The Heatmakerz

The Heatmakerz is the production brand for American record producer and writer Rsonist (Gregory Green). The name originally referred to a duo, consisting of Rsonist and Thrilla, before they separated in 2007. The Heatmakerz emerged in the New York hip-hop scene in the early 2000s, and went on to produce albums that have accumulated a combined total of over 25 million worldwide sales. "Names like DJ Premier, Dr. Dre, and The Neptunes branded a sound that helped shape generations of rap music. Another name you can add to that list is The Heatmakerz," said The Hip-Hop Museum.

The Heatmakerz are widely known for the Diplomats' hits "Dipset Anthem" and "I'm Ready", amongst other tracks, and have produced for artists including Lil Wayne, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Ludacris, Fat Joe, Ghostface Killah, Jeezy, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, J. Cole, and Joey Badass.

Rsonist has described the Heatmakerz' sound as combining hip-hop with rock and roll, and as being "aggressive soul music".
