Jesse Woodard (born September 11, 1987), also known as Chase N. Cashe, is an American record producer, best known for co-producing Lil Wayne's 2009 single "Drop the World", which peaked within the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. [2]
Woodard graduated high school in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina and was forced to move to Los Angeles in 2006 at 17 after losing his familial home. [3] He began releasing early productions on MySpace, resulting in area artists and producers reaching out to inquire. [4] After one such inquiry, Woodard and fellow producer Hit-Boy would meet to work with new artist Sean Kingston, forming music collective Surf Club. [4] Surf Club would grow to include singer-songwriter Stacy Barthe, Chili Chil, fellow producer Brandon Carrier, and other members. [3] [5]
Woodard next moved to Atlanta where he began ghost-producing for Grand Hustle Records producer Khao, who would pay him a flat $5000 rate for his productions, tweak them, and give Woodard drum production credits. This resulted in his first unofficial placements ("Double Up" from R. Kelly's 2007 studio album Double Up , and "Pak Man" from 2007 Yung Joc album Hustlenomics ). [3] Woodard would receive his first official placement working with Hit-Boy, as well as singer Frank Ocean (then known as Christopher Breaux - a fellow co-writer) on Brandy's "1st & Love" from her 2008 album Human . [6]
Other than his early work with Frank Ocean, Woodard is noted for working with rappers Drake, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar in the early stages of their respective careers. [7] In 2010, he was mentioned in early Drake cut "9AM in Dallas" from his debut studio album Thank Me Later after motivating him to record the song to a beat Woodard selected from producer Boi-1da and recommended for Drake. [5] [8] In 2012, Woodard released 17-track 'beat-tape' Verde to acclaim. [9] In 2013, he would reunite with founding Surf Club member Hit-Boy to release Beyoncé song "Rise Up" from animated film Epic co-written with Sia. [10] Woodard and Hit-Boy would later reunite again in 2015 for project The Heir Up There 2, before Woodard executive-produced Currensy's 7-track mixtape Cathedral . [4] [11] Rapper Mac Miller surprise-released single "Speed Racer" (produced by Woodard) soon after the release of this third studio album GO:OD AM . [12]
Woodard is also known for various Troy Ave, Young Money Entertainment and The Pussycat Dolls productions. [13] [14] [15] [16]
