To date, Cheap Cologne has produced and recorded tracks with The Lordz Of Brooklyn featuring Busta Rhymes, Slug, I Self Devine & Musab from Rhymesayers, Pigeon John, Z-Man, Slim Kid Tre (Pharcyde) DJ Quest, The Shapeshifters, and DJ T-Rock to name a few. Cheap Cologne has played festivals such as The VANS Warped Tour, Canada's North By Northeast (NXNE), Bomb Hip-Hop’s “Return of The DJ Tour” and released his now OUT OF PRINT debut album "Just A Little Sample" on the California based Bomb Hip-Hop label.

HERE IS WHAT THE PRESS HAS TO SAY:

This here Cheap Cologne is something else entirely... If Dick Clark were commissioned to produce a hip-hip record, Just A Little Sample would be his brainchild. Funneling pop culture references from all walks of life, Twin Cities producer/DJ Cheap Cologne has created a divinely diverse, devoted and just plain hilarious maiden LP. Like any white suburban youth who grew up on equal parts Pantera and Public Enemy, Cheap Cologne drops a schizoid mix of Anglo angst. Whether it's Pigeon John resurrecting Tony Danza, Slug sparring over Slayer's "Spirit In Black" or CC's cheeky homage to pacifiers and glowsticks ("Ravers Suck"), this album seems to have the Axe Effect. - Carelton Curtis, XLR8R Magazine

Cheap Cologne comes up with clever instrumentation as the backdrop for the lyricists to drop knowledge gems on. -Okayplayer.com

Jay-Z vs. Metallica: The Double Black Album - Minneapolis' Cheap Cologne brings metal cred to Jay-Z by combining both artists'Black Album "Enter Sandman" finds a new roll as the eerie backdrop for Hova's "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" and "99 Problems" sounds perfect with Metallica's "Sad But True" - Rolling Stone

CHEAP COLOGNE "The Double Black Album" : An inevitable combination: Jay-Z meets Metallica's black album, the 1991 "Metallica." Metallica's somber power chords and brooding slow arpeggios underline what Jay-Z calls "my pain and my struggle." The Metallica riffs turn Jay-Z into a rocker with a perpetual chip on his shoulder. - NY Times
