In the mid-2000s, Scott Storch had a strong argument for being on that decade’s Mount Rushmore of hit-making producers. The former Roots keys player was collaborating with certified Hall of Famers Dr. Dre and Timbaland and had amassed an impressive string of his own hits, and a jaw-dropping $70 million empire to show for it. 

Now a shell of his former beat-king self, one must wonder what heights he could have reached if he would have kept his nose clean, pun intended. But there’s no way to discredit the Piano Man’s past works. Here are 15 Scott Storch tracks that remind us of his former super-producer status.
