Polow da Don

Jamal Fincher Jones, professionally known as Polow da Don, is an American record producer, songwriter and rapper. Jones has helped write and produce singles for a multitude of artists, including "Buttons" by The Pussycat Dolls, "Throw Some D's" by Rich Boy, "Love In This Club" by Usher, "Baby By Me" by 50 Cent, "John" by Lil Wayne, and "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj, among others.

Jones left college to pursue a rap career with his group Jim Crow. The group signed to Sony Music Entertainment where they released two albums — Crow's Nest (1999) and Right Quick (2001) — before being dropped. Although disappointed, Jones formed a Southern hip hop group with Bubba Sparxxx, Sean P, Pastor Troy, G Rock, and Timbaland. However, they split up before releasing anything^[1]. Jones started making beats around 2001; his first beat tape made its way to Interscope Records president Jimmy Iovine. The beats were eventually used for the tracks "Runaway Love" by Ludacris, "Buttons", and "This Is the Life" by Tru-Life, among others^[2].

In addition to "Anaconda", Jones has a co-writing credit on the Sing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack's shortened and clean version "OH.MY.GOSH".
