Recently, I noticed that a good percentage of my favorite tunes have been produced by Jazze Pha. I've checked around, and can't seem to find much information about him, or at least I'm looking in the wrong places (probably the case).
So, can anyone here enlighten me as to his history? Was/is he a part of Organized Noize? How long's he been around? Any tracks I should go out of my way to track down?

he's slightly overweight and has facial hair.
he wasn't/isn't part of organized noize. unless i'm wrong.
he's been around less than ten years but more than five.
his dad was in the bar-kays.
he was going to release a record called do you know this playboy? but it's been delayed or something or it just isn't out yet.
and:
8ball and mjg - 'thingz'
baby ft. 8ball and some other guy - 'fly in any weather' and all the other jazze pha stuff from that cd, 'thugz, pimps, hustlas,' i think, and whatever else. 'do that.'
'sick of being lonely,' of course.
pastor troy - 'undefeated'
trick daddy - 'in da wind'
lil wayne - 'look at me' and 'gangstas and pimps'
those are all kind of obvious choices. on all of those records he's totally outshined by everyone else. 'sick of being lonely' is great but there's a bunch of better production by unknown guys. and on the big ones he's outshined by all the other super-producers. he's a pretty good average producer who can do above average stuff sometimes.

Thanks. I know him from his production on Pastor Troy/Luda/Trick Daddy stuff (and an Aaliyah track he did). I suppose he is pretty often outshined on those albums by more name producers, but I think he's great. It just dawned on me last week that he's responsible for most of the really great not-quite-huge singles I've been loving lately.
Between him & Kanye West, I'm super-excited about a lot of rap productions out there.
