Allen Raphael Ritter (born June 19, 1988) is an American record producer and songwriter.

He has been credited on Drake's "Controlla", Young Thug and Travis Scott's "Pick Up the Phone", Kanye West's "All Day" and "Father Stretch My Hands", Rihanna's "Work", and Nicki Minaj's "Regret in Your Tears", among others.
Biography Ritter was born in Yonkers, New York, and grew up in Danbury, Connecticut. He taught himself to play piano in his youth and began producing music as a teenager in the mid-2000s. In 2007/2008, he connected with New York-based producer Vinylz online and the two later began working with Toronto producer Boi-1da who had already been working with Drake. Together, they have produced a number of hits for artists like Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Chris Brown. Ritter also co-produces with Metro Boomin, with whom he produced much of Travis Scott's 2015 album Rodeo and Metro's 2018 album Not All Heroes Wear Capes, as well as other Toronto-based producers like Frank Dukes and Nineteen85.
As a solo artist, Ritter has worked on music for a number of years and released three singles in 2018.
