No I.D, formerly known as Immenslope (born Ernest Wilson in Chicago, Illinois), is a hip hop and R&B record producer, best known for his early work with Chicago rapper Common (formerly Common Sense). As a co-producer (and sometimes ghost producer) for Jermaine Dupri, No I.D. has worked on hit singles such as "My Boo" by Usher and Alicia Keys, "Let Me Hold You" by Bow Wow featuring Omarion, and "Smile" by G-Unit. No I.D. also introduced Kanye West to hip hop production, inviting him to his sessions with Common when West was only beginning. Kanye cites No I.D. as his mentor in "Last Call."[1]
In 1997, No I.D. released an album under his own name, Accept Your Own and Be Yourself (The Black Album). He and Dug Infinite also put out a two-album package called The Sampler, vol. 1.
