According to Billboard, DJ Mustard’s sound is easily recognizable, complex and even iconic. A long proponent of minimalism in music, the less-is-more philosophy, Mustard’s sound has been described as “a mass of contradictions: studious but tossed-off, clinical but rowdy, brutally repetitive and endlessly effective.”

By all accounts, including his own, 2015 was not a particularly stellar year for him despite the fact that so many others have benefitted greatly from his talent – Major Lazer, Jamie xx, Fetty Wap, Drake and even Selena Gomez.

It’s completely appropriate that Mustard has no plans to lay down and die. He’s determined to get back on top with new music and new collaborations.

While we’re waiting for him to assert his creativity once again, have a listen to “Whole Lotta Love” featuring Travis Scott.
