It\u2019d be easy for Ski Beatz to stay settled on his seat in Hip Hop history with classic records like Jay-Z\u2019s \u201cDead Presidents 2,\u201d Camp Lo\u2019s \u201cLuchini\u201d and Fat Joe\u2019s \u201cJohn Blaze\u201d under his belt. Instead, the North Carolina-bred and New York City-residing producer maintains a workload reminiscent of a hungry up-and-comer.<\/p>\n

Spending much of his time in the \u201c24 Hour Karate School\u201d studio (a.k.a. DD172) with friend and colleague Dame Dash, his upcoming mixtape of the same title features established names like Mos Def and Jim Jones alongside future stars like Curren$y, Stalley and Jay Electronica. And as soon as those samples are cleared, he\u2019s getting to work on several other projects with Karate School\u2019s collaborators. In an interview with HipHopDX Producer\u2019s Corner, Ski talks about the importance of creative minds both new and old, and explains how to achieve corporate success without the limits of corporate terms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
