UnderRated (DJ) |
UnderRated aka Baby J has been dropin bombs behind the scenes for 8 years now. He has produced everything from rap to R&B to Punk Rock/Hip-Hop remixes. As the #1 producer for Lost Koast Productions and a member of underground group Potluck he has worked with such acts as Too $hort, Kurupt, WC, Tha Liks, Beatnuts, Rahzel of the Roots, Frost, Jurassic 5, Blackalicious, Living Legends, Defari, Bahamadia, The Coup, Digital Underground, Sir Mix A Lot, Cool Nutz, LifeSavas, and Non-Phixion.
UnderRated was born and lives on the West Coast in Humboldt County, California. Living on the west coast has definetly influenced his music. He grew up listening to underground Bay Area music and quickly became addicted. He had to get every single tape that came out. Not only West Coast, but every rap record that hit the store.At the age of 17, he was introduced to DJing and his music addiction continued to grow. After DJing for a couple years, he got into making his own beats. He purchased an EMax II and something called a SP 1200 drum machine. He went beat crazy. He made so much music that his neighbors got a restraining order against him for playing his music too loud. After 10 years of playing his music too loud he has produced 3 CDs for Lost Koast Productions. Potluck "Humboldt County High", Potluck Presents "Tha Lost Koast Kollective", and James Boy "Raps and Ballads." All 3 CDs have done exceptionally well, the first, "Humboldt County High," was the #1 selling CD in Humboldt for 8 months. The James Boy LP had three Top Ten singles on local radio, two of them went to #1.
He is currently working on the beats for the upcoming Potluck album and has recently produced beats for BG of the Hot Boys, NorthWest superstar Cool Nutz and Bay Area legend Equipto.
