Raised in Fort Erie, Ontario, 22-year-old producer Murda Beatz got his start as an in-house producer with Migos, producing 2015’s relentless “Pipe It Up,” and this year landed major collaborations with Gucci Mane (“Back on Road”), PARTYNEXTDOOR (“Like Dat”), and French Montana (“No Shopping”). Murda, whose real name is Shane Lindstrom, connected with that marquee talent over social media, but has also made an effort to meet guys like Chief Keef and Quavo in person, rather than sending beat packs over email. He’s cultivated relationships within their camps and expanded his network through old-fashioned word of mouth.
