Biography

After early production credits on late '90s albums by Redman (Muddy Waters, 1996), Erick Sermon (Insomnia, 1996), Busta Rhymes (When Disaster Strikes, 1997), EPMD (Back in Business, 1997), and Organized Konfusion (Equinox, 1997), Rockwilder went on to become one of the East Coast's most prized producers, laying down tracks for high-profile rappers such as Jay-Z and Prodigy, while continuing to work with rappers such as Busta Rhymes and Redman. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

Rockwilder (born Dana Stinson) is an American hip hop and R&B record producer. A long term friend of Def Jam rapper Redman, Rockwilder got his start producing album tracks on Redman's late-1990s LPs. In 1999, Rockwilder produced Method Man & Redman's hit single "Da Rockwilder".

Biography

He went on to craft records by other artists, including Jay-Z's "Do It Again (Put Ya Hands Up)" (1999), Busta Rhymes and Erykah Badu's "One" (1998), Xzibit's Front 2 Back (2000), and De La Soul's "I.C. Y'All" (2000). He also went on to work with Janet Jackson (several album tracks on All for You) and Destiny's Child (the Rockwilder Remix of "Bootylicious" as well as "If" and "Free" from Destiny Fulfilled), and was the co-producer, with Missy Elliott, of the 2001 Christina Aguilera/Lil' Kim/Mýa/Pink cover of Labelle's 1974 "Lady Marmalade" for the film Moulin Rouge! for which he received a Grammy Award. He also produced the song "Dirrty" for Aguilera featuring Redman using the original beat he produced for Redman's song "Let's Get Dirty (I Can't Get in da Club)". In the '00s, Rockwilder produced several tracks on Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' Supernova (2001). The songs include "Hot" and "Rags 2 Riches". Later in 2003, he made the collaboration between couple Kelis and Nas, "In Public", being released from Kelis' Tasty.

After a string of pop-chart hits, Rockwilder has slowed down and in recent years has been giving his beats almost exclusively to longtime friends and collaborators Redman and Method Man.

Rockwilder has founded his own record/production company (Muzic Park Entertainment), who is launching its first act, Motown recording singer/songwriter Yummy Bingham (a signed artist and owning/producing partner in Muzic Park). In early 2006, Rockwilder went into the studio with R&B singer Brandy to record songs for her fifth studio release. For Beanie Sigel's 2007 album, The Solution, Rockwilder produced the track "Shake It For Me".

Although it is thought that rocbattle.com and letsbeef.com is run by Rockwilder, it is actually run by a close friend of his. Other popular sites of the type include ROCbeats.com and PickABeat.net (also run by a close friend).
