Daddy-O, is an MC and record producer. He began his career as a member of the pioneer hip-hop group Stetsasonic with Prince Paul. Throughout the years, Daddy-O has spent his time remixing and working with artists such as Freestyle Fellowship, Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, Living Colour, Big Daddy Kane, the B-52's, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In 1981 Daddy-O helped form Stetsasonic, one of the original hip-hop groups. Originating in Brooklyn, it is remembered as the first hip-hop band to use live instruments, and its positive, uplifting lyrics have made the group forerunners of alternative hip hop and jazz rap. The band received note for their albums In Full Gear and Blood, Sweat & No Tears released in 1988 and 1991, respectively. After the release of Blood, Sweat & No Tears, the group decided to take a break from performing, and each member pursued their own career. 1988 saw the release of Audio Two "Top Billin" which "Daddy-O" was responsible for producing and creating the most sampled track in hip hop history. Top billing has been featured on Jay Z and Kanye West "Otis" 50cent "I Get Money" .
Daddy-O produced and remixed songs for musical acts such as Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The B-52's, Jeffrey Osborne, Chante Moore, and Lil' Kim.
