Decap is the man behind the drums behind your favorite song
I don't think I'm going to hurt anyone's feelings by pointing out that Decap doesn't have the name recognition of Kendrick Lamar, Olivia Rodrigo, or Charli XCX.

Nicholas Piantedosi, better known as Decap, is a record producer who has made significant contributions to the music industry behind the scenes. While he may not have the same level of name recognition as artists like Kendrick Lamar or Olivia Rodrigo, his influence is evident in the tracks produced by numerous high-profile musicians, including Freddie Gibbs, Bad Bunny, Mac Miller, BTS, and even Ludwig Göransson's score for Oppenheimer.
