Da Tiger’s Den Presents Producer Nitti Beat (@NITTIBEATZ) With Chocolatetiger (@Chocolatetiger1)
Nitti began studying music while attending church with his family in south Georgia. His dad played the bass guitar. He was raised by his mother in Decatur, GA. His mother was a gospel radio station program director in Atlanta, GA from the early 90’s to the mid 2000’s. Nitti would always sneak into the post production studios at the radio stations while at work with his mother. Nitti was raised with his only sister by his mother in Decatur. He began doing production for local rap acts in Atlanta, GA. He would then meet rap veteran 8ball (of 8Ball & MJG). Upon meeting 8ball, Nitti began to work on production for the veteran that would later catch the attention of other major artists. Once Nitti established a name for himself, well known music mogul Jermaine Dupri approached Nitti with a production deal. Nitti also secured a deal with Warner Bros. Records in Los Angeles, CA Most of Nitti’s productions typically start with some form of him saying ”It’s a Nitti beat!” and slightly more monologue before the song lyrics start. Nitti’s sound is primarily sample-free, relying heavily on synthesized sounds. He has worked primarily with southern hip hop artists throughout his career and is credited with helping popularize ”snap music” production with Yung Joc’s ”It’s Goin’ Down”. In 2010, Nitti produced the single ”Bring It Back” for the rap duo 8Ball & MJG. He was also nominated for a Grammy.
