Early Life and Background
DJ Nasty and LVM were both born in Cuba, and came to the United States in 1978 due to their father being in the Navy and "wanted a change in scenery", states Nasty. DJ Nasty early on met DJ Khaled and another associate named Ceaser and started Hitmen Productions. They were doing local house parties and renting out halls, and soon started to make a big name for themselves in Orlando, Florida. The group eventually broke up due to DJ Khaled moving to New Orleans, Louisiana, with his parents because they owned a clothing store there. Today, Khaled and Ceaser are still good friends with Nasty. DJ Nasty & DJ Khaled have a management company "We The Best Management" which houses the super producers The Runners.
DJ Nasty's first track was actually Krayzie Bone's "Thug Alwayz" on Krayzie's Thug Mentality 1999 (1999). But DJ Nasty is not too fond of that record, and actually considers the beat he did for Fat Joe "The Wild Life" to be his true first track. LVM started out doing a record for 95 South called "Cheer For Me" which can be heard on the Bring It On soundtrack, as well as numerous remixes for the likes of Jordan Knight and Shaquille O'Neal. LVM dabbled in the pop market producing "Baby Be Mine" for pop group L.F.O.
Success started to take off when DJ Nasty befriended DTP's Co-CEO Chaka Zulu and landed a few placements with Ludacris in 2003 for his Chicken-n-Beer album's "Southern Fried Intro". DJ Nasty & LVM have formed Nasty Beatmakers Productions, and has signed up-and-coming producers The Inkredibles (Ace Hood's "Ride" and Young Jeezy's "Vacation") to the fold, and are actively looking for new talent.

Famous quotes containing the words early life, early, life and/or background:
“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“The secret of heaven is kept from age to age. No imprudent, no sociable angel ever dropt an early syllable to answer the longings of saints, the fears of mortals. We should have listened on our knees to any favorite, who, by stricter obedience, had brought his thoughts into parallelism with the celestial currents, and could hint to human ears the scenery and circumstance of the newly parted soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My life has been one long descent into respectability.”
—Mandy Rice-Davies (b. 1944)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
