5 Slept-On Bangladesh Songs Before ‘A Milli’
Every year, a new producer comes along and becomes hip-hop’s “it” beatmaker. Last year it was Danja. Before that it was The Runners. And this year, it looks like it’s going to be Shondrae “Bangladesh” Crawford, who produced Lil Wayne’s freestyle mega-anthem “A Milli” and Busta’s quirky new banger “I Got Bass.”
But unlike most fresh-faced “it” producers before him, Bangladesh has some serious history in the game. He’s already produced huge smashes like Ludacris’s “What’s Your Fantasy” and Kelis’s “Bossy,” both of which blew up big but failed to establish him as a marquee name. But after his huge breakthrough with Weezy, now is a good time to get familiar with his back catalogue. After the jump, listen to 5 bangin’ Bangladesh productions that you probably missed.
Eightball & MJG “Don’t Make”
from Living Legends (2004)
Missy Elliott “Click Clack”
from The Cookbook (2005)
Ludacris “Ho”

Polow was hot for real but danja did game’s put you on the game, basically every Timbaland song that blew up since his “come back”, and the best songs off T.I. vs. T.I.P.:Hurt, Respect my hustle, and Tell Em I said That.
