They are best known for producing the hit single \"Hustlin'\", by rapper Rick Ross. They have also produced songs for artists like Fat Joe, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones and Lil Wayne. They are currently working on songs for Danity Kane, Day26, Jadakiss, T.I., Young Jeezy, Trey Songz, Christina Milian ,and Mariah Carey.

A trademark of their production style so far has been to sample slowed-down, repeated vocals for a song's hook. The chorus to Rick Ross's \"Hustlin'\" includes the lines \"Everyday I'm hustlin'\" and \"Real hard\" repeated several times, and the chorus to Jim Jones's \"Reppin' Time\" includes \"When it's reppin' time\" and \"Dip-Dip-Dipset\" repeated in the same manner. They also include a bass pattern followed by the sound of \"AHHH\" like something refreshing. It is predominantly heard at the beginning of every song they produce. Other examples of repeating vocals on a songs hook are on the song \"Where Da Cash At\" by Currency featuring Lil Wayne & Remy Ma. And \"Money On My Mind\" by Lil' Wayne. Also, they seem to have a strange formula. Three Def Jam artists have had beats done by them, with a hook from R. Kelly.

The starting charging rate per song is $15,000.

They also have their own label, Trac-N-Field Entertainment.
