In Search of Chad Hugo: Half of the legendary Neptunes production duo | GQ
Chad Hugo has crafted some of the most futuristic hip-hop and pop music of the past 25 years. With Pharrell Williams, his longtime friend and partner in the Neptunes, Hugo’s production handiwork includes the hyper sonar pulses and thunderclap syncopation of The Clipse’s “Grindin'”; the comet trail of synth debris cascading through Britney Spears’s “I’m a Slave 4 U”; the colliding keyboard drones and cosmic dinner bells that nourish Kelis’s “Milkshake”; and the impeccably orchestrated steam hiss, drowsy slide whistle, mouth clicks and blissfully grandiose chords that compose Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”
