  • DJ Scratch (born George Spivey) was introduced to EPMD by Jam Master Jay at the Run's House Tour after DJ K LA Boss left EPMD. Impressed by his skills, the two designated DJ Scratch as their official D.J. by their second album Unfinished Business in 1989. His presence was felt with his powerful cutting and scratching techniques that are heard on various tracks. Aside from scratching, on Business As Usual, he produced the track "Funky Piano" and in 1991 worked on a remix for "I'm Mad" off the Rampage 12" single. In 1992 Scratch produced "Scratch Bring It Back, Pt. 2 (Mic Doc)" and briefly worked with DJ Magic Mike after EPMD broke up. Soon Scratch made a name for himself as a producer for Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad off Busta's debut album in 1996. By 2003 DJ Scratch became a well distinguished and revered hip-hop producer after working with 50 Cent, LL Cool J, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, DMX, The Roots, Q-Tip and other notable acts.
  • DJ Scratch est un DJ & producteur de Hip-Hop américain. C'est surtout en tant que DJ qu'il débute sa carrière lorsqu'en 1988, Jam Master Jay le présente au groupe EPMD qui cherchait un nouveau DJ pour une tournée. Ils sont tout de suite séduits par son style très personnel notamment ses techniques de scratch. Dès 1989, il devient donc le DJ "officiel" du groupe. Il restera le DJ d'EPMD, et produira aussi quelques titres, pendant quelques temps, jusqu'à ce que Erick Sermon et Parrish Smith se séparent. Il continuera de produire quelques titres, séparément, pour Parrish Smith (alias PMD) et Erick Sermon. DJ Scratch se fait ensuite un nom en tant que producteur, en travaillant notamment avec Busta Rhymes dès le premier album de ce dernier, The Coming en 1996. Par extension, il travaille également avec le Flipmode Squad, notamment sur leur The Imperial Album de 1998. Depuis, il participe à quasiment tous les albums de Busta Rhymes et est souvent avec lui lors de ses concerts. DJ Scratch est devenu un producteur respecté du Hip-Hop et a, depuis, collaboré avec les plus grands rappeurs amérciains : DMX, Talib Kweli, Snoop Dogg, The Roots, Q-Tip, Guru, LL Cool J, 50 Cent, Method Man & Redman, DJ Clue, ...
