In the early 1990s, he linked up with Bad Boy Entertainment and became their main staff producer, crafting most of the tracks for its first release, Craig Mack's Project: Funk Da World and the label's first major hit, "Flava in Ya Ear." He also produced "Party and Bullshit" for The Notorious B.I.G, the rapper's first single.
Subsequently he produced for both Tupac Shakur and Biggie. He is one of the few producers to have worked with both of them, most notably on the song "Running from the Police" (from the album One Million Strong), recorded in the same session by Tupac, B.I.G., Dramacydal and the Live Squad's Stretch. After producing with Shakur, then based in New York, on the rapper's Me Against the World--including two cut songs, a version of "So Many Tears" and the song "God Bless the Dead" (later found on Greatest Hits), both featuring Stretch--Mo Bee started on Biggie's Ready To Die. His production on both spawned hits and critical acclaim; he continued producing for Biggie on the rapper's second album. Bad Boy CEO Puff Daddyeventually asked to manage Mo Bee and for the producer to join his Hitmen production team; he declined, and Puff severed their ties. Mo Bee also produced the driving hit for Busta Rhymes's The Coming, the song "Everything Remains Raw."
