The tag is “Murda on the beat so it's not nice”. You can hear it on “Nice For What” by Drake (2018).

What song was the Murda Beatz tag first heard on?

It was made famous by AKA (Baka Not Nice) in 2017. Earlier uses may exist; this is the record that made the tag recognisable.

Who voiced the Murda Beatz tag — and where did it come from?

The line comes from the hook of “AKA”, a track Murda produced for Toronto rapper Baka Not Nice — the “not nice” is literally his name. As Murda has told it, Drake heard the record and insisted he stamp the line on every beat he sent out.

Because the tag blew up on Migos-era records, it's routinely misattributed to Quavo. It isn't Quavo — the voice is Baka Not Nice, an OVO signee.

The tag turned a Canadian producer's name into a rhythmic hook of its own, riding records for Drake, Migos and Travis Scott through the late 2010s.

• Nice For What — Drake (2018)
