Career
editLongtime friends and collaborators, Reddick and Sherwood met while students at Morehouse College in Atlanta. Reddick, originally from Savannah, Georgia, grew up as a classically trained pianist, who played tenor saxophone and drums in his middle and high school bands. Sherwood was raised in Boston with an art background, and started using turntables in high school. At the time they met, they were individually producing for various Atlanta University Center artists, and subsequently began working together as the Beat Bullies.
