Now Playing is the debut CD release from hip-hop production icon, Ayatollah. Ayatollah has produced hits for just about everyone that matters in hip-hop including G-Unit, Ghostface, Mos Def, Rakim, Styles P, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Inspectah Deck, Cormega, Tragedy, Black Rob, Masta Ace, Vast Aire, and more. Ayatollah's signature soulful sound played a key part in the beat driven explosion of mid-90's hip-hop. While it's clear that Ayatollah's music speaks volumes, very few have gotten a glimpse into the world of the soft spoken producer through his own eyes. Now Playing is a collection of Ayatollah's favorite compositions, many of which have never been heard before. Nature Sounds. 2006.
