The producer is known for working with a range of big rap stars.

Stewart is credited for much of Young Jeezy’s early success with his stellar production on several introductory mixtapes including Can’t Ban the Snowman, Tha Streets Iz Watchin and Trap or Die, where he produced such standouts as “Jeezy the Snowman”, “Over Here” and “We Luv Ya”. For Jeezy’s platinum-selling 2005 Def Jam debut, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101, Stewart produced “Trap or Die” and “Get Ya Mind Right”, among others. (Examiner)

Last year, Redd spoke with SOHH about receiving a Grammy nod for producing Snoop Dogg’s “Sexual Eruption.”

“It hasn’t hit me yet,” Shawty Redd confessed. “Right now, I’m real happy about it. I just hope I win. Snoop actually had a chance to hear it and he wanted to buy that record from me. At the time I had a deal on the table for that record so I told him I’d just make him one like it and I came up with ‘Sensual Seduction.'” (SOHH)
