Doctors Of Rhythm: Hip Hop's Greatest Producers Speak  Image The Recording Studio has long been referred to as "the lab" in record producer slang, and its a term that Hip Hop producers invented, along with generations of hits by the biggest stars in the game, including Eminem, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Lil Wayne, Drake, Beyoncé, The Fugees, The Beastie Boys, Kanye West, and many more revealed over 20 hours and chapters in a brand new audiobook from Blackstone Audio hitting stores on December 5th, "DOCTORS OF RHYTHM: Hip Hop's Greatest Producers Speak," narrated by author J.K. Brown along with the legendary producers interviewed in-depth throughout the book's 20 chapters.
