Theron Otis Feemster, also known by the names Ron Feemster or Neff-U, is an American record producer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.
Feemster was born and raised in Grover, North Carolina,[1] where his family was very active in the local non-denominational church, and several family members were musicians.[2] After graduating high school, he studied at Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts.[3] After two-and-a-half years at Berklee, Feemster moved to Los Angeles, where producer Big Chuck heard his rap and R&B demos. Chuck arranged for Feemster to work with him on several projects,[2] with Feemster getting his first cut with rapper Mack 10.[2] Soon later, Dr. Dre consulted him to work on Eminem's 2002 studio album The Eminem Show on which he co-wrote four tracks.[2] Also in 2002, he co-wrote and -produced on "Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head)", which was featured in the film Men in Black II (2002).[4] In 2003, Feemster launched into film composing when he scored the comedy film Death of a Dynasty.[2]
