About Name That Producer
Name That Producer is HipHopCanada’s free hip-hop producer game. Match the records you know with the people behind their beats, from Canadian favourites to influential international releases. Each round gives you five song cards, including the artist names, and five production-credit cards. The challenge is finding the right connections.
Producers help shape a record’s rhythm, atmosphere and identity. This game puts that work in the spotlight. Some songs have a single producer; others bring together several collaborators. When you solve a match or finish a round, you can explore the production credits and the sources used to check them.
How to play
- Select a song on the left, then a production-credit card on the right.
- Choose Match selected cards to submit. Tap a selected card again to deselect it, or use Clear selection.
- Match all five records to win. Three incorrect pairings end the round. There is no time limit.
A correct match earns 100 points and each mistake subtracts 25, with a minimum score of zero. Correct matches stay locked in. When a round ends, the full credits appear alongside your results, with a prominent Keep Playing button for another practice session.
Frequently asked questions
Daily or Practice?
Daily gives everyone the same five records and production-credit choices within each song pool. A new challenge arrives at midnight Toronto time. Practice lets you play more rounds, avoiding that pool’s current daily songs and preferring records you have not encountered in your saved practice session.
What does Canadian Only include?
Canadian Only selects songs by Canadian lead artists. Their collaborators and producers may come from anywhere. Choose All to include Canadian, American and other international records.
Why do some cards list several producers?
The answer includes the production team credited for the listed release, including credited co-producers and additional producers. Songwriting, engineering and executive-production roles do not automatically qualify. Unresolved production credits are excluded from the playable bank.
Do I need an account?
No account is required. Saved rounds, score totals and high-contrast preferences stay in this browser. Clearing browser storage or using another browser starts a separate record. The optional background beat stays off until you turn it on, and you can adjust its volume or stop it at any time.
