KLC is a rap producer from the Third Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana. He found fame as a member of No Limit Records' Beats By the Pound, and since leaving the label has been the leader of the Medicine Men, consisting of the same producers as the original Beats by the Pound, as well as some new talent. Along with Mannie Fresh, KLC is arguably one of the most important producers in New Orleans Rap and in Southern Rap.

KLC has worked with numerous artists and is credited for having discovered several prominent rappers, including Mystikal and Soulja Slim [ [http://www.allhiphop.com/features/?ID=1141 AllHipHop interview] ] .

Juelz Santana's appearance on Paul Wall's "I'm Real, What Are You?" is one of the few occasions a New York rapper appeared on a KLC-produced track.

Craig S. Lawson grew up in the Melpomene projects, and then moved to a house off the Parkway in Uptown New Orleans. Craig's father was a saxophonist, and Craig took up music as well. Nicknamed the Drum Major even before he joined the band at Green Middle School, Craig became attached to the cadences of a marching band's snare- the sound would later influence his beats.
