Marley Marl
原名Marlon Williams，1962年出生于纽约皇后区，无疑，他是最伟大，也是最具有影响力的制作人之一，RZA,Pete Rock，DJ Premier都表明自己在制作上受了Marley Marl很大影响。
Marley Marl早期是著名团体Juice Crew的制作人，Juice Crew的成员包括了Big Daddy Kane，Biz Markie，Roxanne Shanté，Kool G Rap，MC Shan，Masta Ace，这段时期内最出名的无非就是和Boogie Down Productions的“桥之战”了，Marley Marl早期合作过的艺人还有King Tee和LL Cool J，Eric B & Rakim等等。
众所周知，采样是Hip-Hop制作的重要手段，Marley Marl更是采样的先驱，最早的时候他是一位电子制作人，而后转型，电子的元素越来越少，他帮那时红得发紫的MC Shan就曾制作过“Down By Law（1987）”，“Born to be Wild（1988）”，他本人自己1985年的时候在Tuff City唱片公司下发行的个人的单曲“DJ Cuttin”奠定了他的地位，Marley Marl至今为止依然是最具传奇性的DJ之一，同时也还是世界DJ组织“The Core DJ's”的成员之一。
如果你不了解Old School可能就很难知道Marley Marl，更别提他制作过的单曲，由于患有心脏病，Marley Marl近几年的动作非常地少，也许如今美国的Hip-Hop大势所趋，这些老制作人都很难再混口饭了，不管是Pete Rock，Premier，还是RZA，情况也不见得好到哪去。如果你想了解Mar ley Marl，07年他和KRS-One合作的专辑《Hip-Hop Lives》，还有08年和Craig G合作的《Operation：Take Back Hip-Hop》都值得你去听听。
