Glenn Bolton, better known by his stage name Daddy-O, is an American hip hop record producer and rapper. He began his career as a member of the pioneer hip-hop group Stetsasonic with Prince Paul. Since then, Daddy-O has become a record producer and remixer, working with acts such as Freestyle Fellowship, Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, Living Colour, Big Daddy Kane, the B-52's, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.〔 ==Career== In 1981, Daddy-O helped to form Stetsasonic, one of the original hip-hop groups. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York City, it is remembered as one of the first hip-hop crews to use a live band, and its positive, uplifting lyrics have made the group forerunners of alternative hip hop and jazz rap. The band received critical acclaim for their albums ''In Full Gear'' and ''Blood, Sweat & No Tears'' released in 1988 and 1991, respectively. After the release of ''Blood, Sweat & No Tears'', the group decided to take a break from performing, and each member pursued their own career. In this time period, Daddy-O produced and remixed songs for musical acts such as Mary J. Blige, Queen Latifah, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The B-52's, Jeffrey Osborne, Chante Moore, and Lil' Kim. In 1992, he produced the entirety of ''Nubian M.O.B.'', the eponymous debut album by the R&B group of the same name. He released his debut solo album in 1993, ''You Can be a Daddy, But Never Daddy-O'', on Island/PolyGram Records.〔(''You Can Be a Daddy, But Never Daddy-O'' overview ) at allmusic.com〕 In 1993, Daddy-O produced and appeared on the track, "Inner City Boundaries", off of Freestyle Fellowship's ''Innercity Griots''.
