Florida-reared producer John Lam has become a go-to beatmaker for melodic rappers. Raised on Southern rap and gospel music, Lam’s work is full of rich harmonies that accent the voices of every artist he works with. He infuses Lil Durk’s hardened drill style with lush melodies and Rod Wave’s soulful crooning with complex compositions heavy on piano chords, guitar lines, and clean drum sounds.
