Career

Porter was one of the founding members of D12. In this role he produced both the group's debut album and large parts of Eminem's first solo album, Infinite . In the following years he became known to a wider public both as a rapper Kon Artis and as a producer, mostly under the name of Mr. Porter . For example, he produced 50 cents hit PIMP or songs for Xzibit , Young Buck , Obie Trice and Bizarre . For the Bad Meets Evil EP Hell: The Sequel he worked as co-executive producer.
