EOM was probably best known for his work with Wax (a former Def Jam signee), but the talented producer worked with a variety of prominent Hip Hop artists over the course of his career. Anderson .Paak, Blu, Chamillionaire, Mega Ran, Dumbfoundead, Asher Roth, Shad and Sene are just a few of the MCs that collaborated with EOM.
His most recent release, Danielito, dropped in November and was his first project to feature his skills on the mic instead of strictly behind the boards. Danielito, like much of the producer’s discography, can be streamed for free via his Bandcamp page.
Many of EOM’s collaborators and fans have reacted to the news of his death on Twitter. Read some of their thoughts on his passing below.
