He served as a producer on albums by Phat Kat, Proof, Elzhi, Pumpkinhead, Marv Won, J Dilla, Danny Brown, and Quelle Chris among others.

Career.
Buchanan grew up in Lathrup Village. He went to Southfield-Lathrup High School and Eastern Michigan University.
He was a resident deejay at the hip hop staple St. Andrews Hall from 1994–2004. He worked at a number of record stores, including Melodies &amp; Memories, Street Corner Music and later also worked as a manager for Fat Beats.
As a DJ, Buchanan has toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe with artists Guilty Simpson, Illa J, Exile, Aloe Blacc, Percee P, Phat Kat, Slum Village and Elzhi, to name a few, as well as on his own. But he has garnered the respect of acts far outside the scope of Detroit hip-hop. Most recently, Buchanan performed as tour DJ on Mayer Hawthorne &amp; The County's Spring 2010 16-city headlining tour.
House Shoes founded Street Corner Music in 2013.
