FEATURE: Ron Browz:Producer Turned Singer
Ron Browz needs no introduction… or well, maybe he does. Because despite producing Big L’s late 90s hit, “Ebonics,” and lacing everyone from Nas (”Ether”) to 50 Cent (”I’ll Whip Ya Head Boy”) with his unique brand of synthesized grit, the Harlem native has been largely unknown outside of music industry circles. That is, until this past August, when he released “Pop Champagne,” featuring none other than himself behind the boards and behind the Auto-Tune. “Pop Champagne” initially bubbled in the New York City club circuit before it started getting mixshow play on New York Radio Station Hot 97.
