The Olympicks


The Olympicks is an American hip-hop record production and songwriting group that was formed in 2009, and is currently composed of members J-Fab and Knoxville. The group originated in Detroit, Michigan and have been involved in the production of various projects within the hip-hop music industry, including Lil Wayne's I Am Not a Human Being, Rick Ross' Teflon Don, Triple C's Custom Cars & Cycles, DJ Khaled's Kiss The Ring, and Big Sean's Detroit mixtape.

History

In the mid-2000s, each member of the collective had established himself as part of Michigan's independent music scene. Knoxville and J-Fab gained national recognition following the success of Jim Jones’ Summer Wit’ Miami - produced by Knoxville. J-Fab was selected to produce on former Shady Records artist Stat Quo's debut album, Statlanta.
The goal of The Olympicks’ partnership was to create a “one-stop shop” that could cater to the production needs of any artist or project based on the different qualities of each member. Knoxville is considered to be the team's “crate-digger,” and produces a sound which tends to incorporate soul samples and breakbeats. J-Fab's production technique also makes heavy utilization of record samples, but uses more pop and techno influences to create various sounds across multiple genres. Finally, Flawless crafts universal R&B/Pop beats that are prevalent in today's mainstream music.
The Olympicks have worked with both established mainstream artists as well as local and underground artists. The group was involved in Big Sean's early career, as they produced the single, "Bullshittin". They also have a relationship with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group and recently signed a song production deal with Young Money Entertainment and Cash Money Records. They also produced "Out Of This World" for A$AP Rocky's mixtape, LiveLoveA$AP.
