Raised in Irving, TX, the Dallas-based
Play N Skillz -- brothers Juan "Play" Salinas and Oscar "Skillz" Salinas -- began producing music in their mother's apartment before creating a stir in their area. A meet-up with
Lil' Flip resulted in production work for the MC's
U Gotta Feel Me album, which led to a deal with Universal. The two released
The Process later in 2004, featuring vocal help from
Flip,
Adina Howard,
Krayzie Bone, and
Layzie Bone. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
