Lawrence Muggerud (born January 28, 1968), better known by his stage name DJ Muggs, is Cypress Hill's DJ and producer. He also produced tracks for Funkdoobiest, House of Pain, Dizzee Rascal, U2, Depeche Mode and more. He is the leader of LA art collective Soul Assassins.
Muggs was born in Queens, New York of Italian descent, but was adopted into a Norwegian family. He moved to Los Angeles at age fourteen, and got his start DJ'ing for hip hop group The 7A3, who put out one album in 1988 before disbanding.
He has one daughter, named Francisca.
After linking up with B-Real and Sen Dog to form the group Cypress Hill, he went on to produce seven studio albums with the group from 1991 to 2004. Of the seven, four reached platinum status, and three gold. Meanwhile, he scored hits on the side with Ice Cube's "Check Yo Self" and House of Pain's "Jump Around." During Cypress Hill's early years, DJ Muggs met The Alchemist and his Dilated Peoples brethren on tour, deciding to take the young producer under his wing, providing a jump-start for his career.
Look who do I have to have
And why? A city's child
Real mode, you have to talk about it
An old pro, still we're 'bout it, 'bout it
Don't frown about it
It's best you keep quiet
You could never lead a riot
Money don't make you a leader
Leaders usually reads
Go read a book
He shaked then he shook
I need that crack, I need that crack
You're swingin' the pipe
Do what you like, goin' doom doom
Reflect on the room, reflect on your life
Go stab yourself with a knife
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Vengeance isn't mine
We're taught to hate from time
Time isn't real
How much time can you kill?
Luca Brazzi
He sleeps with the fishes
Fuck Sugar and Spice
And girls with deadly kisses
Purr like a cat
Raising towers
I go over her house
For the most
I got diamonds on suits
A girl's erased diamonds with new shoes
Remember Hollywood?
You could finally make deals
Screamin', nigger you can get these
Stereotypical
Almost mythical
Like Mickey Mouse
I'll blow down your house
Blow up your whole image
Hardcore musicians with image
Love
You're silver screen
You're a hardcore lovin' machine
You play hardcore with me
And sooner or later we'll see
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
Reflect on your life
Time isn't real
How much time
Can you kill?
