Fans were treated to another Instagram beat battle courtesy of Timbaland and Swizz Beatz on Wednesday (April 1) — this time around, between multi-platinum producer Scott Storch and Southern production god Mannie Fresh. However, there was one major upgrade with this battle: official scorekeeping.
Rather than have the results ambiguous for fans to decide amongst themselves, Swizz enlisted producer and media personality DDotOmen to break down the battle — ultimately crowning a winner.
“Swizz and I have a history, he’s my big homie and OG,” DDot tells HipHopDX about how he came to take up the role. “He saw my commentary during the Sean Garrett vs. The Dream battle … he knows my enthusiasm and how deep into the culture I am.
He notes that it was his detailed break down of the Ne-Yo vs. Johntá Austin battle that ultimately pushed Swizz to bring him on board.
“I think the fact that I am a producer and songwriter with credits from the likes of A$AP Rocky, D Smoke, Odd Future, etc. but also simultaneously on the media side makes me balanced and able to score accurately,” he explains.
