Digi+Phonics is an American hip hop production team, composed of California-based record producers Tae Beast, Sounwave, Dave Free and Willie B. They currently serve as the main in-house producers for Carson-based record label, Top Dawg Entertainment. Digi+Phonics work significantly on projects from all the members of hip hop supergroup Black Hippy, who are also signed to Top Dawg and is composed of rappers Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul. Their best known productions include "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" by Kendrick Lamar, "There He Go" by ScHoolboy Q, and "Terrorist Threats" by Ab-Soul. They frequently co-produce songs together and put the finishing touches on the projects released by Top Dawg Entertainment.

All four members of the group, Tae Beast, Willie B, Sounwave and Dave Free all grew up in the Los Angeles, California area. They all started out as solo producers before working with Black Hippy members Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul. Top Dawg Entertainment begun signing all four producers to deals to become in-house producers for the record label. Shortly after all signing, Sounwave and Dave Free were in the studio, when Dave Free said, "We should get all our producers together and make this one Voltron of production." He felt they all had different great qualities about their productions that would fit well together. In November 2012, Complex named the group one of the "Top 25 New Producers to Watch Out For". In July 2013, BET named Digi+Phonics as a group, as one of the top ten young producers on the rise. Members of the group also worked on ScHoolboy Q's major label debut album Oxymoron.
