@ some of these beats/samples

McKasty began his musical career as a bassist of the pop rock band the Mandolindley Road Show. After the group disbanded, Paul joined the hip hop group Mikey D & the L.A. Posse.He began working as a producer and engineer for numerous hip-hop acts. Paul C's best-known work is on Ultramagnetic MC's 1988 classic debut album Critical Beatdown and the non-album singles the group released between 1988 and 1989. He has only one credit as a producer on the album, for the track "Give the Drummer Some," but according to group member Ced Gee, Paul C was responsible for the overall sound of the album.Paul preferred to work without contracts, so he often did not receive credit for his production work.

Paul C also worked for many other artists including Grandmaster Caz, Super Lover Cee & Casanova Rud, Stezo, and Rahzel. He also served as a mentor of Large Professor in the use of the E-mu SP-1200. He overheard a recording session of a new local group named Simply Too Positive and offered to produce its entire demo. Simply Too Positive eventually became Organized Konfusion and its demo created a major buzz around the group

Paul C's status began to grow and he was hired to work for higher-profile artists. He produced tracks for Eric B. & Rakim's Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em. He was planning on producing more songs for the group and also for Queen Latifah, Biz Markie, and Large Professor's group Main Source.

Sorry. Me and my friend just discovered dude the other day. We were both amazed that we hadn't heard of him before, figured other folks haven't either. Didn't recall ever seeing someone mention him on any hiphop boards either.
