here is a little info that i found on the producer he is working with, i believe his name is 7 Aurelius.
i found this on a hip hop site, here is the url for it http://streetcornerrecords.com/SevenAurelius.asp

"Seven Aurelius learned music in the local Pentecostal church in Lexington, Ky., where his grandfather was a pastor. There he played drums and learned to play several other instruments by ear, including keyboard and bass. In a random meeting in 1994, 7 connected with comedian Jamie Foxx, who happened to be performing in Lexington. Impressed with his beats, Foxx offered to put him up in L.A., prompting 7 to quit his restaurant dishwasher job.

After months there, actor Tyrin Turner(Menace II Society), a personal friend, brought 7 to the attention of Rap-A-Lot CEO James Prince, who used several of his tracks for Scarface's Untouchable and Last of a Dying Breed. However, things went awry when 7's name was initially missing from the credits. So when Irv Gotti approached him at a party and suggested the two work together in the future, a disgruntled 7 didn't think twice.

Seven moved to New York City in 2000, seeing Gotti and his growing Murder lnc. label as another golden opportunity. He began to bust out hits almost instantly (see above). The accolades came flooding in for Gotti's production and Ashanti's songwriting, but 7 was again unrecognized and unfulfilled. After two years, 7 couldn't take it anymore. 'I packed up the penthouse that Irv had me living in and shipped everything back to Kentucky.' He is currently working on other projects including his own debut as a solo artist."


he also has an official website http://www.7aurelius.com/ but seems like it hasn't been updated in quite a while.
