Following the lead of DJ Khaled and DJ Drama, DJ Felli Fel signed a major-label recording contract and made plans to storm the charts with a star-studded album billed to himself. Born James Andrew Reigart in Rock Hill, SC, Felli Fel grew up in Atlanta, moved with his family to Los Angeles as a teenager, and began his career as a radio DJ in Dallas on K104. After three years in Dallas, he moved to Power 106 in Los Angeles, where found a longtime home, enjoyed a much larger audience, and made a name for himself within the rap industry over the years. While stationed in Los Angeles, Felli Fel also began working as a beatmaker, producing tracks for the Outlawz, the Luniz, Young Rome, Guerilla Black, Cassidy, Xzibit, Sean Kingston, Baby Bash, Smitty, and others.

In 2007, in the wake of DJ Khaled's and DJ Drama's commercial success, Jermaine Dupri offered Felli Fel a recording contract with Island Def Jam/So So Def. The DJ/producer made his major-label debut with a pair of singles -- "Get Buck in Here," featuring Diddy, Akon, Ludacris, and Lil Jon; "Finer Things," featuring Jermaine Dupri, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, and Fabolous -- released in promotion of his upcoming album debut in 2008, tentatively titled Go DJ! ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
