Sneed was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1999, which put a temporary halt to his career;[3] he has since recovered and is once again an active hip hop producer. He has since produced songs for the likes of G Unit, Scarface and Jay-Z. He has also started his own label Street Scholars Entertainment.
