The ground-breaking roots of rapper and
producer EA-Ski trace back deep within the
concrete history of Bay Area music; you can
find the musical fingerprints of EA-Ski with
rapper Spice 1 before (and during) his time
with Jive Records in the 90's. EA-Ski produced
three tracks off of Spice 1's self-titled
debut album while signed to the record label,
and contributed another four beats to the
California spitter's sophomore follow-up, "187
He Wrote", both of which went Gold. Continuing
to solidify the strength of his production
work with Spice 1, the EA-Ski produced "Trigga
Gots No Heart" was also featured in "Menace II
Society". In addition, the famed producer was
also heavily instrumental in Master P's early
success with No Limit Records, where as an
original one-fifth member of No Limit's TRU -
along with P, King George, Big Ed, and Rally
Ral - EA-Ski released the EP "1 Step Ahead Of
Yall" through In-A-Minute and No Limit in
1992.

Looking ahead and fresh off the presentation
of the Okanagan 2010 Film Festival Award-
winning short film "No Problems", which
features actor Danny Glover, EA-Ski and his
I.M.G.M.I. imprint will be putting out several
upcoming projects like his latest solo album
titled "5th Of Skithoven", which is set to
feature original, new music from the storied
producer, as well as boasting appearances from
Ice Cube, Freeway, Locksmith, Techn9ne and
others. The video to the lead-single "Please",
featuring west coast heavyweight Ice Cube, is
currently being played in heavy rotation,
garnering over 100.000 views on youtube within
the first two weeks of its release.
