“ Mustard on that beat, ho! ”

―Mustard's Producer Signature

Dijon Isaiah McFarlane[1] (born: June 5, 1990 (1990-06-05) [age 34]),[1] better known online as Mustard, is an American[1] record producer and DJ.[1]

History

McFarlane was born in Los Angeles, California to Jamaican parents. In a 2013 interview with The Fader magazine, he stated that his father was deported to Jamaica when he was young, but that they still keep in touch. [2]

When McFarlane was 11 years old, his uncle, Tyrei Lacy, who was both a parental figure and a DJ, let him DJ at a family party. Soon thereafter he was spinning records at parties as a student at Dorsey High. [3]

He acquired his DJ name from the condiment Dijon mustard because his first name is also Dijon. [4]

Mustard uses the music production software Reason, first using 5, 6 and currently using 6.5. [5]

DJ Mustard described his business relationship with West coast rapper YG. Since YG's second mixtape The Real 4Fingaz, he has produced on all of his mixtapes. [6] DJ Mustard has produced singles by YG such as "Bitches Ain't Shit" featuring rappers Tyga and Nipsey Hussle, and "You Broke" also featuring Nipsey Hussle. During 2010, DJ Mustard released an unofficial compilation album with various artists through the label Thump Records that was called Let's Jerk named after the street dance called jerking in Los Angeles. [7]

During late 2011, DJ Mustard produced Tyga's third single "Rack City" from his second album Careless World: Rise of the Last King. The song was released in December 2011, and peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, number 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number 2 on the Hot Rap Songs chart. [8] It was also certified 2× platinum by the RIAA. [9] According to Mustard, the beat for the song was originally for YG. YG told Mustard that Tyga needed a beat, so he sent the beat to Tyga. [10]

On May 4, 2024, he would contribute to the production of the Kendrick Lamar diss track, "Not Like Us," released as part of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. [11]
