Dana Stinson (born 2 February 1971), better known by his stage name Rockwilder, is an American hip hop record producer from Queens, New York. Rockwilder made his debut in 1993, and went on to produce many songs for numerous East Coast hip hop artists during the 1990s and early 2000s. A longtime friend of Redman, Rockwilder has produced at least one track on every one of Redman's albums since 1994's Dare Iz a Darkside. He has produced songs for artists including Organized Konfusion, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, Nas, Ice Cube and De La Soul.
After a string of pop-chart hits, Rockwilder's output has slowed down and in recent years has been giving his beats almost exclusively to longtime friends. He has founded his own production company, Muzic Park Entertainment.
