Acclaimed underground producer 88-Keys has steadily built his rep since the late 1990s, providing beats for a wide range of hip-hop artists (Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Consequence, Beanie Sigel, The Pharcyde, and Scarface, among others). Putting in work on the mic as well as behind the boards, 88-Keys composes a tight conceptual effort on his debut, THE DEATH OF ADAM, as he strings a narrative of lust, greed, and betrayal over 14 tracks. The demise of Everyman skirt-chaser Adam is told in first person by Keys, with supplemental testimonials from guests Redman, Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Bilal, and Phonte of Little Brother. |

Artist Overview
Influenced in his teen years by Prince Paul's work on De La Soul's legendary album 3 Feet High and Rising, N.Y.C. native Charles Misodi Njapa became 88-Keys and made it his mission to become a hip-hop producer. His big break came in 1998 when one of his productions landed on the Mos Def and Talib Kweli album Black Star. The next year, his remix of Macy Gray's "Why Didn't You Call Me" took things higher, and then in 2001, a track on Beanie Sigel's The Reason introduced him to Jay-Z and the Roc-A-Fella family. Work for the likes of Musiq (Soulchild) and the Pharcyde took the producer to 2008 and his debut full-length, The Death of Adam. ~ David Jeffries
