A few weeks later Ty was visiting the Def Jam Recordings offices in Midtown Manhattan and he saw Hov and Kevin Liles riding the escalator up. A 22-year-old Justin “Just Blaze” Smith happened to be hanging around Baseline that day and he assisted Ty by stepping in as recording engineer. That evening Ty watched as Bleek went into the booth and blacked out and when Beans heard his efforts he accepted the challenge and jumped on. However, at that point in time the Roc-A-Fella team were focused on raising the profile of his understudies and Dame Dash bought the beat for Amil’s debut, much to Fyffe’s disappointment. He produced it specifically for Jigga with the rapper in the room, taking inspiration from his hard-hitting, grimey output of ’99. Ty Fyffe’s majestic beat sampled Roy Budd’s theme-song from the 1972 action film Fear is the Key. By the end of the ’90s Ty had returned to New York, was taught further by Erick Sermon of EPMD, and was a regular feature at D&D Studios and the early days of Baseline. He has production credits on Roc-A-Fella releases such as Jigga’s Top 5 effort “This Life Forever,” the heavy “Murdergram” by Murder Inc., Beanie Sigel’s “Change” and six tracks on Cam’ron’s Come Home with Me album. During his time with Teddy Ty was blessed to meet Michael Jackson at Neverland and watch the master at work. His first production placement was the classic “Rump Shaker” by Wreckx-N-Effect, which also features Pharrell Williams’ first writing credit. The track was produced by Queens native Tyrone “Ty” Fyffe, who learned his producing craft from Teddy Riley during the New Jack Swing era. In a hugely successful year for the co-CEO of the independent label this was an intentional move to keep the rest of Roc La Familia bubbling in the street. “4 Da Fam” peaked at #29 on Billboard’s “Hot Rap Singles” and spent 11 weeks on the charts. It was the second time the four Roc representers had got together on a track, and for fans and critics worldwide it was heard to be substantially better than Vol. The second single from the First Lady of the Roc’s debut album All Money is Legal, “4 Da Fam” was released to radio and stores on September 13, 2000.

The music video was shot in a production studio in Hollywood and directed by Nick Quested, who told me that production went smoothly and everyone was a consummate professional on-set.
