BadBadNotGood production discography
The following is the production discography of Canadian instrumental group and production team BADBADNOTGOOD. Formed in 2010, the group has been producing music for other artist since 2012 and are known for their jazz-influenced compositions in hip hop, R&B, and electronic music. Their discography is made more prolific by the fact that their studio albums are regularly sampled by other producers.
Made up of musicians Chester Hansen, Alexander Sowinski, Leland Whitty, and formerly Matthew Tavares, BADBADNOTGOOD produce hip hop, soul, electronic, and alternative music as a group and individually. They commonly co-produce and write with Canadian producers Frank Dukes and KAYTRANADA, and work in an informal Toronto-based collective of songwriters that includes artists Charlotte Day Wilson, River Tiber, and Daniel Caesar, among others. While they most commonly compose in collaboration with other producers, BADBADNOTGOOD is credited as the sole producer for songs by artists including Earl Sweatshirt, Mick Jenkins, and Kali Uchis ("After the Storm").
For their work co-producing the track "LUST." with DJ Dahi and Sounwave for Kendrick Lamar's album Damn., the group was awarded the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album in 2017.
