Boi-1da
(aka Matthew Samuels, 23) was born in Jamaica. He moved to Toronto at 5, and
started toying around with beats on virtual studio software at 16. He was
introduced to fellow up-and coming artist Drake in 2006 and began making beats
for him. Word spread about him and that led to more success working with artist
like Eminem and Dr. Dre. The highlight of his success came when one of his
songs with Drake got picked up for a Sprite commercial. He briefly appeared in
the commercial with a robotized Drake. The track caught the attention of Eminem
and he reached out to Drake to do a collaboration song using that beat. The
song was entitled Forever, and it
went on to win an award for Boi-1da. I like the style of Boi-1da’s loud, hard
hitting kicks and snares in his productions. His beats will bust your speakers if
you not careful. Check out Forever above
featuring Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem.
