Today, Feb. 25, is the birthday of Toronto-based hip-hop producer Alex Williams, otherwise known as T-Minus. As one of Drake's official OVO producers along with Noah "40" Shebib, T-Minus is a certified hitmaker.

Though you may not know his name, you definitely know his musical mark. With a discography dating back to 2007, the Toronto producer has captured mainstream attention with successful hits such as Nicki Minaj's "Moment 4 Life," the irresistible “I’m On One,” Kendrick Lamar's breakout single "Swimming Pools (Drank)" and much more. T-Minus played a major role on Drake’s 2011 album, Take Care, producing five of the 19 tracks, including “Make Me Proud”, "HYFR" and the smash hit “The Motto.”

The three-time Grammy nominated producer most recently worked with G.O.O.D Music golden boy Big Sean on his song "Win Some, Lose Some" from his third studio album Dark Sky Paradise and will no doubt be a collaborative force in Drake's highly anticipated 2016 project, Views from the 6. 

Happy Birthday, T-Minus!
