DJ Muggs (born January 28, 1968), also known as Muggs, is Cypress Hill's DJ and producer. His real name is Lawrence Muggerud. He is Italian-American. He was first a member of 7A3, but their record label soon dropped them. Cypress Hill, whose sound was crafted by Muggs, became one of the most popular and influential hip hop groups of the 21st century. Muggs also performed as a solo artist, and he worked together with Tricky. He produced albums for House of Pain and Funkdoobiest, and produced tracks for artists such as Ice Cube, KRS-ONE, and MC Eiht. Also part of the infamous group, the Soul Assassins, Muggs has his own Sirius satellite radio show on Shade 45 called “Mash-Up Radio.” His most recent work is a collaboration called The Grandmasters with legendary hip-hop artist Genius (GZA), an album that showcases the emcee's lyrical talents over Mugg's trademark hard-hitting, eerie production.

The Grandmasters LP was one of the first two albums released by Angeles Records, a record label formed in 2005 by DJ Muggs and hip-hop duo Self Scientific.
