History

edit

Brandon Rackley, professionally known as B, met James Bernard Rosser Jr., professionally known as Nard, while they were both attending at Omnithech, majoring in Music and Engineering.[6] Upon completing college, Nard landed a job as a tracking engineer for Atlanta-based rapper T.I.'s label, Grand Hustle Records.[6] In 2007, Nard & B received their first placement on a major label studio album. The song, titled "That's Right", features vocals from T.I. and was included on Grand Hustle artist Big Kuntry King's debut effort, My Turn to Eat. The success of the record earned them the attention of Grand Hustle president Jason Geter, who signed them as in-house producers.[6] Also in 2007, Nard & B officially remixed T.I.'s hit single "Big Shit Poppin' (Do It)", providing new production while Grand Hustle rappers Mac Boney, Alfamega, JR Get Money and Big Kuntry King, all added new verses. In 2009, Nard & B co-produced Brooklyn-based rapper Maino's hit single "All the Above", alongside high-profile record producer Just Blaze. Nard & B also went on to contribute production on Puff Daddy's 2015 project MMM (Money Making Mitch). In August 2015, Nard & B released a collaborative mixtape, titled Trench Muzik, alongside then-Grand Hustle artist Spodee.[7][8] On September 13, 2015, Spodee teamed up with Nard & B to release Trench Muzik 2.[9] On November 22, 2015, the third installment of Trench Muzik was released.[10]

On February 9, 2016, Atlanta rapper Skooly, formerly of Rich Kidz, teamed up with Nard & B to release Trench Gotti.[11][12] On April 21, 2016, Nard & B teamed up with Jose Guapo to release Extravagant Trench Shit.[13] On July 19, 2016, B released a song titled "Out Perform You", under the pseudonym ¡B!. The song, produced by Nard & B and XL Eagle, is the first to drop from B's debut project, "that will feature exclusive records from a variety of artists".[12] The project, which is tentatively scheduled to drop at the end of the year, will include production from Nard & B with co-production from TrenchWerk producer, XL Eagle.[12] On October 11, 2016, Nard & B released a collaborative mixtape with Jamaican rapper and Hustle Gang affiliate[14] Zuse. The mixtape, titled Trench Zuse, enlist some of Nard & B fellow producers such as DJ Spinz, Bobby Kritical, Will A Fool, and DJ Plugg. Southern hip hop producer XL Eagle, a member of the TrenchWerk team, produces on almost every track.[15] In 2017, Migos released "T-Shirt", produced by Nard & B, from their second album Culture.
