As the originator of what is now known as the Oakland Bay Area sound, Al "Baby Jesus" Eaton made his mark early on in his career by producing, engineering and co-writing such hits for Too Short as "Life Is Too Short" & "The Ghetto" and being one of the first to discover the talents of Bay Area super stars E-40 and Master P. His production skills and belief in an (at that time unknown) artist, Master P, helped catapult this artist to world renowned status.
