Let’s be real on this Daringer point, he’s a B maybe C list producer.

he ain’t as good as Alc, or Havoc which are squarely Griselda lane. When you broaden the lens and add Premolar, Pete Rock, still not even close. And we haven’t even touched in cats like Madlib, Diamond D, Large Pro, etc.


So it’s not Daringer hate, it’s a reality check. Conway and Benny starting to get Top Tier Emcee (Jay, Royce, Pusha, Em) nods so they deserve the same in the production lane.

The bolded is a fair point. Though I'm no longer interested in a fully produced by Daringer project by Conway or Benny as of this point, I still think he brings something to the table. And he did produce probably the hardest track on Plugs I Met, and he's still improving.

He definitely ain't c-list breh. B is definitely fair, but C seems a bit harsh to me.

For better or worse he's a heavy part of their sound. There's also something to be said for loyalty. Daringer was a Griselda member before Benny was. That goes a long ways, and unless he was total trash, you should keep a guy like that in your circle.

You don't need the same producers to be in the same lane.

Then Jay-z would not use Kanye, Just Blaze and such dudes. Royce produced his own latest album. Em produced a lot of his own shyt as well and had those Bass Brothers who no one never heard of again. Having a unique and fresh sound >>>>

My dad said Cormega had no business being on the Sonny track. Should have put Benny on it. Stick to what works.
