Happy Birthday, Stevie J!

Stevie J is known for his creepy, unfaithful ways on Love & Hip Hop. However, many people forget exactly why he's on the show in the first place: he was part of one of the most formidable production crews ever. The former member of Diddy's Hitmen turns 44 years old today (Nov. 2).

Stevie had a hell of a run before becoming a reality TV star. As part of the Hitmen, he's had his hands on the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Notorious Thugs," "Mo Money Mo Problems" and a good number of other songs on Life After Death, Puff Daddy and the Family's "Victory" and "I'll Be Missing You," and Mariah Carey's "Babydoll." This is hardly a fraction of his production credits.

These songs get played all the time yet not a lot of people are aware that he's behind a lot of those beats. Times have changed. Diddy, once a hitmaking machine, is struggling to make a radio hit to promote his new album. Stevie J is now a reality star. The producer and his ladylove Joseline Hernandez will star in their own Love & Hip Hop spinoff, taking place in L.A. The show will follow the couple as they pursue their dreams in Hollywood.
