Hip-Hop and R&B fans have been shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of Charles "Chucky" Thompson. A native of Washington D.C. who cut his teeth with the legendary Chuck Brown, the hitmaker who made a name for himself as one of Sean "Puffy" Combs's Hitmen was behind some of the greatest songs of the 90s and 2000s.
Thompson's brand of soul, bass-heavy grooves made him one of the most in-demand producers of his era. His hits for Faith Evans, the Notorious B.I.G., Busta Rhymes and the inimitable Mary J. Blige cemented his legacy and solidified his storied reputation. In remembrance to the man, we picked five of our favorite productions from Chucky Thompson.
