Donell McGary (born 1977[1]), known professionally as Dibiase, is an American alternative hip hop producer from Watts, Los Angeles, California.[2] He is also a member of Project Blowed hip-hop shop.

Career

Dibiase released his debut album, Machines Hate Me, on Alpha Pup Records in 2010.[3] Pitchfork Media gave it 5.8 out of 10,[4] while Resident Advisor gave it 4 out of 5.[5] Before doing music, he made a living as a graphic artist.[6] 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.[7][8]
