FEATURED PRODUCER: DUKEBEATZ EDITORIAL CONNECTION: Cardo Got Wings / collaborative production orbit Coverage: Tracks released 2021–2026; expanded with Who Coppin (2026)
For this KOLAK archive, DUKEBEATZ is recognized through individual tracks associated with Larry June, Cardo Got Wings and Wiz Khalifa—not by assigning every Cardo beat to him. Some releases include other co-producers, and one documented credit also specifies a loop contribution. This editorial grouping does not claim formal employment, management, label membership or endorsement.
COMBINED PLAYLIST FEATURE / FEBRUARY 24, 2023—2026: Read DUKEBEATZ / Cardo Got Wings — Singles & Albums ↗ for one release-by-release view of the newer selections, distinguishing track-level DUKEBEATZ credits from Cardo-only releases.
Some production work is instantly recognizable from its tag; some is hidden inside the full credit roll. DUKEBEATZ’s documented contributions connect the late-night Bay Area rap sound to collaborative releases with Cardo Got Wings. Here we give those individual track credits their own space rather than crediting entire albums to a contributing producer.
The index below keeps track-level published credits separate from KOLAK-supplied contributor notes. Unconfirmed secondary-discography production attributions have been excluded.

THE DUKEBEATZ SIGNATURE — JAZZY GUITAR RIFF. Alongside the two KOLAK-reported production contributions, the defining sound to listen for is the warm, jazz-leaning guitar motif: smooth, lightly plucked melodic notes sitting within the unhurried, soulful West Coast rhythm. It gives the “California Dream” and “Win or Lose” discussion a musical identity beyond the credit list. This is KOLAK’s description of the production texture; the exact riff source, instrument performer, and any sample have not been independently established.
Two tracks from Larry June’s Who Coppin (2026) ↗ have been added from KOLAK’s DUKEBEATZ contributor information. Public album descriptions identify Cardo’s production; DUKEBEATZ’s exact credited role is noted here as supplied information pending independent confirmation against label liner credits.
Song / artist
Project / production and vocal notes
California Dream (feat. Jhené Aiko) Larry June & Jhené Aiko
Who Coppin (2026), track 8 DUKEBEATZ — KOLAK-reported production contribution; public album write-ups also identify Cardo. Jhené Aiko is an officially billed guest. Official album and feature listing ↗
Win or Lose (feat. B-Legit) Larry June & B-Legit
Who Coppin (2026), track 10 DUKEBEATZ — KOLAK-reported production contribution; Cardo is identified in public album editorial. KOLAK also notes a vocal appearance by Jhené Aiko that is not separately billed in the official guest listing. Official Spotify album ↗
Listening sequence: “California Dream” (#8) → “Pretty Green Eyes” (#9) → “Win or Lose” (#10). The two DUKEBEATZ-attributed selections are connected by this album passage, not immediately adjacent tracks. Jhené’s “Win or Lose” vocal identification is a KOLAK listening note, not an additional official featured-artist credit.
How these credits were checked
Track-level credits: Dork’s DUKEBEATZ credit index and DUKEBEATZ × Larry June index identify the listed June/Wiz tracks, with individual pages for “Gas Station Run,” “Chops on the Blade,” “Where I’m Going,” “Black Man” and “Gotta Be Love.” The retailer Qobuz explicitly names Dukebeatz as a producer on “On the Unda.”
Credit verification: Unsupported Payroll Giovanni production assignments have been excluded from this DUKEBEATZ index. A track will be restored only if its specific producer contribution is independently corroborated.
Credit policy: KOLAK uses the exact performer, project and specific producer role wherever possible. A loop credit is reported as a loop credit even when the person is also named as producer. No artist’s entire project should be assigned to DUKEBEATZ just because he contributed to individual songs. The two 2026 Who Coppin entries are identified as KOLAK-reported contributor notes while a separate label-issued DUKEBEATZ credit is still being checked. Additional tracks can be added when reliable notes or first-party credits are available.
