Mr. Hill

Musical career Mr. Hill's first production credit was in 1999, for the song "Investigation Zero" for another Pacific Northwest hip hop artist named Footprints. The song appeared on the 1999 cassette tape Operation Raw. While he was mainly DJing at the time, he eventually focused more on producing. Through making connections in the local circuit, he met Onry Ozzborn, who would be a frequent collaborator of Mr. Hill's, with Onry eventually inviting Mr. Hill to join Oldominion.

Following encounters and discussions Grayskul had with Slug and other Rhymesayers Entertainment members, Grayskul's album Deadlivers was released on the label in 2005. Mr. Hill produced over half the album, taking on the Moniker "Phanton", while Onry Ozzborn took "Reason" and JFK to "Recluse".

In 2006, he released his first solo album, Snaps. The album features IAME, Boom Bap Project and Onry Ozzborn, among others. The same year he joined Oldominion rapper Barfly and released the album Nite Owls.

The next year, Mr. Hill released his first instrumental album The Darkest Hour via Hal Cush Music.

In 2011, he released the album SMiRK, an instrumental album mixing electronic, jazz and hip hop elements.
