Who is Scott Storch?

So chances are if you have been feelin the hip-hop and r&b jams playing on the radio, in clubs, and MTV in the past two to three years you probably nodded your head and leaned back to a song or two produced by Scott Storch. Like his hit making counterpart Jazze Pha [he of Ciara fame] Storch likes to shout his name from time to time on his own tracks. [See Chris Brown's Run It and Gimme That] Now putting a face to the name with producers ain't too hard, I know what Timbaland looks like, same goes with Dr. Dre, Dallas Austin, Rodney Jerkins, and even Rick Rubin. But for the life of me I had no idea who this Storch guy was. I had to see what this crazy beatsmith looked like, especially once I reviewed his "list of achievements" and realized many of my 'oh my god that is my jam! Turn that shit up' songs were produced by him. Check it out:

dr dre - still dre
xzibit - x
50 cent feat. olivia - candy shop
50 cent - just a lil bit
terror squad - lean back
lil kim - lighters up

So who is this guy comin with it across the board with just about everybody in the hip-hop and r&b arena? Look below. I'll give you a hint, it's not the guy in the camoflague t-shirt.
