Who voiced the Take a Daytrip tag — and where did it come from?
Denzel Baptiste and David Biral met at NYU's Clive Davis Institute and started Take a Daytrip in 2014, almost as a class project. The stuttering, pitched-up “d-d-Daytrip took it to ten” became their calling card — though unusually for a tag this famous, they've never said who recorded it.
“Mo Bamba” (2017) took the drop from NYU dorm rooms to stadium chants, and Lil Nas X made it a pop fixture: “Panini”, “Montero”, and “Industry Baby” all open with a Daytrip announcement.
It's the rare tag that works at pop scale — a two-second hype meter that tells you the record is about to max out, which is exactly what “took it to ten” promises.
What songs use the Take a Daytrip tag?
- Mo Bamba — Sheck Wes (2017)
- Panini — Lil Nas X (2019)
- Industry Baby — Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow (2021)
How to make a tag like Take a Daytrip's (without copying it)
You can't use “Daytrip took it to ten” on your own beats: it is Take a Daytrip's signature, and putting another producer's name or their original tag audio on your work misleads the artists and listeners who hear it. What you can borrow is the structure. Here is how this one is built.
- It is 5 words long, short enough to land before the first downbeat.
- The producer's name is inside the line, so the tag doubles as a credit. That is the one part you should always copy: put your own name in yours.
- Nobody has put the voice on record, and the tag works anyway: listeners know the line, not the speaker. Whoever says yours matters less than saying it the same way on every beat. A friend, an AI voice pad or your own recording are all fine.
- For Trap beats, the TRAP preset (pitched down two semitones, reverb, stutter) is the closest starting point.
Write your own line with your name in it, then open the producer tag generator, pick a voice or record yourself, and start from the TRAP style preset. For more phrase starters see 50 producer tag ideas.
