Top 10
HITMAKERS
IN
FLORIDA
By DJ Nasty
Florida is home to plenty of vets when it comes to music; it’s also
the birthplace for a lot of up-and-coming talent as well. We asked
DJ Nasty for his list of who’s who in the Sunshine State and his
personal favorite songs from those people. He gave us some insight
on the hottest rappers and producers in the state, according to a
professional.
Trick Daddy - “I’m So Hood”
1. Need I say more The opening line to that record is amazing.
Everybody wanna mu’fuckin’ know why Trick Daddy is the king of
Florida! [DJ Khaled’s] ‘I’m So Hood’ is the biggest record in the
world.
The Runners – “Bet That” – Trick Daddy, “Hustlin” – Rick
2. Ross, “All the Above” – Beanie Sigel feat. R. Kelly
I got to go with the home team. They’re the biggest producers in the
game right now. They’ve got too many records to name. “Hustlin’” is
still the biggest record in the club. “All the Above” is a smash! They
changed the game in down South Hip Hop.
Rick Ross – “Speedin” feat. R. Kelly
3. Rick Ross is the future! His record “Speedin” featuring R. Kelly
is amazing. It’s a big record. It’s gonna take Rick Ross to that next
level.
DJ Khaled – “We Takin Over”
4. Khaled is the hardest working man in show business and “We
Takin’ Over” is a great record.
Plies – “I Am the Club”
5. Plies is the realest nigga I ever met!
Pitbull – “That’s Nasty”
6. Pitbull is one of the top 10 because he’s versatile. “That’s
Nasty” was the first record me and him ever recorded together. It
was two Cubans doing it big.
Cool & Dre – “Brown Paper Bag”
7. That record was an inspiration. When I heard that record it
made me want to make music. It made me want to kill the clubs. It’s
an inspirational record.
Brisco – “What You Want”
8. That record is killing street clubs out in Dade county! Of
course it’s produced by DJ Nasty of the Nasty Beatmakers.
Flo-Rida – “Get Low” featuring T-Pain
9. This is the #1 most requested record in the club right now. All
the girls want to hear the “Apple Bottom Song.” That’s what they call
it. They don’t even know it’s called “Get Low.”
DJ Nasty/Nasty Beatmakers – “I’m Me” – Lil Wayne
10. Last but not least, of course, you can’t mention Florida
without mentioning DJ Nasty and the Nasty Beatmakers. Me and
brother did “I’m Me” for Lil Wayne. It’s on The Carter III album. I’ve
never heard Wayne spit like this in my life. He shut it down!
