Farid Karam Nassar (born June 23, 1972), better known as Fredwreck, is an American music artist and record producer. He got his big break when he became a producer for Dr. Dre's newly founded record label Aftermath Entertainment, and then went on to work with Snoop Dogg's record label Dogghouse Records (now Doggystyle Records) and became a known producer on Tha Dogg Pound-affiliated material. He has produced tracks from Kurupt's Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha and most of his next release, Space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey; both released during the period the rapper had left Death Row. He has also produced for other hip hop and pop artists such as Britney Spears, Kurupt, Eminem, Ice Cube, Westside Connection, Lil' Kim, Hilary Duff, Xzibit, The Game, Nate Dogg, Everlast, Cypress Hill, 50 Cent, Mobb Deep, and The Doors, as well as non-US acts such as Dizzie Rascal, Tamer Hosny, Qusai and Karl Wolf.
The first child of Aida Kaileh and Karam Nassar, Fredwreck was born on June 23, 1972, in Flint, Michigan. His parents are Palestinians and fled to the United States in 1967 after the Six-Day War. Farid has two younger brothers, Omar and Salam.
