MORE ABOUT DA BEATMINERZ: 
Da Beatminerz defined the dark, gritty sound of underground Hip-Hop in the '90s. Formed in 1992 by brothers Walter “Mr. Walt” and Ewart “DJ Evil Dee” Dewgarde, the production duo pioneered Hip-Hop's brooding vibes, a tonal shift that came with the release of Black Moon's classic debut album Enta Da Stage. As producers of the seminal 1993 project in its entirety, Da Beatminerz set a precedent for hardcore Hip-Hop. Their sample-heavy, gutter tracks laced with heavy basslines, and hard kicks and snares helped reshape the music genre. In 1995, along with a third official member, Baby Paul, Da Beatminerz produced the entirety of Smif-N-Wessun's classic debut album Dah Shinin'. Their production credits eventually extended to records by Naughty By Nature, Eminem, D’ Angelo, MOP, Heltah Skeltah, Busta Rhymes, Next, Eightball & MJG, Nas, Dave East, Remy Ma, Styles P, Ghostface Killah, among others.

By 2001, Da Beatminerz expanded to five members, with producers Rich Blak and Chocolate Ty joining Baby Paul, Evil Dee, and Mr. Walt. That year, the group released their debut album Brace 4 Impak, via underground staple Rawkus Records. The album featured guest appearances from Royce Da 5'9", Ras Kass, Diamond D, Pete Rock, Talib Kweli, and more. By 2004, the crew narrowed back to its original members, Evil Dee and Mr. Walt, and the duo released their second album, Fully Loaded w/ Statik, followed by their instrumental album Unmarked Music, Vol. 1 in 2007.  Da Beatminerz went on to lend music to an episode of Hulu's hit series Wu-Tang: An American Saga. Moving into multimedia, the duo produced music for VH1’s series The Breaks, and helped score Netflix's The Forty-Year-Old Version.
