The Heatmakerz is a
hip-hop production duo, started by
Rsonist (Gregory Green) originally from
Kingston, Jamaica, now living in New York. The duo, consisting of
Rsonist (Gregory Green) and
Thrilla (Sean Thomas), rose to fame after providing beats to various releases of
The Diplomats. The bulk of albums like
Diplomatic Immunity and
Juelz Santana's debut
From Me to U were produced by The Heatmakerz. Their production style is based upon hard equalized snares and kicks, strong bass lines, strong hi-hats, snares and often sped-up soul samples. To this day, the Heatmakerz still use the same style of production. Timothy Hodge made an appearance on Beat Bangerz alongside
Rsonist.
