I did a solo MC & a group one. This is the producers edition. All these producers deserve i know I might be forgetting some or just exclude some but its top 10 so it's hard. Do note that producera like Kno, Double-O, Foolery, Sinopsis & etc...didn't make it since they are apart of groups or haven't established a solo career. Enjoy.

8. Oh No
The younger brother of production genius Madlib. Oh No is one of the better producer/rapper combo has he excels in both. He is a very well connected in the indie world as he is mentioned and seen alot. Oh No obviously gets he inspiration from his older brother. But he tries to keep his music to sound different then his brother. Oh No is constantly working I wouldn't be surprised to see some project with his name attached.
