The Unsung Hero: Mike Dean

Mike Dean is the best music producer you've never heard about. From his work with Kanye West, to Travis Scott, to Jay-Z, he's worked with the who's who of hip-hop without getting a whole lot of press.

He's helped craft historic records such as "Gold Digger" by Kanye, N*ggas In Paris by Kanye and Jay-Z, and Lemonade by Beyonce, either as a mixing engineer, a songwriter, or a producer.

The man can do it all. He stays at the forefront of experimentation, with his heavy use of analog Moog synthesizers, and always finds a way to stay current by reinventing his sound.

Dean has been one of the first producer to introduce several live instruments in his rap compositions, which also makes him a pioneer in that sense.
