Domingo Padilla, better known as Domingo, is an American producer[1] from New York of Latin origin. He has produced for some of hip hop's most respected and well-known artists. He is closely associated with Kool G Rap.

Domingo is one of the most prominent[according to whom?] hip hop producers to ever come from East New York, Brooklyn. He has been producing professionally since the age of 17 when hip hop producer Marley Marl took him under his production company “The House of Hits” and mentored Domingo to be who he is today.[citation needed]

In 1997 with the release of the critically acclaimed KRS-One album I Got Next, Domingo accomplished the accolades of gaining his first Gold record from the successful sales of the album. The album sold well over 650,000 copies worldwide.

In 1998 Domingo had a further accomplishment of gaining his first Platinum record from the sales on the Big Pun Capital Punishment album. In the same year Domingo was nominated for both American and Latin Grammys for his production work on the Big Pun album, which sold 2.3 million copies worldwide.[citation needed]

Domingo released his first proper studio album in 1999, titled Behind The Doors Of The 13th Floor. The album featured Eminem, KRS-One, MC Shan and others. In 2003 Domingo released his second album The Difference, which featured The Beatnuts, Dilated Peoples, High N Mighty and others. The Difference had the Domingo-produced song by KRS-One entitled "Clear Em Out" which sparked the "beef" between Krs One and St Louis rapper Nelly.[citation needed] In 2007 Domingo released his third studio album The Most Underrated. It features Big Daddy Kane, Joell Ortiz, Canibus, Termanology, Immortal Technique, The Beatnuts, Kool G Rap, Brother Ali, and others.

Domingo resurfaced with a new album in 2014 entitled Same Game New Rules, which features Kool G Rap, KRS-One, R.A. the Rugged Man, Sean Price, M.O.P., Prodigy, Chris Rivers (Big Pun's son), Hell Razah, Ras Kass, AZ, Necro, Action Bronson, Sadat X, Rahzel and more.[2] Also in December 2014 Domingo released an EP dedicated to the memory of rapper Big Pun entitled Bronx Legends Never Die. The EP was highly regarded[by whom?] as a classic EP.

In 2015 Domingo took the reins as a promoter and created the company That's Hip Hop LLC and put on two sold-out concerts in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He also won an ASCAP Rhythm & Blues award for his participation in the Drake song "All Me". In October 2015 Domingo got Brooklyn rapper Joell Ortiz to do an album with him to be released thru That's Hip Hop in first quarter 2016. Domingo will be releasing his first book in paperback and E-Book entitled Beats For The Rhymes - My Life and Hip Hop in summer 2016.

March of 2016 brought the first release from Domingo and Joell Ortiz entitled "That's Hip Hop - Joell Ortiz" the album was a collaborative effort that featured a well blended mix of featured artists and songs.

Following the successful release of the Joell Ortiz project Domingo released the first in a 2 part series of animated Hip hop videos for the song entitled "Kill At Will" off the Joell Ortiz project which featured young hip hop prodigy Token and the song gained massive worldwide attention in hip hop. The song also grabbed to attention of Hip Hop legend Big Daddy Kane who contacted Domingo and suggested they do a remix of the song with him added onto it as one of the artists. Domingo agreed and added Chris Rivers (Son of Big Pun) along with Snow Tha Product. The song was now entitled "Kill At WIll:The Final Chapter". Domingo consulted with animator Matt Cassero who animated and directed the first video and they went on to create the epic video for "Kill At Will:The Final Chapter" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spvoZd8NQps.
