Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on February 24, 1974)

Happy Birthday to Chad Hugo, the legendary beat wizard behind countless hits! From crafting iconic tracks alongside Pharrell Williams in The Neptunes—giving us timeless jams like "Drop It Like It's Hot," "Milkshake," and Justin Timberlake's unforgettable "Rock Your Body"—to pushing musical boundaries with N.E.R.D., you've consistently made our playlists funkier and infinitely cooler.

Whether you're quietly shaping pop culture from behind your synths or casually redefining hip-hop beats, your genius remains unmatched. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've given fans worldwide—and maybe a little less cowbell (just kidding, we always need more cowbell). Cheers!
