Like emcees, producers are now battling in competitions to establish their name and separate themselves from the rest of the MPC bangers. The name Illmind first popped off on the Beat Society circuit, where he showcased with heavyweights like Kanye West and Just Blaze. Primarily known for producing tracks for underground heavyweights such as Little Brother, Boot Camp Clik, Akrobatik, and El Da Sensei, Sha Money XL’s Money Management Group has recently upgraded the New Jersey beat-smith’s seat from economy to first class, bringing new Illmind produced songs with 50 Cent, G-Unit, Redman, Black Eyed Peas, Scarface, LL Cool J, and many more. He has also been featured in multiple magazine and online publications, such as Scratch Magazine (Top 20 Best Producers), Mass Appeal, The Source, XXL, Hiphopgame.com, Hiphopdx.com, and more. But before the backpackers get their blog on, the equal-opportunity producer shows that with follow-up projects with Diamond D, Heltah Skeltah, Pharoah Monch, Jay Electronica, and more, a T-Shirt/Mixtape Line, music for the Jabbawockeez, and up-coming projects with his soon to be world-reknowned crew, Fortilive, he hasn’t forgotten his roots.
