Ski Beatz

SKI BEATZ
In 1990, under the direction of celebrated producer Clark Kent, Ski moved to NYC, formed the group Original Flavor and began making his mark as a lyricist and producer on songs such as Here We Go and Can I Get Open, featuring then unknown rapper Jay-Z. After two albums Original Flavor disbanded and Ski moved forward to give hip-hop fans a new raw sound they hadn't heard before. It was then that Ski and then manager Damon Dash found a unique, untapped talent in young lyricist Jay-Z. Ski would go on to be one of the largest contributors to Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt, discover Camp-Lo (producing countless songs for them including wildly popular songs Luchini and Coolie High), create his own record label (Roc-a-Blok) and put his trademark sound on such hits as Who You Wit and Streets is Watching (Jay-Z), Johnny Blaze (Big Pun, Fat Joe, Method Man, Nas, The Lox) and Spend a Little Doe (Lil' Kim).
