Ron Browz
 

The “street” audience is often neglected by many producers in favor of creating popular hits for mainstream artists. Since the late ‘90s, Harlem native Ron Browz has made it his business to bring both worlds together. In his quest to keep the spirit of street Hip Hop alive, he has received little credit for some major accomplishments. Fortunately, he is now on the verge of receiving proper accolades for his work.

Influenced by the sounds of DJ Premier, Dr. Dre, and Havoc, Ron’s first big break came in 2000 when he produced four songs on the late Big L’s album, The Big Picture, including the classic track “Ebonics”. Big L taught Ron about the music business, and exposed him to a new network of contacts.  The experience gave Ron reason to take the game seriously, and his career began to grow exponentially.

When he gave some beats to Queensbridge emcee Nas during the recording of the 2001 double-platinum album Stillmatic, Ron Browz was not expecting history to be made. Nas used Ron’s track as the foundation for his lyrical battle classic “Ether”, a scathing comeback to Jay-Z “The Takeover”. “When I did the beat and Nas picked the track, I didn’t know that’s what it was gonna be for”, explains Ron. “To this day I feel honored. I get a lot of respect for it when people meet me.”

The credibility of “Ether” sparked a demand for the Ron Browz sound. His reputation for crafting impactful records grew with songs like the Ludacris smash hit “Blow It Out” from the 2003 album Chicken N Beer, which has sold over 2.5 million copies to date. Other platinum-plus albums with Ron’s magic touch include Lloyd Banks’ Hunger For More with the song “Playboy”,  DMX’s “F*ck Y’all” on the Grand Champ LP, “Whatz The Word” on Lil Kim’s La Bella Mafia album, and the Snoop Dogg collaboration with 50 Cent “Oh No” on Snoop’s 2004 project, Rhythm & Gangsta: The Masterpiece.

2005 began as another memorable year for the young producer, with a strong showing on Jae Millz’ street anthem, “Who”. Ron appeared in the video with Jae, which received heavy rotation on BET’s Rap City and Uncut after it premiered on 106& Park. In November, Ron Browz’ production was presented in the opening song for 50 Cent’s blockbuster film Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. The track, “I’ll Whip Ya Head Boy”, which features 50 and Young Buck over Ron’s brazen bassline, also appears as a special bonus track on the soundtrack for the movie.

Faced with the fact that Hip Hop fans know his track record but not his name, Ron Browz humbly acknowledges that this should not be an issue much longer. “Every day a different person learns about me, and I want my name to be out there with the big names,” he states confidently. “I bring raw talent to the game. I taught myself everything about making beats. For a person with eight gold and platinum plaques, I still don’t get that recognition. When people hear my name I want them to say ‘I know it’s some fire.”

In 2006, Ron Browz and Jae Millz teamed up again for the rousing "Bring It Back", which spawned a remix that featured Fabolous and Lil Wayne. Ron's latest work includes Lloyd Banks' single "Help" and the track "Playboy (Part 2)", both on Banks' Rotten Apple LP.

The sky is the limit for Ron Browz, as he awaits the release of upcoming work with various artists including Amerie, Tony Yayo, Jae Millz and T-Rex, who is an artist on Ron’s own Money Ave label. He will continue to bring more street flavor in his work with Hip Hop’s elite.
