Avec ses compositions samplant des chansons de Soul principalement, il est à l'origine du retour de la vague « soulful » dans le rap américain, notamment en 2001 avec The Blueprint de Jay-Z.

Il se fera connaître du grand public en insérant au début de toutes les chansons qu'il a produit la voix d'un homme criant « Just blaaaaze !!! ».

Il a également produit quelques morceaux pour les bandes son des jeux vidéo Tiger Woods PGA Tour, NBA Ballers: Chosen One et NBA Street Vol.2.

Son frère Daren, alias DJ Poun', est DJ-résident au Club 40/40 d'Atlantic City. Il a produit quelques morceaux pour le label de Just Blaze, Fort Knocks.
