His production style has been described as up-tempo, radio friendly with a rudimentary melody which has been recognized by critics as Mustard’s personal style. Other songs and productions that are similar to Mustard’s beats are often criticized to copy the DJ. He leaves a producer signature to most of the songs he has had a hand in. The signature is “Mustard on the beat, ho!” and it precedes the beat drop on his songs.
