Polow-Freache Jamal Fincher Jones (born January 1, 1978), known by his stage name Polow da Don, is an American singer and record producer. He rose to fame in late 2005 and early 2006 through hit singles by artists including Ludacris, Will Smith, Chris Brown, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Fergie, Rich Boy, Kelis, Nas, Usher, Nelly, Pussycat Dolls and Mario. Many of his songs he produces feature the signature lines "1,2,3,4!", "Get money!" and "Wait a minute, motherfucker!"

Polow was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. His mother was born in Japan . As a teenager in the mid-1990s, Polow listened to groups such as UGK, the Geto Boys, and 8Ball & MJG. His younger sister, Karesha, helped him learn how to play the keyboards and use MPC equipment. Polow played football and basketball for the Mount Vernon Christian Academy prep school. After earning good grades, he enrolled in Morehouse College. While halfway through a bachelor's degree in accounting, he left college to pursue a rap career with his group Jim Crow. The group signed to Sony Records in 1999 where they released two albums—Crow's Nest (1999) and Right Quick (2001)—before being dropped. Although disappointed, Polow formed a Southern hip hop group with Bubba Sparxxx, Sean P, Pastor Troy, G Rock, and Timbaland. However, they also split up without any releases. Polow started making beats around 2001. His first beat tape made its way to Interscope Records president Jimmy Iovine. The beats were eventually used for the tracks "Runaway Love" by Ludacris, "Buttons" by the Pussycat Dolls, and "This Is the Life" by Tru-Life, among others.

Polow Da Don gained fame as a producer being featured on Rich Boy's debut single "Throw Some D's. Since then, he has produced for Keri Hilson, Chris Brown, Fergie, Ciara, Pussycat Dolls, Usher, Lloyd, and among others. He has produced four tracks for Nelly off his album Brass Knuckles. He is set to produce for Lloyd Banks.
