Daringer

About

Daringer (Thomas Paladino, born April 17, 1985 in Buffalo, New York) is the in-house producer for Griselda Records and the primary architect of the label's sound. His beats - dark, sparse, and built from obscure soul, jazz, and funk samples - underpinned the underground breakthrough of Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, and Benny the Butcher. Beyond Griselda, he has produced for Action Bronson, Meyhem Lauren, and Rome Streetz, and has also served as Bronson's tour DJ.
