Hosted by The Breakfast Club’s DJ Envy, the event featured performances by the four NYC producers who were competing for a spot in the Producers Series finale in Los Angeles this fall.

The grand prize winner will get the opportunity to make a track with Big Sean and Mustard. The four producers who competed were Point 1, RamZ, St. James the Producer and N88. Each producer played their beat for the crowd. Then a panel of judges gave out scores. The judges included music executives Kendall "Sav" Freeman, Vice President of Maybach Music Group, Steve Carless, A&R at Universal Music Group, and Orlando Wharton, A&R at Atlantic Records.

So who was the winner? it ended up being St. James the Producer, who will move on to the finals.
