He and OutKast members Big Boi and André 3000 make up the record production company Earthtone III. ==Biography== Raised on the southside of College Park, Georgia, Mr. DJ attended Banneker High School. He entered the music industry as a DJ for Atlanta-based hip-hop group OutKast. According to Sheats, After touring with the group for a year, he began to focus more on production rather than deejaying. By sharpening his beat making skills, Mr. DJ got the opportunity to help produce OutKast's 1996 second album ''ATLiens''. Following his work on OutKast's “Elevators (Me & You)” and several songs from their album ''Aquemini'', Mr. DJ formed Earthtone III production group with Andre 3000 & Big Boi. Collectively, they produced roughly 80% of all the OutKast albums, from ''Stankonia'' on to their latest album, ''Idlewild''. In addition, Mr. DJ continued to DJ on every OutKast album, except ''Speakerboxxx/The Love Below'', which he mostly produced. To date, his most notable hits include "Da Art of Storytellin'," "B.O.B.," "Ms. Jackson," and "The Whole World." He is also a part of the Atlanta-based hip-hop/R&B/soul musical collective The Dungeon Family. Mr. DJ has won two Grammy Awards, one in 2002 for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for "Ms. Jackson," and another in 2004 for Rap Album of the Year for his work on OutKast's ''Speakerboxxx/The Love Below''. In 2008, he started his own record label, Camp David Records, with several new artists including Jeff B., Chinkie Brown, and Shawty Redd. Public Relations Associate Keith Kemp was quoted as saying: Mr. DJ recently worked with Mos Def on his new album ''The Ecstatic'', and produced four tracks on Common's 2008 album, ''Universal Mind Control''.
