Jacob Denzal Canady (born December 10, 1998), known professionally as ATL Jacob, is an American hip hop record producer. He rose to mainstream recognition in 2022 following his string of successful productions for fellow Atlanta native Future, having formerly served as an in-house producer for his record label, Freebandz. His production style has been described as "dark" or "mellow".[5][6]
Born and raised in Atlanta, Canady began his music career at age 14.[7] At the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, he earned a nomination for Best Rap Song for his work on Future's "Wait for U".[8] The song topped the Billboard Hot 100, while his other production, "Super Gremlin" by Florida rapper Kodak Black, peaked at number three on the chart that same year.[9] The following year, he produced the single "Last Time I Saw You" for Nicki Minaj[10] and released his debut single as a recording artist, "MF Problem".[11]
He was nominated as Producer of the Year for the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards, and won XXL magazine's 2023 Producer of the Year title.[12]
