Mike Will Vs. DJ Mustard

DJ Mustard and Mike Will offered contrasting visions of hip-hop and pop in the early '10s. Mustard's thumping cuts bring uptempo, high-energy West Coast swing, as on Tinashe's demure club ballad "2 On". Mike Will's slower, booming style uses frequency filters to create a brooding, texturally nuanced Atlanta strip-club soundtrack, which he would popularise on a bigger stage with the likes of Rihanna and Miley Cyrus.
