Music to Survive Monday: 10 Essential Monte Booker Produced Tracks

Zero Fatigue and Soulection producer Monte Booker has quickly been making a name for himself dropping hits with artists from Smino to Ravyn Lenae. Along with teaming up with fellow Zero Fatigue members, Monte has also been dropping some of the best remixes to classic songs such as “Rock Your Body” by JT and “Bad and Boujee” by Migos. Monte’s sound is so unique that it is immediately known when he is behind the beat on each song without the need for a producer tag. His ability to mix hip-hop, soul, and percussion-heavy beats has paved his way to becoming not only one of the top producers in Chicago, also nationwide. Look out for Monte’s moves the rest of the year following his incremental part in Smino’s critically acclaimed  debut album. In the meantime, put these 10 songs into your rotation today and Monday will be over before you know it.

May w/Ravyn Lenae

Ravyn Lenae’s voice takes over this song at the beginning and then Monte takes care of the rest on the 2nd half of the track providing one of the most ridiculous beats out there.

Raindrop, Droptop

Monte Booker really took one of the best Migos songs of all time and elevated it even higher. Crazy.

Bem-Ester (Feat. Sango)

Can we get a Sango x Monte Booker Album? Because after this hit and seeing them on tour together, theres else I want more from music.

Kolors (Feat. Smino)

One of my top 5 favorite Smino songs and if the track isn’t fire enough, seeing it live turns this song into a 20/10.

Unknown – Ravyn Lenae

One of the best joints off of Ravyn Lenae’s new EP, with the help of Monte on this track, this song turns into a pure masterpiece.

Gina w/Jay2

Another Zero Fatigue collab that goes crazy. I’m very excited to hear more Jay2 x Monte Booker collabs in the future, as their sounds fit perfectly together.

Mick, Goldlink, & Monte Booker? What else do you need to convince you that this isn’t 100% fire.
