SouthSide.

About

Southside built his name on one of the most recognisable sounds in trap: gritty, thunderous beats with hard 808 kicks, fast hi hats and menacing orchestral synths. The Atlanta producer joined Gucci Mane's 1017 camp after Waka Flocka Flame found him, and in 2010 he co founded the 808 Mafia production team with Lex Luger. His first major credit was "Fuck the Club Up" on Waka Flocka's Flockaveli, and he co produced a track on Kanye West and Jay Z's Watch the Throne the following year. He is especially tied to Future, whose mixtape 56 Nights he produced nine tracks of, reportedly making all the beats in a single night. He also had a hand in Young Thug's "Danny Glover", Travis Scott's "Nightcrawler" and albums by Drake, 21 Savage and Metro Boomin. As a lead artist he teamed up with G Herbo for Swervo, which reached number 15 on the Billboard 200.
