Haas G〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rapisouttacontrol.com/tag/haas-g/ )〕(born Carlos Evans, aka Fantom of the Beat) is a Staten Island-based hip hop musician. Haas G was part of the 1990s rap duo The U.M.C.'s, and as Carlos Evans, he is credited as producer of the hit "Magic Stick" (Lil' Kim featuring 50 Cent). ==Biography== Opening the door for Staten Island Hip-Hop, Haas G started his music career in the early 90's performing as part of the Hip-Hop duo, the U.M.C.'s. The group won high acclaim for their first single, "Blue Cheese" (#1 Billboard rap single〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.billboard.com/archive/charts/1991/rap-song ))〕 and the second single, "One to Grow On" (#2 Billboard rap single), both from their 1991 debut album ''Fruits of Nature''. The duo produced a second album, ''Unleashed'', in 1994,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.billboard.com/album/439967/fruits-of-nature#/album/umc-s/unleashed/151967 )〕 before each member going solo soon thereafter. Following the break up of The U.M.C.'s, Haas G took some time for family prior to reinventing his career as a full-time producer in the late 1990s. He rebranded himself as Fantom of the Beat, and under this name and its variations, his production credits span many artists in the Hip-Hop world and include "Magic Stick", Ghostface Killah’s “Apollo Kids” track from the ''Supreme Clientele'' album (this song helped turn Ghostface’s solo career around, with critics calling it his “street credible resurrection song.”), and in addition, he produced “Take it Off” for Busta Rhymes on the album ''E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front'' which is widely considered Busta’s best effort for its sequencing and quality material. Music, according to Fantom is the universal language. He credits his exposure throughout his life to a variety of genres in his success as a producer. Fantom’s credentials also include “Magic Stick” which he produced for 50 Cent and L’il Kim. Upon its release, this track was one of the most played songs in crossover urban markets and reached the #2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Fantom continues to stretch his production talents – to include his trademark style combining elements of the late ‘60’s and ‘70’s creating the sounds which represent the struggle and the voice of the inner city. He takes his life experiences and applies them to music – creating sounds that, in essence, are capable of moving people to take action. “Music is a substantial part of my life; it’s how I express my fears, my sadness and happiness, my everything. My music is raw emotion,” Fantom says. “The passion I feel for music shows through in everything I create,” he adds. In the music industry, everyone has a role model and Fantom is no exception. “Strong role models in the industry, for me, include Quincy Jones, Paul Mauriat and Willie Mitchell.” Fantom has also worked with artists such as Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, and Ms Toi. In addition, he’s worked with some of the most well known labels such as Def Jam Records, Aftermath Records, Koch Entertainment, Epic Records, and Universal Records, to name a few. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haas G」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
