A post shared by DJ Clark Kent (@djclarkkent)During his four-decade career, Clark worked with the likes of Lil’ Kim, The Notorious B.I.G, Lil’ Vicious, Mona Lisa, 50 Cent, Canibus, Mad Skillz, Estelle, Slick Rick and Rakim.His biggest hit was ‘Loverboy’, a 2001 single by Mariah Carey, which peaked at Number 2 in the US on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.Figures from across the hip-hop world have shared tributes to Clark, including producer and DJs Pete Rock, and DJ Scratch, who told Rolling Stone that Clark was the “most uniquely multi-accomplished person in hip-hop culture.”RIP Clark Kent, the DJ-turned-producer with the gilded ear, who flipped a sample as well as anyone to dig through a dusty crate.

The creator of timeless anthems for Biggie, Jay-Z and Junior Mafia & who brought Rakim back at a time when he'd been counted out.Brooklyn's finest.
