    This one's a little harder.

    I think #1 is Metro for me for sure, no order for the rest

    Metro
    London
    Mustard
    Kanye
    Pharrell
    Mike Will
    40
    Pierre
    Kenny Beats

    Gonna give the last slot to Daytrip. They've been around a year or two but I've loved everything they've done and where they're taking rap production.

    HM to Mike Dean. He's more on the engineering side of things but his production credits are wild throughout the 2010s (and his whole career).

    For sure Kanye, Mustard & London

    As for the others, I don't pay that much attention to who produced what, but one beat from Mike Will really stuck w me:



    Mike Will definitely nr 4 for me

    Can’t come up with a better top 10 than that one. Might replace Daytrip with Zaytoven but otherwise that’s exactly my list.

    Oh s--- I completely spaced on Zaytoven, he should be on there over daytrip for sure. But I still love what Daytrip's doing, they're gonna be ones to watch in 2020.

    Phhheww this is tough...Don't know if i could keep it to 10.

    Metro is undoubtedly #1

    then it could be any mix of

    Kanye
    Pierre
    Lex Lugar
    Zaytoven
    London
    Mike Will
    Wheezy
    40
    Boi 1da
    TM88 & Southside
    Cardo
    Mustard
    Clams Casino
    Harry Fraud
    Tay Keith
    Kenny Beats
    DJ Dahi
    Ronny J
    Honorable CNOTE

    And then you had Muggs who (even though he is dusty af) has been on fire the last 2 or 3 years. No ID came back with a vengeance. Alchemist is always around.

    Then theres the whole new generation, ATLJacob, Chasethemoney, Turbo, Jestonmade. No shortage of talent.

    @Ordinary Joel got the best list. Can't believe I forgot Nard & B. Weird, I don't think I've heard a single Murda Beatz beat this year, he was massive last year.

    had no idea these dudes were still alive tbh.
