As an electronics wizard for
Hank Shocklee and the Bomb Squad,
Eric "Vietnam" Sadler became an invaluable ingredient to the success of rap group
Public Enemy. Known for his thorough knowledge of drum machines and techniques,
Sadler first met
Shocklee and
Public Enemy frontman
Chuck D while he was renting rehearsal space for bands in a Long Island house. After sequencing Public Enemy's successful debut
Yo! Bum Rush the Show and helping to develop PE's hard-edged sound,
Sadler moved on to production work with some of rap and r&b's most popular performers including
Slick Rick,
Chaka Khan and
LL Cool J. Setting up Street Elements Productions
Sadler also worked on albums by
Sister Souljah and
Jody Watley.
Sadler remains a successful and reputable producer within the hip-hop and r&b communities. ~ Steve Kurutz
