Foxxx released his first LP, Freddie Foxxx Is Here in (1989) through MCA Records. He soon parted ways with the label and became a member of Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit establishment. In 1993, only promo copies of his second album, Crazy Like A Foxxx, were circulated when Epic Records decided to shelve it. Foxxx then began to be known more for his cameos on songs by Boogie Down Productions, Naughty By Nature, M.O.P., Missin Linx OC and, most notably, his appearance on Gang Starr's The Militia from their Moment of Truth album (1998). The song was issued as a single, building a buzz for Foxxx and helping him to prep for his next full-length release. This time around he applied the lessons he'd learned from previous experiences with major record labels, and went the independent route. The LP featured production from hip hop heavyweights DJ Premier, Pete Rock and The Alchemist. The members of M.O.P. provided the album's only cameo. After the success of Industry Shakedown, Foxxx released his third official album, Konexion (2003) via Barely Breaking Even. A less commercially successful affair, the album was nevertheless faithful to its predecessor in terms of style and content and featured contributions from frequent collaborator DJ Premier and DJ Clark Kent. Foxxx made significant contributions to the WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006 soundtrack. He contributed two songs, and made a guest appearance on another song. He also produced all of the hip hop songs.He also appeared on WWE John Cena's album You Can't See Me. In 2006, he released a mixtape called Street Triumph, in anticipation of his fifth album, Amerikkan Black Man. He has also confirmed a joint project with producer, Kev Brown, although it hasn't been announced when this album will be released. Christopher Edward Martin The early line-up of the Gang Starr Foundation in the mid-90's included Jeru The Damaja, Group Home, Big Shug and Gang Starr. DJ Premier was fully responsible for the production of Jeru the Damaja's first two albums, The Sun Rises in the East and Wrath of the Math. Jeru released two albums since then, with Premier having nothing to do with either of them. The supposed reason that the two are no longer affiliates is that there was apparently a financial dispute between them, and Jeru felt that Premier was cheating him out of his fair share. As far as Group Home was concerned, Premier commented, "They don't respect what fed them," in a 2003 interview, going on to say that the only reason he produced a track on their second album was because Guru said he would rhyme on it. Besides the Gang Starr Foundation, Premier is closely affiliated with M.O.P., which he names as one of his all-time favorite groups. The relationship started with the remix of Rugged Neva Smoove in 1994, a single from the group's first album, which also included the exclsusive B-side Downtown Swinga. From then, Premier produced about 1/3 of the songs from each album as well as overseeing and mixing the projects. On their upcoming album Foundation, DJ Premier provided only one track, called "What I Wanna B." DJ Premier has announced he plans on producing heavily on the upcoming Royce Da 5'9" album, Street Hop. He also is planning on launching his own website, and is open to the idea of a Gang Starr reunion if Guru is willing as well. Premier has developed a close relationship with Christina Aguilera after producing five cuts for her third album, Back to Basics including the Grammy Award winning single "Ain't No Other Man." He mentions her being like a little sister to him. Although he produced nine tracks for her fourth album, Light & Darkness he will not be featured on the final product. He is currently working with Aguilera on the sountrack to her debut musical-film Burlesque (film).
