Donell McGary (born October 30, 1976) known professionally as Dibiase, is an American alternative hip-hop producer from Watts, Los Angeles, California. He is also a member of Project Blowed hip-hop shop.

Career

Dibiase released his debut album, Machines Hate Me, on Alpha Pup Records in 2010. Pitchfork gave it 5.8 out of 10, while Resident Advisor gave it 4 out of 5. Before doing music, he made a living as a graphic artist. Unlike most hip-hop producers who use the Akai MPC and SP-1200, he primarily utilizes the SP-303 and SP-404 installments, for they provide a gritty lo-fi sound.
