Thrill

During the last 3 years, when hip hop artists needed "heat", they hit up J-Thrill. Detroit born and bred and L.A. based, this producer has worked with many of hip hop's most heralded artists on the underground scene and in mainstream music. Since producing "Summertime in the City", the first single from Planet Asia's 2003 debut album 'The Grand Opening', Thrill has worked with the likes of Talib Kweli, CMA, Strong Arm Steady, hip hop legends X-Clan, Chino XL, Ma$e, LMNO, Mitchy Slick, and many others.

Coming from, as he states, "the golden age of Detroit hip hop", where luminaries like J-Dilla, Proof, Eminem, and Denaun Porter were his contemporaries; he's crafted a sound that, "bangs, but is still really musical". DJ Rhettmatic calls him one of West Coast Hip Hop's best kept secrets.even though he's from Detroit.

As a member of the production team that boasts DJ Khalil and newcomer James Alsanders, Thrill works closely with Angeles Records and Khalil's own group Self Scientific. With major label projects like the new D-12 album, Clyde Carson (from the Oakland group Team), and underground phenom Guilty Simpson and others coming this year, J-Thrill is set to push through to major recognition.



These labels and groups are really starting to make me feel like this type shit is necessary.
