Andre Levins (born August 29 1982 Fact|date=July 2008, Hempstead, New York) is an American rapper, also known as A+.

His career began in 1995, when he won a national competition sponsored by Def Jam Records. He was discovered by Kedar Massenburg and was the first artist signed to his label, Kedar Entertainment. In 1996, at the age of 13, A+ released his first album, "The Latch-Key Child", which featured the hit single "All I See". In 1999 he released "Hempstead High".

He scored his biggest hit in 1999, with "Enjoy Yourself" (which used samples from "A Fifth of Beethoven" by Walter Murphy, itself an adaptation of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony), which became an international success.

"Enjoy Yourself" was A+'s only hit in the UK Singles Chart and Germany in which he held the number one spot in the chart for numerous weeks.
