The alias of Toronto producer Francis Nguyen-Tran is no idle boast: FrancisGotHeat has been coaxing fiery performances out of hip-hop and R&B’s biggest stars on tracks that masterfully balance gritty beats and dreamy atmosphere. His use of ticking rhythms and circular synth patterns dials up the intensity on the Big Sean/Eminem showdown “No Favors”, while his contribution to Drake’s More Life mixtape, “4422”, showcases his flair for lush soundscapes.
