1. Tay Keith
“Tay Keith, f*** these n****s up!”Said by Clarksville, Tennessee rapper Lil Juice
Tay Keith died in June 2026 at the age of 29. His tag remains one of the most recognised sounds in rap.
Tay Keith told Billboard the tag 'basically came from my boy Lil Juice': he tweeted that he needed a tag, Lil Juice sent him several options, and they settled on one. Before that, early beats such as BlocBoy JB's 'Goons Coming' (2014) carried a plainer 'Tay Keith produced this' tag. The tag blew up with BlocBoy JB and Drake's 'Look Alive' in 2018, and Rolling Stone called it 'the catchiest producer tag in hip-hop'.
2. Metro Boomin
“Metro Boomin want some more”Said by Young Thug, from his song "Some More"
Metro's first tag in 2013-2014 was 'This beat is so, so Metro'. 'Metro Boomin want some more' came from Young Thug's song 'Some More' and went viral in early 2016; Metro told Vice it was 'just some shit Thug made up in his head'. Future's line 'If Young Metro don't trust you, I'm gon' shoot you' first appeared on Uncle Murda's Metro-produced 'Right Now' (2015). It became famous on Drake and Future's 'Jumpman' and Kanye West's 'Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1'.
3. Pharrell
The four-count intro
Pharrell's signature is not a spoken tag but a four-count that opens many of his songs, going back to his Neptunes productions. He told Vulture it was not planned ('I never meant to') and that he didn't notice until someone pointed it out; Dazed reports he then embraced it as his trademark.
4. F1lthy
“Wake up, F1lthy”
F1lthy (Richard Ortiz) is a Philadelphia producer and co-founder of the Working on Dying collective, known for rage and Playboi Carti's Whole Lotta Red. The Cornell Daily Sun lists 'Wake up filthy' as his tag on Ken Carson's 'Freestyle 2'. The phrase is also the title of a 2025 Playboi Carti and Travis Scott song he co-produced. No source we found explains who says it or where it started.
5. Pi'erre Bourne
“Yo Pi'erre, you wanna come out here?”Said by Jamie Foxx, sampled from The Jamie Foxx Show
The tag is a clip from The Jamie Foxx Show (season 1, episode 4, 1996). In the scene Foxx waits on a blind diner and calls out to a fake French chef named Pierre. Revolt notes Bourne pairs it with a door-creak sound. He has said it reminds listeners who made the song. It took off with Playboi Carti's 'Magnolia' in 2017.
6. Ronny J
“Oh my God, Ronny!”Said by A woman's voice (not named in any source we found)
The tag is so tied to him that he named his mixtape OMGRONNY after it, Complex reported in 2018. Complex says it is rumoured to come from an episode of Jersey Shore, but that has not been confirmed. Ronny J came up producing for Denzel Curry, XXXTentacion and Ski Mask the Slump God in the Florida SoundCloud scene.
7. Wheezy
“Wheezy outta here!”Said by Future
The tag is voiced by Wheezy's frequent collaborator Future. Revolt reports that Lil Wayne once thought the tag was a tribute to him. No source we found says when it was first recorded. Wheezy, from Vicksburg, Mississippi, and based in Atlanta, built his name on Young Thug's Barter 6 and Gunna's Drip or Drown projects.
8. Mike WiLL Made-It
“Mike WiLL Made-It”Said by A woman's voice Mike sampled
His name came from Gucci Mane, who shouted him out while freestyling over his beat on 'Star Status' (2008). After that mixtape, fans started calling him 'Mike Will Made-It', and he adopted it. The tag that opens most of his beats is a woman saying the name. Complex reports a friend's first try 'sounded like a McDonald's commercial'.
9. Maybach Music
“Maybach Music”Said by Australian model Jessica Gomes
Not technically a producer tag but Rick Ross's label drop. In 2008 Gomes was in a New York studio with friends of Rick Ross and Jay-Z. Complex says she and a friend were asked to say lines because of their Australian accents. She told XXL it was spontaneous and she didn't know it would become an intro. Ross publicly confirmed her as the voice years later.
10. Honorable C.N.O.T.E.
“The Honorable C.N.O.T.E.”Said by A female friend of the producer
He told The Fader that a female friend recorded the tag. Her first take was breathy and drawn-out ('Mmmmmm... the Honorable C.N.O.T.E.'), so he cut the start and kept 'The Honorable' delivery. He says it is an old tag, probably first used on the follow-up single to DG Yola's Atlanta hit 'I Ain't Gon Let Up'.
11. DJ Khaled
“DJ Khaled!”Said by DJ Khaled himself
Khaled told Variety that as a club DJ he used his own name in his talk-ins so people would remember who made the mix. He also wanted to prove that a DJ could release a successful album under his own name. 'We the best' became the name of his label, and Complex lists 'Another one' as his best-known tag.
12. Mustard
“Mustard on the beat, h*!”Said by YG, from the end of their song "I'm Good"
The tag is a clip of YG from the end of 'I'm Good' (2011), one of the pair's early collaborations. Mustard said on Power 106 in 2014 that he had thought about dropping it. Instead it became one of rap's best-known tags, right up to Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us'.
13. Southside
“Southside on the track, yeah!”
Southside's main tag is a high, pitched-up voice saying his name. Complex adds that it comes with a Kill Bill-style siren. He also uses the team tag '808 Mafia', the production crew he formed with Lex Luger in 2010. More recently he has used a sample of the Ironside TV theme.
14. Harry Fraud
“La música de Harry Fraud”Said by Singer Fanesha Fabre
The Spanish-language tag is voiced by singer Fanesha Fabre, a friend of Fraud's. Revolt describes her as a Dominican-descended family friend and says the tag was not planned. It opens much of his hazy, sample-heavy New York production.
15. Murda Beatz
“Murda on the beat, so it's not nice!”Said by Baka Not Nice
Revolt says the line began as a hook on Baka Not Nice's song 'AKA', which explains the 'not nice' pun on Baka's name. Complex credits Baka as the voice. The tag spread worldwide through Murda's work with Drake, Migos and Travis Scott.
16. Don Cannon
“Cannon!”Said by Sportscaster Pat Summerall, sampled from an early Madden NFL game
Revolt reports the tag is a sample of Pat Summerall saying quarterback Rich Gannon's last name in an early Madden NFL game. Complex ties the tag to Cannon's mixtape-hosting era, when it was all over DatPiff tapes. He later executive-produced Lil Uzi Vert's Luv Is Rage projects.
17. Dem Jointz
“Incoming!”
Dem Jointz, a Compton producer, is known for an 'Incoming!' tag at the start of many of his beats, from Kanye West's 'Nah Nah Nah' to NCT 127's 'Sticker'. A Notes on K-pop interview notes many listeners have heard it without realising. His credits run from Dr. Dre's Compton to Kanye West to many K-pop hits. No source we found explains whose voice it is.
18. ATL Jacob
“ATL Jacob, ATL Jacob!”Said by Atlanta rapper Young Scooter
The repeated-name tag is voiced by Atlanta rapper Young Scooter. ATL Jacob rose through Future's camp, producing on The WIZRD (2019). His biggest hits came in 2021-22 with Kodak Black's 'Super Gremlin' and Future's 'Wait for U'. No source we found explains how the tag was recorded.
19. Lex Luger
The synth build-up
Wikipedia lists Lex Luger's signature as a synth crescendo, an electronic build-up that runs through his beats, rather than a spoken phrase. His heavy 808s and orchestral synths on Waka Flocka Flame's Flockaveli and Rick Ross's 'B.M.F.' shaped 2010s trap. He co-founded 808 Mafia with Southside in 2010.
20. Conductor Williams
“Conductor, we have a problem.”
Splice says the tag is sampled from a real train incident, and Revolt calls it a random subway clip that became a meme. The train theme fits the Kansas City producer's name. He is best known for boom-bap work with Westside Gunn and Griselda and for Drake's '8am in Charlotte'.
21. Working on Dying
“I'm working on dying”
Working on Dying is a production collective founded around F1lthy, Oogie Mane and others, credited with shaping the 'tread' and rage sound. The Cornell Daily Sun lists 'I'm working on dying' as the crew's tag, heard on The Khan and Lil Tracy's 'Vices'. The name comes from a member who, after his father's death, thought 'I'm really working on dying right now'. F1lthy explains it as being alive and 'working on dying'.
22. Jaydes
“You have no heart”
Jaydes is a Florida rapper-producer credited with helping popularise pluggnb. Pitchfork, quoted on Wikipedia, called 'you have no heart' a 'spammed producer tag' on 'Horror' from his self-produced 2023 album Ghetto Cupid. He has also released a short track called 'you have no heart (sound effect)'. Its origin isn't documented.
23. JPEGMAFIA
“You think you know me”Said by Wrestler Edge's WWE entrance theme (sampled)
TV Tropes lists 'You think you know me' as JPEGMAFIA's producer tag, sampled from wrestler Edge's WWE entrance theme. WhoSampled lists his 2018 song 'Real Nega' as sampling 'You Think You Know Me (Edge)' by WWE and Jim Johnston. Only these fan-edited sources back it, so confidence is low.
