Houston-bred, Miami-based producer Ape Drums is no newcomer to the dancehall or electronic music scenes. He's been addicted to those Caribbean riddims since he was a young'n, and ever since he learned to produce, he's been on a mission to help those classic sounds boom bigger, hit harder and entrance the whole world. About six months ago, his management team got a call from Major Lazer. I feel good. This is better than what I was expecting. Now that this hard part is out of the way, I've got to think on the next level for everything that I do; music, my stage presence, everything. My first supporter in Major Lazer was actually Jillionaire.

Stop calling Ape Drums a moombahton producer. While you're at it, stop calling his music trap, too. He's kind of over genres altogether, but if you must call it something, call it what it is. But dancehall is still dancehall. Dancehall has been there for years.
