Todd Joseph Gumke, (born January 8, 1973) better known by his stage name Mr. Hill, is an American hip hop record producer and DJ from Seattle, Washington. [2] Mr. Hill has produced for the likes of Kool Keith, [3] Mr. Lif, [4] Boom Bap Project [5] and Grayskul, [6] among others. He is a member of the Pacific Northwest hip hop collective Oldominion. [7]
Mr. Hill's first production credit was in 1999, for the song "Investigation Zero" for another Pacific Northwest hip hop artist named Footprints. The song appeared on the 1999 cassette tape Operation Raw. [8] While he was mainly DJing at the time, he eventually focused more on producing. Through making connections in the local circuit, he met Onry Ozzborn, who would be a frequent collaborator of Mr. Hill's, with Onry eventually inviting Mr. Hill to join Oldominion. [9]
Following encounters and discussions Grayskul had with Slug and other Rhymesayers Entertainment members, Grayskul's album Deadlivers was released on the label in 2005. [10] Mr. Hill produced over half the album, taking on the Moniker "Phanton", while Onry Ozzborn took "Reason" and JFK to "Recluse". [11]
In 2006, he released his first solo album, Snaps. The album features IAME, Boom Bap Project and Onry Ozzborn, among others. [12] The same year he joined Oldominion rapper Barfly and released the album Nite Owls. [13]
The next year, Mr. Hill released his first instrumental album The Darkest Hour via Hal Cush Music. [14]
In 2011, he released the album SMiRK, an instrumental album mixing electronic, jazz and hip hop elements. [15]
