He considers himself to be someone who came from the streets, struggled with the world, and made it to where most people die before reaching.

Needlz

Hip Hop and R&B producer

 In his unassuming t-shirt digging in the crates with an Ipod permanently tucked in his pocket, it’s easy to assume that producer Khari “Needlz” Cain is just your average guy harboring a guiltless obsession for vintage records. However, after you listen to his musical arsenal and take a look at his A-List clientele, it is clear that his unique sound has the hardiness of a veteran tastemaker.

Needlz challenges musical boundaries by carving out his own identity in today’s highly competitive market. His list of production credits resembles a musical collage of Hip Hop and R&B, morphing soulful textures to fit seamlessly with any artist he works with. His distinctive club-savvy style is malleable enough to transcend genres, labels, and categories, and has posed as the musical platform for a slew of industry heavyweights including 50 Cent, Jermaine Dupri, Fabolous, Nappy Roots, Redman, Ludacris, Young Buck, and Scarface.

The Lansing, Michigan native developed a love for music at an early age from his father, a jazz buff who kept John Coltrane and Charles Mingus in constant rotation. He absorbed Hip Hop sounds of the early ‘90’s from artists like The Roots, WuTang, Mobb Deep, Snoop, Nas, Jay-Z, B.I.G and A Tribe Called Quest. “Everybody had their own style and feel when they came out,” he says of the era. “Coming from the Midwest, I listened to everything from house to bass music, to East and West coast. Albums that really inspired me were Nas’ Illmatic, Souls of Mischief’s 93’ Till Infinity, Snoop’s Doggystyle and The Roots Illadelph Halflife. I miss that feeling albums like that gave me.”
Inspired to leave his own mark on the musical scene, Needlz began deejaying. He packed up to attend Florida A&M University, where he became a permanent fixture at parties and local clubs. With a firm understanding of how to make crowds gravitate to the dance floor, Needlz fueled his passion to get behind the boards and make the hits. “I deejayed until the end of ‘99 and picked up producing as a hobby,” he explains. “I was in my room in college one day listening to the second Wu album, and it just hit me. I wasn’t really feeling school or the thought of working in corporate America, so from that day on I spent all of my energy on getting to New York to pursue a job working in the industry.”
Needlz moved to New York to pursue a graduate degree in Music Business at NYU. He utilized an internship at Bad Boy Entertainment as a testing ground for his production talent, and caught the ear of former A&R executive Folayan Knight. Impressed by the infectious personality of Needlz’ tracks, Knight began to manage the young producer and helped usher his music into the industry spotlight. Needlz gained acclaim for the infectious single “Think Ya’ll Know” from Fabolous’ 2003 mixtape album, More Street Dreams 2.

Contrary to popular belief, heroes sometimes lurk behind the curtains, actively choosing to elude visibility. Make no mistake, though-if the mystery man behind the boards is the man behind a classic beat, you’ll soon know his name. In the late 90’s, producers crept from the shadows to seize the spotlight of mainstream hip-hop, as well as the pop charts. In the last few years, one man shows such as Moby, DJ Shadow and Timbaland have proved what underground hip-hop fans have known since Marley Marl’s heyday-a talented producer can shine solo. Enter RJD2.
