Battlecat or DJ Battlecat (real name Kevin Gilliam) is a rap music producer best known for producing Snoop Dogg and his affiliates (Kurupt, Tha Eastsidaz, Doggy's Angels, Xzibit), along with a number of other West Coast rappers. His aesthetic is a progression from the early-'90s G-funk sound pioneered by Dr. Dre, characterized by fat synth bass lines and soulful keys. Some of his productions - Snoop Dogg's "Stacey Adams", E-40's "Nah, Nah...," Xzibit's "Been a Long Time" - draw on soul music influences. He is also a former member of the group World Class Wreckin' Cru.
