Biography
Before becoming Snoop's producer of choice during the late 1990s and early 2000s, Wells began his career as part of a funk band, Trey Lewd, that also featured Tracey Lewis,
George Clinton's son; this provided Wells with the opportunity to work with Clinton himself. By 1993, Wells found himself working alongside
Def Jef; the two's production on Shaquille O'Neal's "I Got Skillz" earned them some credentials. Throughout the mid-1990s, Wells continued to hone his craft, working on a number of remix projects before eventually being introduced to Snoop through a friend. Before long, the two were working together, beginning with "Still a G Thang," one of the songs on Snoop's ''
Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told''. Wells produced a few No Limit songs featuring Snoop — Tru's "It's a Beautiful Thang," Silkk the Shocker's "Get It Up" — before playing a major role in bringing a West Coast sound to Snoop's ''
No Limit Top Dogg'' album in 1999. In 2000, Wells reprised his role as one of Snoop's producers of choice, producing tracks for
Tha Eastsidaz' self-titled debut and Doggy's Angels' ''
Pleezbalevit'', as well as on two tracks on Snoop's own ''
