SKI BEATZ is an artist, legendary record producer, musician and MC originally from North Carolina. New York City’s own Hip-Hop aficionado, DJ CLARK KENT, discovered Ski Beatz during a performance with the “BIZZIE BOYS” after opening up for the legendary MC DANA DANE.  Ski Beatz was originally known as “MC WILL-SKI” and was a member of the group “ORIGINAL FLAVOR”, which was the first group, managed by future recording industry executive DAMON DASH.  Ski Beatz began to produce music for rap duo, CAMP LO on their first debut album “UPTOWN SATURDAY NIGHT” which peaked at NUMBER 27 on the BILLBOARD 200 CHART and spawned the hit single, “LUCHINI AKA THIS IS IT” reaching the TOP 5 on the HOT RAP SINGLES CHART.  Soon after, Damon Dash commissioned Ski Beatz to work on the debut album of another artist on his roster, JAY Z.   Jay Z’s album “REASONABLE DOUBT” marked another major production placement in Ski Beatz career.  Ski Beatz produced four tracks off the album, including the hit singles “DEAD PRESIDENTS” which was a commercial success as indicated by its RIAA CERTIFICATION as a GOLD SINGLE and “FEELIN’ IT” the fourth single. After the critical success of Reasonable Doubt, Ski Beatz formed ROC-A-BLOK PRODUCTIONS in affiliation with Jay Z and Dame Dash famous record label ROC-A-FELLA RECORDS, working with Camp Lo and SPORTY THIEVEZ.  Ski Beatz crafted most of Camp Lo’s debut, which dropped in 1997 and provided Camp Lo with most of the production for their second album LET’S DO IT AGAIN, and their third album BLACK HOLLYWOOD.
