He is best known for his production work with Ludacris, Lil Wayne ("A Milli"), Beyoncé ("Video Phone" & "Diva"), Mario ("Break Up"), and Rihanna ("Cockiness (Love It)").[2] A two-time Grammy nominee, Crawford has also worked with Usher, Nicki Minaj, Brandy, and Ciara, among others.[3][4][5][6][7] He is also credited as an early mentor of fellow Midwestern producer Harv.[8]
