Producer Spotlight - Ayatollah


You may or may not be too familiar with this producer but you definitely know some of his work.  I Choose Ayatollah for the second Producer in my Producer spotlight.  He has worked with many “Underground” New York Artist back in the late 90’s and early 2000’s such as Mos Def, Cormega, Sean Price, Saigon, Tragedy Khadafi, Ghostface Killah, Royce Da 5’9 and Guru to name a few.



I First started looking more into him after hearing Mos Def’s “Ms. Fat Booty” (Yes he produced that classic) and also “My Life” With Styles P and THEE Pharoahe Monch ( Yeah he did that as well).   I am also a fan of Cormega, who he produced a Ton of songs for as well.  He may not be as popular as lets say Pete Rock, Alchemist or Premo but the man did his thing and definitely created some great Music for Artist in New York.  Let’s get into a few Song he is responsible for
