Dijon Isaiah McFarlane (born June 5, 1990), professionally known as
DJ Mustard, is an American record producer, songwriter and DJ from
Los Angeles, California. He is perhaps best known for being the official DJ of
Compton-bred rapper
YG, as well as for
producing a string of
hit singles since his entrance into mainstream music in 2011. Mustard's production style has been described as an up-tempo, club oriented, catchy yet rudimentary melodic hip hop style. This style has snowballed into the contemporary production style of
West Coast hip hop during the early 2010s, which he calls "ratchet music". Almost all of his productions begin or end with the tag "Mustard on the beat!", a voice
sample of
YG, who says it at the end of "I'm Good", one of their early collaborations, as well as claps and repetition of the word "hey". Mustard's debut album,
10 Summers, was released on August 26, 2014.
