Over the past decade in r&b, the terms Harvey Mason Jr. and The Underdogs have been synonymous with hit records. Even the most casual r&b fan is sure to have heard of the Underdogs, and if they haven’t, the odds are very good they produced one of their favorite songs. Harvey Mason Jr., one half of the production duo, was groomed by Darkchild and has gone a long way to live up to his mentor’s legacy; one hit song at a time. As great admirers of the music he’s helped to create over the years, we’re excited to bring you this exclusive interview with one of r&b’s elite producers. Harvey took the time to discuss with us how he originally got his start under Darkchild, how the Underdogs were originally formed, his process for creating music with artists, the history behind some of his biggest production credits, his hiatus from the Underdogs, coming back together to work on Chris Brown’s “F.A.M.E.” album, what’s next, and more.
