THE SUPER PRODUCERS PLAY N SKILLZ

About Me

"PRODUCTION CREDITS"
Grammy Award winning producers and rap duo Play-N-Skillz consist of brothers, Juan "Play" and Oscar "Skillz" Salinas who hail from Irving, Texas. They have been gaining heavy recognition as A-list producers having worked with some of the top names in the industry including 50 Cent, Pitbull, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Hilary Duff, Slim Thug, Nina Sky and Lil' Flip to name a few. Play-N-Skillz reached the pinnacle of their producing success in the summer of 2006 when they produced and co-wrote Chamillionaire's Hip-hop anthem "Ridin" (Dirty) which became the most requested song of the year soaring to the top of the urban, hip-hop and mainstream radio charts as well as became the biggest selling ringtone of all time selling over 4 million ringtones. "Ridin" was certified by the RIAA as the first multi-platinum Mastertone in history and earned Play-N-Skillz a GRAMMY. In the summer of 2007, Play-N-Skillz produced another Hip-hop anthem, "So Krispy" by Kia Shine as well as Pitbull's sexy hit "Secrets" feat Lloyd and the "With Love" remix for Hilary Duff, which paired her up with Slim Thug. Currently, Play-N-Skillz are in the studio working on their second album "The Titaniq," which will be released on their record label G4 Recordz/Asylum. Play-N-Skillz are focusing on building an empire and are grooming G4 Recordz to become the next big label to take over the music industry by signing up and coming rapper Lumba and R&B crooner Reyez. Play-N-Skillz began their career in music as DJ's and quickly discovered their talent for making beats. After a chance meeting with Texas based rapper Lil' Flip – Play-N-Skillz produced 12 tracks on his Multi-Platinum album "U Gotta Feel Me" and scored a publishing deal with EMI Publishing and a reputation for making hit records. After working with rappers and MC's who lacked commitment and passion, Play-N-Skillz decided to try their hand as MC's and entertainers and leaked a single entitled "Freaks" feat Krayzie Bone and Adina Howard to the local radio station in Dallas. "Freaks" began getting consistent play on radio stations across the nation and garnered over 3,000 spins per week in major markets like Los Angeles and New York. Several major record labels showed interest and Play-N-Skillz decided to sign with Universal Records. They released their debut album "The Process" in 2004, which featured appearances from Three 6 Mafia, Akon, Lil Flip, Static, Krayzie Bone, Adina Howard, Layzie Bone, Frankie J., and Chamillionaire. Play-N-Skillz became the first credible Latin artists from the South with the ability to rap and produce and were quickly embraced by the Latino community. The duo released two singles and shot two music video's for the album, "Freaks/Call Me" and "Latino's Stand Up" which received consistent play on MTV and BET. Currently, Play-N-Skillz are one of the most sought after producers in the business and have been featured in The Source Magazine, XXL Magazine, Scratch Magazine, AllHipHop.com, Sohh.com, MTV – Sucker Free, BET- Rap City and The Dallas Morning News to name a few.
