He was a producer on Jay-Z's The Blueprint but wanted to make a name for himself, while recording the debut album he was involved in a near-fatal accident and had to get his mouth wired shut. While in the hospital he requested a drum machine so he could continue to record his album – one that would win him a Grammy.
