Record producer Boi-1da at the Grammys 2023

Yo, it’s your boy TLR coming at you live from the Bacardi  x ISLA Management co-hosted Producer of the Year Celebration on Sunset Strip, for acclaimed producer and songwriter Boi-1da! 

Last night, the Pendry West Hollywood was lit with the biggest names in entertainment including Jack Harlow, Tems, PartyNextDoor, Ella Mai, Shenseea, Murda Beatz, Vic Mensa, Karrueche Tran, Coco Jones, Freddie Gibbs, Pauli The PSM, and more, as we kicked off Grammys weekend in style.

Boi-1da’s unique production style, which blends traditional hip-hop elements with contemporary sounds, has earned him a reputation as one of the most influential producers in the music industry.

The Canadian record producer lists Drake’s Best I Ever Had, Forever, and God’s Plan; Eminem’s Not Afraid; and Rihanna’s Love the Way You Lie (Part II), on his CV.

He has also collaborated with artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Cardi B and Travis Scott. 

To honour Boi-1da’s awards nom, guests were treated to three custom Bacardi cocktails inspired by his biggest career moments: The 1DERFUL, BEST I EVER HAD, and the BOI-CARDI, a nod to the producer’s chart-topping tracks. And these drinks were just as fire as Boi-1da’s beats. 

But why should these Grammys A-listers have all the fun? We’ve got the recipes below, for you to make at home – and every one’s a smash hit!
