TDE's production team started out with Sounwave, 4th Quarter, DJ Dave. 4th Quarter has not been there for years and DJ Dave stopped making beats until recently.Sometimes they co-produce records and Taebeast and Willie B have both put out instrumental tapes. I think two of them are working on another one together. I want to say Taebeast and DJ Dave, but will have to update that.

Sounwave: Been at TDE from the start. The oldest tenured in-house producer there. Knew Punch and was making beats.He played beats for Dude Dawg and kept coming back until he was given a shot.

Other rappers don't work with them because they don't want to work with other rappers. TDE is all in house for now. They should keep it like that for a while.

I should rephrase this, because they are all working with local California acts.I know acts that Willie B and Taebeast are working with outside of TDE. I meant established acts. Willie B is the latest to join TDE so a lot of his connects were made prior to Ab-Soul hearing his beats and playing them for everybody. Willie B already was making a name by himself and still works with a lot of cats outside of their circle. I meant well-known acts. -
Cool

Willie B said he wants to produce for Young Jeezy and Cam'ron, so I know it is not them wanting to just be in-house. Are the industry rappers sleeping on them?

most likely, also i wouldn't say they are well known -

word thanks for the heads up. wouldn't say their well known, but its good its happening this way. i would hate for TDE to blow up too fast and have them die out even faster. patience is the key, laying down a good foundation
