Studdah Man
Studdah started from the ground up, driving a Winnebago during the Anthrax/Public Enemy tours for Chuck D’s rap group known as the Young Black Teenagers which featured DJ Skribble and Kamron. But by 1994, he was working on the Public Enemy album, “Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age,” including co-writing and co-producing the biggest hit off of that album and Public Enemy’s highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100, “Give It Up.” Studdah went on to run Chuck D’s record label, SLAMjamz, while managing and producing albums for artists on the roster, including Chuck D’s solo projects.
