Rasool Ricardo Elijah Eugene Diaz, (born May 1, 1990) also known as SoolGotHits, is an American songwriter and record producer, best known for co-writing and co-producing Beyoncé's 2013 single "Drunk in Love" from her eponymous fifth album, winning a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song in 2015.[1][2]

Career

Diaz befriended fellow R&B/Hip-Hop producers Andre Eric Proctor and Brian Soko while attending university classes for sound engineering together in Tampa, Florida, and they decided to form production group "The Order" under the tutelage of record producer Detail.[3] Each producer in the group works on their own music independently, before coming together to review and critique each other.[3] After pitching their productions to a number of labels and artists, their first break came when "No Worries", one of their first co-written and co-produced songs, was placed onto Lil' Wayne's 2012 mixtape Dedication 4 and was chosen as a single.
