NITTI

Playmaker of Atlanta

More than just a beatmaker, producer NITTI is a true Playmaker.

Each song he crafts – from Yung Joc’s “Going Down” to 8Ball’s “Stop Playing Games” – he has his hands all over it, with NITTI playing all his own music and even holding down mixing duties. He may be self-taught in the world of production, but NITTI got his musical education early in Decatur, Georgia. His mother was Program Director for a local gospel station for 15 years and it was she who encouraged NITTI to pursue music. He attended a performing arts high school and became active in church life and playing drums for all of the gospel choir events.

But even as he was playing gospel in church, he had his ear to the streets and couldn’t resist the call of hip-hop. Production work for local acts led to his first break when his remix of Ghetto Mafia’s “In Decatur” quickly became a big regional hit. After that initial success, he purchased a ton of equipment and decided to get serious about his craft.

It was after two years of learning his craft that he was ready and in 2002, NITTI hit the ground running and the rapper 8Ball was looking for a new deal and a few good beats. A friend introduced the two, “I gave him a CD with 30 beats on it and the rest is history”. 8Ball ended up buying eight of the tracks for his solo album Almost Famous, including the hit single “Stop Playing Games.” The album went gold, putting NITTI on the map nationally.

Since then, NITTI has produced the title song for the “Biker Boyz” movie and soundtrack and his music soon caught the ear of Atlanta’s own Jermaine Dupri, who signed NITTI to his own production deal with So So Def in 2004. He immediately scored artists for the So So Def Compilation and records on the Boyz N Da Hood album to produce the lead single “Dem Boyz”.

His first artist signing to his production company, Playmaker came this year with the artist Young Capone. NITTI crafted tracks for Young Capone and brought him to Jermaine Dupri, who also liked what he heard and quickly signed him. The three are currently working on Young Capone’s debut album. NITTI has hopes that Young Capone will blow up like his other most recent discovery, Yung Joc. NITTI produced Yung Joc’s number 1 hit single, “Going Down,” which resulted in a Bad Boy label deal for the new rapper. . That hit record has led to requests pouring in and NITTI is currently working with artists’; Bow Wow, Ludacris, Young Jeezy, TI, Nelly, G-Unit, Rick Ross and Gucci Mane will soon get one of his signature beats.

NITTI next went on the win a BET HIP HOP Award and nominated for a Grammy. NITTI, the multi-instrumentalist knows how to construct songs that make the fans get loose. An owner of 5 guitars, 10 keyboards and a set of drums, all of which he plays with proficiency. His gospel training has given him a unique take on hip-hop beats. That do-it-yourself spirit is something NITTI believes in strongly and is what helps make his sound so unique. With several hits already under his belt, and artists all over the south and beyond knocking down his door, it seems like he’s well on his way to achieving that goal, making NITTI a Playmaker to watch.
