Dibiase
Donell McGary, known professionally as Dibiase, is an American alternative hip hop producer from Watts, Los Angeles, California.Career
Dibiase released his debut album, Machines Hate Me, on Alpha Pup Records in 2010. Pitchfork Media gave it 5.8 out of 10, while Resident Advisor gave it 4 out of 5. Before doing music, he made a living as a graphic artist. Unlike most hip-hop producers who use the Akai MPC and SP-1200, he primarily utilizes the SP-303 and SP-404 installments, for they provide a gritty lo-fi sound.Discography
