Grammy Award Winning producers and rap duo Play-N-Skillz consist of brothers, Juan "Play" and Oscar "Skillz" Salinas who hail from Dallas, Texas. The duo are fresh off of another GRAMMY win, snagging an award at the 2009 GRAMMYs for their production work on Lil Wayne’s hit single “Got Money” feat T-Pain.
The duo have now entered A-list producer status having recently been featured on MTV and BET and working with some of the top names in the industry including Lil Wayne, Akon, Pitbull, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Hilary Duff, Slim Thug, Nina Sky, Yung Joc, Hurricane Chris and Lil’ Flip to name a few.
Play-N-Skillz’ sophomore album “Out Tha Box” will be released on G4 Recordz in the summer of 2009. They have recently released their official first single “Checkin My Fresh” featuring Jay-Z to radio stations around the nation.
Play-N-Skillz earned their first Grammy in 2007 when they produced and co-wrote Chamillionaire’s Hip-hop anthem “Ridin” (Dirty) which became the most requested song of the year soaring to the top of the urban, hip-hop and mainstream radio charts as well as became the biggest selling ringtone of all time selling over 4 million ringtones. “Ridin” (Dirty) was also certified by the RIAA as the first multi-platinum Mastertone in history.
In the summer of 2007, Play-N-Skillz produced another Hip-hop anthem, “So Krispy” by Kia Shine as well as Pitbull’s sexy hit “Secret Admirer” feat Lloyd and the “With Love” remix for Hilary Duff, which paired her up with Slim Thug. Currently, Play-N-Skillz are in the studio working on their second album “The Titaniq,” which will be released on their record label G4 Recordz/Asylum. Play-N-Skillz are focusing on building an empire and are grooming G4 Recordz to become the next big label to take over the music industry by signing up and coming rapper Lumba and R&B crooner Reyez.
Play-N-Skillz began their career in music as DJ’s and quickly discovered their talent for making beats. After a chance meeting with Texas based rapper Lil’ Flip – Play-N-Skillz produced 12 tracks on his Multi-Platinum album “U Gotta Feel Me” and scored a publishing deal with EMI Publishing and a reputation for making hit records.
After working with rappers and MC’s who lacked commitment and passion, Play-N-Skillz decided to try their hand as MC’s and entertainers and leaked a single entitled “Freaks” feat Krayzie Bone and Adina Howard to the local radio station in Dallas. “Freaks” began getting consistent play on radio stations across the nation and garnered over 3,000 spins per week in major markets like Los Angeles and New York. Several major record labels showed interest and Play-N-Skillz decided to sign with Universal Records. They released their debut album “The Process” in 2004, which featured appearances from Three 6 Mafia, Akon, Lil Flip, Static, Krayzie Bone, Adina Howard, Layzie Bone, Frankie J., and Chamillionaire. Play-N-Skillz became the first credible Latin artists from the South with the ability to rap and produce and were quickly embraced by the Latino community. The duo released two singles and shot two music video’s for the album, “Freaks/Call Me” and “Latino’s Stand Up” which received consistent play on MTV and BET.
Currently, Play-N-Skillz are one of the most sought after producers in the business and have been featured in The Source Magazine, XXL Magazine, Scratch Magazine, AllHipHop.com, Sohh.com, MTV – Sucker Free, BET- Rap City and The Dallas Morning News to name a few.
