As an electronics wizard for Hank Shocklee and the Bomb Squad, Eric "Vietnam" Sadler became an invaluable ingredient to the success of rap group Public Enemy. Known for his thorough knowledge of drum machines and techniques, Sadler first met Shocklee and Public Enemy frontman Chuck D while he was renting rehearsal space for bands in a Long Island house. After sequencing Public Enemy's successful debut Yo! Bum Rush the Show and helping to develop PE's hard-edged sound, Sadler moved on to production work with some of rap and r&b's most popular performers including Slick Rick, Chaka Khan and LL Cool J. Setting up Street Elements Productions Sadler also worked on albums by Sister Souljah and Jody Watley. Sadler remains a successful and reputable producer within the hip-hop and r&b communities. ~ Steve Kurutz, Rovi
