Happy Birthday, DJ Pooh!

June 29, 2021 By Chad Kiser

Pioneering producer DJ Pooh is undeniably a pillar in hip-hop. Four decades in, he has produced classic songs for LL Cool J, King Tee, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Ice Cube, Tha Dogg Pound and others. Coming up as a DJ for the legendary West Coast DJ crew of Uncle Jamm’s Army, Pooh’s historical production on LL Cool J’s 1987 release Bigger & Deffer, would cement him as true pioneer.

After producing incredible amounts of classic records for LL Cool J (“.357 – Break It Down”), King Tee (“Act A Fool”, “Played Like A Piano”), Del tha Funkee Homosapien (“Mistadobalina”), Ice Cube (“It Was A Good Day”), and producing two cuts off the Boyz n the Hood soundtrack: Yo-Yo‘s “”Mama Don’t Take No Mess” and Kam‘s “Every Single Weekend”, DJ Pooh began transitioning into film.

From producing the drive-by shooting sequence in Boyz n the Hood, Pooh would go on to co-write the film Friday with Ice Cube, and also portray the character iconic character “Red“. Other films in DJ Pooh’s filmography include 3 Strikes with Brian Hooks, The Wash with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, and Grow House with Faizon Love.

Happy Birthday, DJ Pooh!

Check out one of DJ Pooh’s most recent productions, “Ain’t Got No Haters” with Ice Cube & Too Short from Cube’s Everythang’s Corrupt album:
