Battlecat Producing A Beat

Kevin Gilliam, better known as DJ Battlecat (or just Battlecat), is best known for his contributions to west coast style productions. His track record includes some of the top artist in the music industry like Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Tha Eastsidaz along with other west coast rappers.

His musical progressions are strongly influenced by the early '90s G-Funk sound pioneered by artists like Dr. Dre and DJ Quik. This style can be characterized by growling bass synthesizers and soulful keyboard chords.
