MPC XL with Teddy Riley | Akai Professional

While spending time in the studio with the new MPC XL, Teddy Riley looks back on his memories with the machine that gave him speed, freedom, and a signature feel that reshaped modern R&B and hip-hop.

He breaks down the origin of "No Diggity", born from a simple goal: make something fun. The sample went into the MPC and he built drums around it, and the groove did the rest. That workflow didn’t just create hits, it created time. The MPC allowed Teddy to deliver songs at an unstoppable pace.

Now with MPC XL, that same spark is back — bigger, faster, and more powerful than ever. https://inmusic.to/ycks3f9h

“This has given me a whole new excitement because it has everything… I feel like this is going to create my next chapter.”

With the power to run full-scale instruments and deliver unmatched standalone performance, MPC XL represents a full-circle moment for one of music’s most influential producers.

It’s memory. It’s innovation. It’s coming home.
