In late 2019 a new wave hit the hip hop industry, with the person causing the wave being left uncelebrated. That person is a producer from Sweden called Makalo, whose musical melodies have made it into platinum albums and songs that have streamed millions on Spotify and Youtube.<\/span><\/p>\n

One example where Makalo was left totally uncredited is with Young Thug in his song called “Millions”. Makalo was both angry and pleased:<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, it’s Young Thug, my entire body was shaking when I heard that he chose my melody loop, says Makalo and continues, but it is a major credit in my resume because everyone knows my loop made the song, so I guess it evens it out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Makalo and his manager Flvwlessflow, along with their team (OutofTune Entertainment) have filed complaints and it is an ongoing process yet to be resolved says Makalo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rappers who have benefited from the works of Makalo are Young Thug, DDG, Pop Smoke, Nav, and international sensations such as Gilli, Killa Fonic, and many others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Makalo has recently got more recognition but still feels that he and producers like him are left uncelebrated:<\/span><\/p>\n

We are the ones who dictate, we are the ones who make superstars, yet we (the producers) are the ones who are left behind the curtains and treated like “nobodies”. I know of so many talents who get paid but get little recognition, just like myself. It needs to change!<\/span><\/p>\n
