The Beat Bullies are an American Atlanta-based Southern hip hop production duo composed of record producers Nsilo "Teeth Malloy" Reddick and Nicholas "Nikki Broadway" Sherwood.[1]
They were affiliated with Big Boi, producing songs for several Dungeon Family-related projects, such as Slimm Calhoun's The Skinny, Killer Mike's Monster and Pl3dge, and the Purple Ribbon All-Stars' single "Kryptonite (I'm on It)" from Got Purp? Vol. 2, as well as songs for fellow Southern rapper Gangsta Boo, Midwestern rapper Nelly, and latin rock band Santana.
The duo linked up with Houston-based rapper Chamillionaire since producing the majority of his debut solo album The Sound of Revenge, including single "Grown and Sexy". They went on to produce three songs from his sophomore album Ultimate Victory and one song each for his extended plays Ammunition and Reignfall. In 2015, member Nsilo Reddick and Chamillionaire started working with Upfront Ventures.[2]
Career
Longtime friends and collaborators, Reddick and Sherwood met while students at Morehouse College in Atlanta. Reddick, originally from Savannah, Georgia, grew up as a classically trained pianist, who played tenor saxophone and drums in his middle and high school bands. Sherwood was raised in Boston with an art background, and started using turntables in high school. At the time they met, they were individually producing for various Atlanta University Center artists, and subsequently began working together as the Beat Bullies.
