Darkshadez Productions is a production company started in 2004 . It was initially founded in 1990 by a group of elite DJ's who dominated the local party scene from Jamaica Queens to the rest of the 5 NYC boroughs. Their skills on the one's and two's landed them prestigious gigs including some with Queens NY's own greats such as Reverend Run and Jam Master Jay (R.I.P.) from the legendary rap group Run DMC.
After gaining enough DJ experience and catching a feel for the right rhythmic energy and music to keep the party jumping, Darkshadez decided to come original with their own beats and production. Working with a variety of local emcees polished and perfected their production craft but did not get them recognition on a major scale. This is when in 2004, they decided to make power moves and engage in the daring and creative works of the Jay-Z Latin Album. The concept of this was to bring light to their latin heritage while paying homage to hip hop and one of its greatest emcees. Congas, trombones, timbales and other latin instruments blended with rugged hip hop beats and lyrics was a sound that had never been heard. Through the grace of God, passion, and skill behind the production boards they made it a powerful sound that established them as bonafide innovators capable of creating their own sound and movement without having to follow a trend. Their seed was able to grow to such notoriety that Jay-Z himself arranged a meeting with Darkshadez to show praise and support.
With their newly found success Darkshadez shortly after landed a deal with Sony BMG to make a historical latin hip hop remix album for Big Pun. Unfortunately, that project was never completed through a number of set backs and political limitations. Discouraged from not being able to deliver hip hop listeners the classic they had promised, Darkshadez used resilience, persistence, and continuous hard work and creativity as refuge. They were able to work with some established and up and coming artists including Vico C, Voltio, Collie Budds, Cuban Link, T-Weapons, and salsa sensations Huey Dunbar, Michael Stuart and Frankie Negron. They also kept consistent on the DJ scene tearing down any party hired to do from private events to opening up for established DJ's such as the Heavy Hitter's own DJ Absolut. Also, in preparation for the return of their distant artist Justin Bates from the military, they continued producing hot beats, and networking with people of influence in the industry.
Now that Justin Bates has returned, they have completed their 1st project titled "Return of the Essence". They plan to continue on the path of creativity and giving Hip Hop listeners what they are dying to hear.... Powerful Music!

Hey whats up? I thought I'd let you know that this young white rapper from illinois is doing it big! I'm not anything special, I'm just like every other person except I follow my dreams! I hope to inspire someone somehow over my career! My debut album is coming to major stores near you and I personally wanted to ask you to critique the current song on my page "Rece$$ion" and let me know how YOU feel about it.
