I agree that his beats are simple, lightly Bay influenced, but in no way, shape, or form, will I discredit his accomplishments, because he figured out a winning formula to get him where he's at.
