The legendary Atlanta producer talks working with superstar rappers, linking up with Wizkid, and a stash of country songs he just might unleash on the world

There are a handful of hip-hop producers you can argue have served as architects for the sound of modern rap. Turbo, sometimes known as Turbo the Great, would undoubtedly be on the Mount Rushmore of present-day rap hitmakers. With production credits on some of this generation’s biggest hits — Gunna‘s “Drip Too Hard” and Travis Scott’s “Yosemite” to name a couple — Turbo, real name Chandler A. Great, is among the most prolific producers to come out of Atlanta. He’s furnished the hip-hop Mecca with an endless bag of hits featuring his distinct, melodic take on trap that by now feels like a signature for a whole city.
