Statik Selektah has produced records for some of the biggest names in hip-hop, including Nas, 50 Cent, Eminem, and 2 Chainz. He is also the mastermind behind “Detroit vs. Everybody” with Big Sean.
Business Insider visited Statik’s Brooklyn studio along with Faith Newman, the senior vice president of A&R and catalog development for Reservoir, a music publisher and songwriting incubator that represents Statik. She is best known for discovering Nas. She also helped develop acts like The Fugees and LL Cool J and was Def Jam’s first female executive.
Statik produced the beat for Joey Badass and J.Cole’s collaboration “Legendary” on Badass’s album “All-Amerikkkan Badass,” released earlier this year, and Newman provided guidance on the album.
