👑 WHO IS DEREK "MixedByAli"?
Derek “MixedByAli” Ali is one of hip-hop’s most influential engineers, best known for shaping the sound of Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). As Kendrick Lamar’s go-to engineer, he’s worked on modern classics like good kid, m.A.A.d city, To Pimp a Butterfly, and DAMN., helping define an era of West Coast hip-hop.
Beyond TDE, Ali is building EngineEars, a platform designed to give audio engineers more control over their careers, and recently partnered with Symphony.OS to bring even more independence to engineers in the industry. He also made headlines for purchasing the historic Death Row studio, further cementing his legacy in hip-hop.
