Since 1997 this producer has been trying to convince audiences he's also a worthwhile rapper, and while the singles "Up Jumps Da Boogie" (with Magoo, Aaliyah and Missy), "Luv 2 Luv U" (with Magoo and Shaunta) "Fat Rabbit" (with Ludacris) and "The Way I Are" (with Keri Hilson) were all cool, it was mostly because of the featured acts on those records, and the beats audiences already knew.
