About Sam Sneed

Sam Sneed (born Sam Anderson in 68 in McKeesport, Pennsylvania) is a producer and rapper. He originally got his start working as a producer for K-Solo and the Hit Squad. In 1993 he was signed to Death Row Records, releasing only one single, U Better Recognize featuring Dr. Dre, in 1994. He became well known for a catchphrase, "I’m Sam Sneed, you better recognize!", from the song and the related Death Row movie, Murder was the Case. The single peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart, #18 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart and #48 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. Sam Sneed also produced the hit songs Keep Their Heads Ringin' and Natural Born Killaz for Dr. Dre. He recorded an album on Death Row Records with his group Street Scholars in 1995 which included J-Flexx, Sharief, Vance Buford & Stocks McGuire aka Drauma which remains unreleased. Sneed was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1999, which put a temporary halt to his career; he has since recovered and is once again an active hip hop producer. He has since produced songs for the likes of G-Unit, Scarface, Jay-Z and has confirmed he has been recently working with Dr. Dre. He has also started his own label Street Scholars Entertainment.
