Early career

Originally from Washington, D.C., Santana was an original member of the rap group CCOC (Cap City Outzyda Clique) and a member of the Junkyard Band. Irv Gotti of Murder Inc. Records heard an independent release by CCOC and, impressed with Santana's production work, brought him into his The Inc. company.

He co-starred with Keyshia Cole in her "I Should Have Cheated" music video as her cheating boyfriend. Santana also appeared as singer Ashanti's love interest in the music video for her single "Don't Let Them".
