In the mid-2000s, Scott Storch had a strong argument for being on that decade’s Mount Rushmore of hit-making producers. The former Roots keys player was collaborating with certified Hall of Famers Dr. Dre and Timbaland and had amassed an impressive string of his own hits, and a jaw-dropping $70 million empire to show for it.
