    The Neptunes, Trackmasters, Cool & Dre and other prominent hip hop production groups officially have competition.

    That's because Tha Bizness, a production duo consisting of cousins Dow Jones and Jhen, have officially signed a production deal with G-Unit's Sha Money XL's, Teamwork Music Inc. As a part of the deal, Tha Bizness has already started doing in-house production for 50 Cent, Young Buck, Spider Loc and G-Unit's new acquisition Hot Rod.

    Originally out of Seattle, but now based in Los Angeles, with a relentless work regimen Tha Bizness strongly feels as though they're the next in line of great producers.

    "We're going with the team effort because me and J have different relationships with different people over the years and now we just decided it made more sense to join forces and kill the game," Dow Jones exclusively told Vibe.com. "We both had bad experiences on our own, so we figured keep it family and cut out the outside bullsh*t and ever since then we been cracking. We got a lot of sh*t coming, we hitting all the indie artists and the majors.

    "We're next in the line of great producers. We're coming like the next Neptunes or Cool & Dre." In addition to the aforementioned G-Unit members, Tha Bizness are busy producing for the likes of Lil Scrappy, Ras Kass, Trae, Jody Breeze, Yung Joc, G. Malone, Bishop Lamont and Keak Da Sneak.

    Sha Money XL, of G-Unit Records, is quick to co-sign on Tha Bizness' production skills on the boards.

    "They have managed to make big records without using samples," Sha Money XL told Vibe.com. "When I heard their beats after a while, I told them that they're on to something. Their beats have unique texture and they just make big records."

    Tha Bizness produced two tracks � "Loverboy" and "She Loves Her" � for Hot Rod's debut album. They're also likely to have a track on Young Buck's and 50's respective new albums.
