Chad Thomas sample featured on new Drake/DJ Khaled track

Jun 5, 2017

It’s been a busy few months off the football field for Miami Hurricanes defensive end and local product Chad Thomas.

After rapper Rick Ross used one of Thomas’ instrumentals for his album intro ‘Apple of My Eye’, DJ Khaled released a song this morning with Drake, which appears to sample another one of Thomas’ beats and ad libs. Khaled released his new single ‘To The Max’ from his upcoming album titled Grateful. The beat appears to be a sped up sample of Thomas’ 2015 song ‘Get ‘Em Right’.

Remember the #GetEmRight challenge featuring Miami running back Gus Edwards a couple years ago?

It has not yet been announced if Thomas will receiver production credit like he did for the Ross track, but it is impressive nonetheless.

Here is the new Drake/Khaled song:

Given the depth at DE, how quickly would you slide Thomas inside if either McIntosh or Norton get injured?

We have Gerald Willis.... who was very productive in the games he played in. Is as talented or more than norton or mcintosh

Producing is a good career but it should be a backup plan to football or a side hobby. A lot of local producers had some hits but had there run end..The Commitee...Drum majors..cool & Dee had a hiatus but seems like they back now..proud of the kid but get that NFL money too

It's hard to stay busy for a long period of time as a hip-hop producer. Producers are hot for a couple years and then they fall off hard after everybody gets sick of their sound.

Neptunes, Mannie Fresh, Timbaland, Scott Storch, Lil Jon, Cool-N-Dre, JUSTICE LEAGUE, The Runners, etc...all have basically disappeared.
Not a lot of longevity in hip hop producing.

I'm not from Miami so who are these other dudes from Dade county, Yung Gordon and Jay O that are taking credit for the beat. The site WhoSampled gives them credit instead of Major Nine.

Timbaland has been producing since the ealy 90s along with Pharell and the neptunes id say thats longevity.

Mannie did his time as well....but was basiclly only producing for cash money acts.

Cool n Dre still seem to produce here n there. But your correct...when they fall...they fall off a cliff. Because its pretty much your sound n constantly changing. The best hip hop producer arguably is Dr. Dre, and he gets credit for so much young producers work its crazy. **** Daz Dillinger made most of the beats we loved from Death Row. The only way to stay on is to keep evolving with the sound
