Recharged is an album produced entirely by well known Los Angeles producer Cook Classics. Featuring a who s who of up and
coming artists, primarily, though not exclusively, from the bubbling L.A. independent scene.
Self-taught in the art of production, Cook Classics versatile style easily blends sharp parts of raw East Coast boom-bap with a
breezy relaxed soulful West Coast vibe and a refreshing aura of musicality that exceeds Hip Hop. Born and raised in New York,
he discovered a passion for music production in college, and moved to Los Angeles after graduation. An L.A. resident with Big
Apple roots, Cook has influences from two of the world s most unique and musically rich destinations. Those cities helped form
his ability to seamlessly blend together the sampling elements of live instrumentation and precise vocal arrangements. Cook
shows a level of originality and scope that clearly distinguishs him as one of the next major producers in music.
An important member of the colorful new L.A. Hip Hop scene, Cook has performed and been showcased along with fellow rising
production stars Exile DiBiase and Flying Lotus. Quickly establishing himself as one of the most important beat makers in town,
Cook has worked with Hip Hop duo U-N-I and Inverse, as well as produce an acclaimed full-length project with emcee Noah
King Nieve. Besides his work with the up and coming artists, Cook has also attracted attention from industry veterans and established
stars like MC Lyte, Chali2Na (of Jurassic 5), Diamond D, Wordsworth and Atlantic Records artist Mistah Fab.
