About Me
I'm gonna keep it simple - Started DJ'ing back '88 in ATL. At that time in the A you pretty much was DJ'ing BootyShake joints and maybe some NYC Hip Hop ...Slick Rick, EPMD, Dougie Fresh, etc. Well it was 1992 and I met up with an up and coming music producer and he asked me to be his in house DJ/crate digger. From here I met H2O. Now at this point in time H20 was just a cat that had migrated to ATL from NYC ...Brooklyn. This dude basically opended me up to the NYC sound and rhyme style. We started making beats on the regular. Now as for my producery skills - I can say he gave me a lot of my direction and developement. I then continued making the NYC style Hip Hop and started seeing the music scene change in the ATL ...mainly with the release of a group called Outkast. These dudes basically put ATL on the map as far as giving the A it's signature hip hop sound and identity. As a producer doing NYC beats ...I was limited to the people I could work with ...so I had to change up and broaden my beat styles. Started doing more southern beats. I even started working with reggae artists as well. Currently I produce all kinds of beats Hip Hop (underground and mainstream), Deep house, Durty South, reggae, R&B/NuSoul ...the only genre I probably wont Eff with is country.
