Fredwreck (of Palestinian descent, born Farid Nassar in Flint, Michigan) is a hip-hop producer, mostly for West Coast acts. He got his big break when he became a producer for Snoop Dogg's record label Dogghouse Records (now Doggystyle Records) and became a known producer on Tha Dogg Pound-affiliated material. He has produced tracks from Kurupt's Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha and most of his next release, ; both released during the period the rapper had left Death Row. He has also produced for some non West Coast artists such as Obie Trice also from Michigan
