The Runners

The Runners憑藉單曲"Go Hard(DJ Khaled)"和"Hustlin'(Rick Ross)"而成名，另外，The Runners還幫Chris Brown, Fat Joe, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones以及Lil Wayne製作的歌曲。現在，The Runners正在合作的藝人有Danity Kane, Day26, Teairra Mari, Jadakiss, T.I., Young Jeezy, Trey Songz, Christina Milian, Ciara以及天后Mariah Carey。The Runners今年的優秀表現也讓他們獲得了2008年BET Awards年度製作人的提名。

現今歐美嘻哈樂壇有一個普遍的現象，就是製作人通常都會在自己製作的歌曲中加入自己的“LOGO”，當然在歌曲裏的“LOGO”只能通過音效來表現。熟悉歐美音樂的朋友或許會知道，Akon製作的歌曲中有一段標誌性音效，現今知名的流行、舞曲製作人RedOne也有自己的標誌性音效，The Runners也不例外，The Runners的標誌性音效是一個重複漸弱的打擊聲效，同Akon的標誌性音效極為類似。另外，就像Akon製作的歌曲中會有他“Konvict”的聲音出現，這也是現在流行的一個現象，The Runners在這一點上也不例外，他們通常會在自己的歌曲中加入一段“And we go by The Runners”的輕吼，另一位嘻哈/R&B製作人DarkChild(Rodney Jerkins)也通常會吼上一聲“DarkChild”，其他很多製作人也都有類似的習慣。勁榜認為這個現象也是現在製作人地位提升的一個表現，現在很多製作人也有了自己的唱片公司，儘管可能只是依附在一些大型公司下面的附屬公司，但是作為老闆的他們總應該比自己簽下的藝人要賺得多。有一個例子就可以説明，靠着寫了"Umbrella(Rihanna)" 、"Bed(J. Holiday )"、"Touch My Body(Mariah Carey)" 、 "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)(Beyoncé)" 、"Leavin(Jesse McCartney)" 等熱門單曲的The-Dream自己僅發行了一張專輯的時候就成立了自己的唱片公司Radio Killa Records。
