DJ Drama

DJ, producer, label boss, and more, Drama is one of the most important, famous, and even infamous players in the mixtape game. While riding out the 2000s and 2010s as the host of his high-profile Gangsta Grillz mixtape series, Drama co-founded the Atlantic Records sublabel Generation Now, finding chart-topping success with a new wave of rappers who included Lil Uzi Vert and Jack Harlow. Drama's streetwise working method is prolifically producing for other artists as well as releasing mixtapes of his own. Tyler, The Creator's 2021 album Call Me If You Get Lost was inspired by Drama's Gangsta Grillz series and narrated throughout by Drama himself. In 2022 alone, Drama was behind no fewer than ten projects highlighted by the Top Ten Jeezy collaboration SNOFALL. The momentum continued in 2023 with additional charting releases such as I'm Really Like That and I Showed U So, the latter a team-up with Yo Gotti.
