Since the early 90s, Lee has not only helped create the trademark sound of the South, but he has also laced beats for an impressive multitude of artists including the revered Tupac Shakur, Scarface, UGK and Jay Z.

One of the first producers to switch over to the digital medium, he ditched his ASR-10 in favor of an MPC drum machine and Korg and Roland keyboards to create Bun B, Pimp C, Jeezy, Z-Ro and Jay Z’s menacing “Get Throwed.” On MySpace, he corresponded with then up-and-comer Iggy Azalea and helped her sharpen her rap skills when she moved to Houston.

Over the past two decades, his soulful and synth heavy sound has not only been emulated, but has allowed him to rack up 9 platinum albums, 6 gold albums and singles on the radio for 13 consecutive years. He has had the opportunity to work with an array of artists including Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Mary J. Blige, Nipsey Hussle and Dwele. Now currently working with LL Cool J, he hopes his new XMG label will not only help break on-the-rise stars but serve as a hub for new artists to be heard in the future.
