Biography

“Any nigga make it hot, get found in Vacant Lot” - Mase

When the book on hip-hop production is written, Dame Grease will hold the right to an entire chapter. After first establishing himself with The LOX’s “We’ll Always Love Big Poppa” and DMX’s breakout single “Get At Me Dog,” Dame Grease has gone on to sell over 30 million records and produce for a veritable who’s who of Hip Hop. In addition to developing his own production sound, Grease’s focus on being involved in artist development has allowed him to have a hand in launching the careers of artists and producers, such as Swizz Beatz, DMX and the LOX, who have also gone on to their own multi-platinum success.

Before becoming a staple on every mix tape, The LOX entrusted the sounds of Grease in order to attain the street buzz that landed them their deal on Bad Boy Records in 1996. Fellow Bad Boy Mase sought out Grease’s distinctive sound and gave him the opportunity to provide production on Mase’s triple platinum album “Harlem World”. This led to Grease’s work as the primary producer on DMX’s classic debut “It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot”, where Grease had a role in molding the Ruff Ryders image and their sound, into what would become one of the most well-known Hip Hop crews. During this time, Grease taught and paved the way for Swizz Beatz, another sample-free producer, to make his mark on the game.
