Shane Lee Lindstrom (born February 11, 1994), known professionally as Murda Beatz, is a Canadian record producer. He has produced hit singles including "Butterfly Effect" for Travis Scott, "Back on Road" for Gucci Mane, "Nice for What" for Drake, and "Motorsport" for Migos.
In 2018, he guest featured alongside Nicki Minaj on 6ix9ine's single "Fefe", which peaked at number three on both the Canadian Hot 100 and US Billboard Hot 100. In 2019, he released his debut single as a lead artist, "Shopping Spree" (featuring Lil Pump and Sheck Wes) through Interscope Records. [3] In addition, he's since released collaborative singles or mixtapes with artists including Smokepurpp, MadeinTYO, 24hrs, G Herbo, and PnB Rock, among others. [4] He is most recognizable by his producer tag "Murda on the beat so it's not nice!" [5]
Lindstrom was raised in Fort Erie, Ontario, near Buffalo in a musical household and played drums as a child. [6] He began producing beats at age 17 when he was still in high school using FL Studio after leaving his drumset at his friend's house. [6] He chose his stage name "Murda Beatz" to promote his music on YouTube. [7] When he turned 18, he moved to Chicago, and later worked with Chief Keef and Lil Durk. Lindstrom stated that he met most of his early artists through social media and mutual friends. [8] [6] Eventually, he connected with Atlanta rap group Migos and moved in with them to start producing their music. [6]
Murda Beatz is notable for being a lead or featured artist on some tracks he produces, similarly to DJ Khaled, Mustard, or Mike Will Made It. [8] He made the decision to transition to a "producer-artist," as Billboard describes it, in order to have more control and release music on his own timeline, instead of being dependent on the artists in the song. [8] He released his first mixtape, Keep God First, in December 2016. [9] He opened for G-Eazy's tour in the summer of 2018. [10] His first single as a lead artist, "Shopping Spree," was released in 2019 with Lil Pump and Sheck Wes. He released his second single called "Banana Split," which features YNW Melly and Lil Durk, in March 2020. [11] He plans to release his debut album by the end of 2020. [8] In March, he confirmed the title to be Murda She Wrote with an initial release date of June 2020. [12]
In 2019, Beatz created his own record imprint called Murda Beatz Recordings and signed artist Adam Halliday. [12]
In 2021, Beatz was honored in the Forbes 30 Under 30 listing under the music category. [13]
By the time of June 2022, Murda Beatz started dating the Brazilian singer Anitta, but they broke up 2 months later. [14]
