Since then he’s produced music (and performed with) many well-known artists (Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Britney Spears, Snoop Dog, The Neptunes, NERD, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Shakira, etc, etc, etc), started his own clothing line BBC/Ice Cream (Billionaire Boys Club), collaborated on several entrepreneurial ventures and has had a big impact on style and youth culture.
