TWEET Possessing a forward-moving sound, Georgia native Turbohas worked on three No. 1 albums this year so far: YSLs Slime Language 2 Lil Baby and Lil Durks The Voice of the Heroesand The Kid Larois F*ck Love. On the cusp of going diamond with Drip Too Hard by Lil Baby and Gunna, Turbo 27, shares his perspective as one of the games most coveted producers. How did the beat for Please off Lil Baby and Lil Durks project The Voice of the Heroes come about? I knew they was working on an album. Maybe for like, two or three days, I pulled up to Babys studio. I just kind of know him at this point. So, like, he will either not say nothing at all or hell rap a little bit. When the Please beat came up, him and Dugg was just in there going back and forth, rapping a little bit, but they didnt really put nothing down. In the mixing process, I was just kicking it with Matt , listening to what they was doing. And they played Please for me. They was just saying how this was they favorite song. And this was like, the most different-sounding on the project. Whats your favorite part about working so heavily with Gunna? It dont feel like work. Shit, it just feels like were just two brothers, sitting in the studio and we just happen to be talented. We feed off of each other and just talk about a lot of life shit and goals. So, its really effortless. How does it feel to be a part of three No. 1 albums this year, so far? Man, I dont expect nothing less. Thats how I came in, bro. Everything is going platinum like we didnt know gold. Its definitely a blessing and Im definitely grateful to be able to work with the artists that I work with. But honestly, if it doesnt do that, then Im not happy. Were just gonna have to sit inside the studio and keep trying. Whats the story behind your producer tag? I actually had a buddy that was from my same neighborhood. And one day, he came over Shad house and they was doing a song and he kept fucking up. And he kept saying, Run it back, Turbo when I was recording at the time. He was literally telling me to start the punch over, so he can do the line that he was trying to do over and get it perfected. He just said it so many times, I grabbed one of the takes. It was real authentic and real genuine, nothing really planned.
