Mustard Will Not Only Be On The Beat, As He Will Make His Rapping Debut On His Upcoming Album’

June 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mustard has had the game on lock for over a decade. Though the West Coast super-producer rose to prominence in 2012 as the beatmaker for Tyga’s “Rack City,” it was in 2014 that he launched his 10 Summers label imprint, vowing to keep delivering heat for at least the following decade of summers.

Since then, he’s produced for the likes of Tinashe, Rihanna, Ella Mai, Roddy Ricch, and most recently, Kendrick Lamar. When you hear that “Mustard on the beat, ho” tag at the beginning of a track, you know you’re in for a hit. But on his upcoming fourth album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed, Mustard will not only be on the beat. In an interview on The Cruz Show, Mustard revealed that he will be making his rap debut on Faith Of A Mustard Seed.

When asked about the songs he looks forward to people hearing on the album, Mustard said he feels that way about all of the songs on the album.

“I’m definitely a little nervous for my song, that I’m rapping,” said Mustard. “But I feel like anytime you’re nervous, that’s a good thing. You’re nervous the first day of school, like, ‘I wonder if they’re gonna like my fit.’”

Elsewhere in the interview, he revealed that he’s played the track for YG, Vince Staples, and Jay-Z, who gave the song their seal of approval.

Mustard And Travis Scott’s Upbeat ‘Parking Lot’ Gets Things Rolling For ‘Faith Of A Mustard Seed’

June 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Apparently, Travis Scott’s a big Boogie Down Productions fan. The Houston rapper name-checks the Bronx-born DJ in the hook of his new collaboration with West Coast producer Mustard, “Parking Lot.” The track is the lead single from Mustard’s upcoming album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed, which he announced is due on July 26.

It’s a great time for him to release a new project, as his buzz was recently revitalized by the release of Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss record, “Not Like Us.” Not only did the song become an instant fan favorite, shooting to the top of the Hot 100 chart, but it’s also taken on a life of its own. K Dot performed the song five times in a row at his recent Ken & Friends concert at the Forum, where Mustard was also one of the friends in question. During his set, which was livestreamed to Amazon Music viewers worldwide, Mustard reminded fans just how many hits he’s got in his bag, including collaborations with Blxst (“Overrated,” “Chosen”), Ty Dolla Sign (“Paranoid”), Dom Kennedy (“My Type Of Party,” “When I Come Around”), Steve Lacy (“Static,” “Bad Habit”), and Roddy Ricch (“Ballin’”).

Mustard Revealed The Release Date For His New Album, ‘Faith Of A Mustard Seed’

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Just days after announcing his new album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed with an impassioned trailer, West Coast hitmaker Mustard has announced the album’s release date. The “Ballin’” producer revealed that his fourth studio album is dropping on July 26, five years after the release of his last album, Perfect Ten. It also arrives just weeks after the producer achieved his first-ever(!) No. 1 hit, “Not Like Us,” with Kendrick Lamar — making July the perfect time to strike while the iron is hot.

Despite only recently enjoying that achievement, Mustard’s last album, Perfect Ten, did bring him another kind of success, receiving a nomination for Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 2020 Grammy Awards — the first time he was nominated as lead artist. It was also featured artist Roddy Ricch’s first nomination (he won for a different song that year, having appeared on the Nipsey Hussle song “Racks In The Middle”). “Ballin’” was one of three singles from Perfect Ten, along with “100 Bands” and “Pure Water.”

Since the release of Perfect Ten, Mustard has kept busy, producing beats for Coi Leray, Vince Staples, Roddy Ricch, and Blxst, among others. With Faith Of A Mustard Seed on the way, it looks like Mustard will once again take over the season he named his label after.

Mustard Announces Fourth Studio Album ‘Faith of a Mustard Seed’

June 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Grammy-winning producer and artist Mustard is making his highly anticipated return with his fourth studio album, Faith of a Mustard Seed, set to drop this summer. This marks a significant comeback for Mustard, who last released Perfect 10 five years ago, an album that featured major hits like “Pure Water” and “Ballin.” The announcement coincides with the 10th anniversary of his label, 10 Summers Records, adding to the celebratory moment.

Mustard’s recent achievements include his first No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” which garnered over 96 million streams in a week, setting a record for the most streamed song in that period.

In a one-minute and twenty-second teaser video release on Mustard’s birthday, fans are given a powerful preview of his upcoming album. The video opens with an iconic image of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and is set over a sermon with the line, “But Jesus said if you had faith the size of a mustard seed,” reflecting the album’s theme of faith and perseverance. The video offers intimate glimpses into Mustard’s life, featuring moments with his children, his fitness journey, dedicated studio sessions, and collaborations with artists like Travis Scott, Charlie Wilson, and Future.

The teaser also includes a nostalgic collage of childhood photos, birthday memories, and early DJ gigs, painting a comprehensive picture of Mustard’s journey. The video concludes with bold black and yellow text revealing the album’s name, Faith of a Mustard Seed. Fans can look forward to an inspiring and deeply personal project that encapsulates Mustard’s growth and dedication over the years.

Mustard Has The ‘Faith Of A Mustard Seed’ On His Upcoming Album, Which He Announced With A Beatific Trailer

June 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a recent Instagram Live stream, West Coast producer/multi-instrumentalist Terrace Martin expressed excitement for the new music coming from the region (particularly his native Los Angeles area), specifically citing Long Beach hitmaker Mustard’s upcoming album.

Mustard himself announced that album’s title and release window with a fittingly beatific trailer. It’s called Faith Of A Mustard Seed, and as befits any Mustard-related project, it’s slated for a summer 2024 release date. The title comes from the Christian Bible; the book of Matthew, chapter 17, verse 20 and 21, advises, “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to the mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move and nothing will be impossible for you.”

The verse specifically refers to faith in the Christian God, but could easily be interpreted to mean radical self-belief, as well. Mustard’s faith in himself has served him well over the past decade, resulting in hit records for seemingly half the rap business and a Grammy nomination alongside Roddy Ricch for “Ballin’.” It’s still paying off, too; despite being over a decade into his career, Mustard recently received his first-ever Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 thanks to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake-dissing “Not Like Us.”
