”’Tha Bizness”’ (J-Hen & Dow Jones), is an [[United States|American]] [[Hip-hop music|hip-hop]] [[record producers|production]] group from [[Seattle]], [[Washington]].

==Biography==
Born and raised in [[Seattle]], [[Washington]], the production duo, who are cousins, were inspired by artists such as [[Teddy Riley (producer)|Teddy Riley]], [[DJ Premier]], [[Mannie Fresh]] and [[DJ Toomp]]. Upon graduating with a degree in Business Management from Morehouse College in Atlanta, ”’Dow”’ returned to Seattle, searching for the opportunity in music, while putting his degree to good use. Ultimately it was his biggest influence, a member of the original Rock Steady Crew, that allowed Dow to see deejaying as an actual art form, inspiring him to launch a career in music. J-Hen however, had been focusing more on being a keyboardist and producer. Realizing they had reached a certain level in Seattle that couldn’t be surpassed, they decided to take their career’s to the next level relocating to Los Angeles in 2002. Determined to start their own production company the two worked together combining Dow’s techniques as a deejay and J-Hen’s talent on the keyboards.<ref name=’Hip Hop DX’>{{cite web |url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/features/id.971/title.producers-corner-tha-bizness/p.2 |title=Producer’s Corner: Tha Bizness |publisher=Dork Magazine |date=2007-12-16 |accessdate=2008-10-01}}</ref>

In 2006, Tha Bizness signed a production deal with [[G-Unit|G-Unit’s]] [[Sha Money XL|Sha Money XL’s]], ”Teamwork Music Inc”.

{{cquote|”We’re going with the team effort because me and J have different relationships with different people over the years and now we just decided it made more sense to join forces and kill the game. We both had bad experiences on our own, so we figured keep it family and cut out the outside bullshit and ever since then we been cracking. We got a lot of shit coming, we hitting all the indie artists and the majors. We’re next in the line of great producers. We’re coming like the next Neptunes or Cool & Dre.”<ref name=’Vibe Magazine’>{{cite web |url=http://www.vibe.com/news/news_headlines/2006/07/tha_bizness_production_duo_signs_deal_with_gunits_sha_money_xl/ |title=Tha Bizness Production Duo Inks Deal With G-Unit’s Sha Money XL |publisher=Vibe Magazine |date=2006-7-20 |accessdate=2008-10-01}}</ref>}}
