Biography
RJD2 originally began his career in Columbus, Ohio, DJing in 1993 with a pair of turntables bought from a friend. He claims his name originates from another friend who referenced him as "RJD2" in his raps, and the name stuck.[2] Originally working the role of DJ in the Columbus rap group MHz, he later signed to Bobbito Garcia's Fondle 'Em label, releasing the self-proclaimed "mix CD" Your Face or Your Kneecaps. A year later he signed to rapper/producer El-P's label Definitive Jux, where he released his solo debut Deadringer. In 2002 RJD2 collaborated with Columbus rapper Blueprint under the name Soul Position, releasing Unlimited EP, and 8 Million Stories in 2003. He released his second solo album Since We Last Spoke on Definitive Jux in 2004 and released Soul Position's third album Things Go Better With RJ and Al in 2006 under Rhymesayers Entertainment label. He still continues to produce tracks, working with many independent rappers, such as Copywrite, Cunninlynguists, MF DOOM, Diverse and Aceyalone. Recently he contributed a cover of "Airbag" by Radiohead for the 2006 album "Exit Music". He has recently announced that he has left Def Jux and will be going for more of a 'pop route'. RJD2 has been extremely popular in the skateboarding and skateboard filming subculture, frequently used in montages.
Zoals je ziet lijkt deze man een hiphop-producer, maar hij is zoveel meer. Hij heeft ook verklaard te willen stoppen met hiphop te maken om zich op zijn droom te richten: Het maken van een album dat muzikaal richting de Beatles gaat. Een zeker aanrader is zijn album: Since We Last Spoke. Hierop zijn verschillende stijlen instrumentale muziek te vinden en dus vast wel iets voor iedere muziekliefhebber. Zijn nieuwe plaat biedt dit ook, maar dan met zang eroverheen van de man zelf.

Aangezien wij gamers zijn kan ik ook wel zeggen dat deze man verantwoordelijk is voor de vele instrumentale stukken in Mark Ecko's Getting Up, waaronder de mooie intro.
Zijn nummer Ghostwriter is gebruikt op de soundtracks van de films Wimbledon en Prime.
