Lex Luger (record producer)
Lexus Arnel Lewis (born March 6, 1991) professionally known as Lex Luger, is an American record producer and songwriter from Suffolk, Virginia currently based in Atlanta. He is signed to 1017 Brick Squad Records and Brick Squad Monopoly. In addition, he co-founded the American hip hop production team 808 Mafia with Southside. Luger is also a member of the hip hop production duo Low Pros with A-Trak and the VABP (Virginia Boyz Productionz), a production group that he founded back in high school.
Luger's austere and utilitarian trap sound has been well known for his heavy use of hard hitting 808's, crisp snare drums, frantic synthesizers, sinister and rhythmic Danny Elfman-like bombastic ominous orchestration of synthesized brass, stringed, woodwind, and keyboard instruments commonly incorporated throughout his productions.
Career
2005–09: Early life and career beginnings
Luger started his career by playing drums and learning about beats, measures, and bars. He started experimenting with an MPC 2000 that he bought from his uncle and finally began using the PC-based digital audio workstation Fruity Loops, which he uses to this day. However, he has also incorporated music production workstations such as Maschine and Pro Tools. In each of his productions, he has become known for using his signature electronic sounding "build-up" in the beginning and throughout his productions, usually before the beat drops. The basis for his stage name came from professional wrestler Lex Luger. During high school, he also founded his own hip hop production crew with his friends, the VABP (Virginia Boyz Productionz).

Throw Up
by: Red FangIf it's blood that you need to make the pills go down,
I will spill the blood
If the flies that you eat are tasting twice as sweet,
they came from rotting meat
If the skin on your teeth is drawing thin like a leaf,
and you are feeling weak
You can thank me
[CHORUS:]
You say what you gotta say, I know
Feel the pain that you feel today, I know
It's a puzzle that we figure out
Take the hate and you spit it out
Take what's left and you let it in, let it in
Now the scum from the creek is filling up your cheeks,
and you can hardly speak
While the bones in your brain grind themselves away,
they will make you sane
If the steps of your path reflect your building wrath,
they will be your last
And you can thank me
[CHORUS]
Got all the symptoms of decay
You see disease and look away
Begin the swarming from the caves
Burning the fields of amber waves
Raising the dead up from the grave
