Playlist: 06/03/10 - Producer's Spotlight on Easy Mo Bee

Date: 06/03/10

Note(s): A discussion between ThaiMex and Santanna Hill led to an inquiry which led to a realization: Easy Mo Bee was killin' it in the mid- to late-90's!!! Your boys at The Barbershop decided to shine a Producer Spotlight on the man who, whether you realized it or not, had your head nodding the hardest from about 1994-1998.

His career has been long-ranging as it appears he was somewhat of an in-house producer for Cold Chillin' records in the late 80's and is undoubtedly a major force behind the establishment of Bad Boy's flagship artists, Craig Mack and The Notorious B.I.G. Incredibly versatile, ThaiMex and Santanna Hill rounded up a collection of track produced by Easy Mo Bee in the realms of Hip-Hop, Jazz, R&B and Rock.
