Song:Ballin'
Album:Perfect Ten
Dijon "Mustard" McFarlane is a successful producer who occasionally records as a solo artist. His 2019 single Ballin' was a top 20 pop hit. He was born June 5, 1990 in Los Angeles. His uncle got him into DJing. He started working with rapper Keenon "YG" Jackson in 2010. The success of their mixtapes attracted guys like Micheal Ray "Tyga" Stevenson and Tyrone "Ty Dolla Sign" Griffin. McFarlane produced Stevenson's 2011 single Rack City. It was a top ten pop hit. After producing hits for 2 Chainz and Young Jeezy, he started releasing his own mixtapes which led to a record deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation label. He released two albums on Roc Nation in 2014 and 2016. There were no hits from these albums. But he continued to produce hits for Rihanna, Lil Dicky and especially Ella Mai's 2018 top five pop hit Boo'd Up. McFarlane started his own label with Interscope distribution and released the 2019 album Perfect Ten. The single Ballin' featuring rapper Rodrick "Roddy Ricch" Moore reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. McFarlane wrote and produced the song with Moore and frequent collaborators Shah Rukh Zaman Khan and Justus West. The album has plenty of guest rappers and singers and it is available as a digital download. He also produced Moore's new hit single High Fashion. I would expect McFarlane's solo career to be sporadic as he's a very busy producer. And now that he has his own label he will want to develop new artists. Here's the video for Ballin' by Mustard featuring Roddy Ricch.
