Since making his breakthrough on Tyga’s hit song “Rack City” in 2011, Mustard, who is well-known for his unique production style, has had a significant influence on the sound of West Coast hip hop.
Mustard is known as a pioneer of the “ratchet music” style because of his upbeat, club-oriented beats and simple yet catchy melodies in his productions. His catchphrase, “Mustard on the beat, ho!” is frequently heard at the start or finish of his songs and has come to represent his contagious sound.
With a history that includes three successful albums, Perfect Ten (2019), Cold Summer (2016), and several hit songs, Mustard has cemented his place as a major player in the music business. His record company, 10 Summers Records, provides a stage for up-and-coming artists. Notable artists that he has signed include Ella Mai, Kiana Ledé, and RJMrLA.
The tune “Ballin'” with Roddy Ricch, which shot to number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has come to be associated with Mustard’s explosive sound and contagious enthusiasm, is one of his greatest accomplishments as a lead artist. As Mustard keeps pushing the envelope in hip-hop production, his impact on the genre is apparent, solidifying his reputation as a real innovator in the music business.
