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.
What songs use the Murda Beatz tag?
- Nice For What — Drake (2018)
- MotorSport — Migos, Nicki Minaj & Cardi B (2017)
- Butterfly Effect — Travis Scott (2017)
How to make a tag like Murda Beatz's (without copying it)
You can't use “Murda on the beat so it's not nice” on your own beats: it is Murda Beatz'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 8 words long, longer than most, so it usually needs its own bar of intro.
- It uses the oldest formula in tags: the name plus “on the track” or “on the beat”. Swap in your own name and the line works for anyone.
- It is voiced by Baka Not Nice, not by Murda Beatz. Most famous tags work like this: a friend, an artist or a clip said the line once and the producer kept it. If you have a collaborator with a distinctive voice, ask them; otherwise pick an AI voice pad that matches the energy.
- 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.
