In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, hip-hop producer Mustard reflected on the viral success of Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us” and his own career in the music industry. The track, which features a festive but savage takedown of Drake, became an instant hit, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and amassing over 1 billion streams.
Mustard, known for his work with West Coast rappers and R&B artists, released his fourth solo album “Faith of a Mustard Seed” last month. The album showcases a more personal side of the producer, incorporating samples and a variety of guest artists. Mustard’s focus on family and childhood memories is evident throughout the project.
Despite the success of “Not Like Us” and his own album, Mustard remains humble and appreciative of the opportunities in his career. He admires Kendrick Lamar’s genius and unconventional approach to music, appreciating the rapper’s ability to disappear from the public eye. Mustard also spoke on his playful banter with Drake’s fans on social media, acknowledging the rapper’s dedicated following.
As Grammy season approaches, “Not Like Us” is expected to receive nominations for record and song of the year, solidifying Mustard’s status as a key player in the music industry. With his unique sound and collaborative spirit, Mustard continues to push the boundaries of hip-hop and R&B, cementing his legacy as a producer with unparalleled talent and vision.
