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.[2] He co-founded the American hip hop production team 808 Mafia with Southside.[3] 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.[4]

Career

Early life and career beginnings

Growing up Luger played percussion for his church and drummed in church bands. His first introduction to music was playing drums for a number of bands at his local church where he learned about beats, measures, BPMS and bars. He then moved on to making music on the Playstation game MTV Music Generator 3, where he started working with turntables. When Luger eventually saved enough money for an Akai MPC 2500 and established the VABP (Virginia Boyz Productionz) production crew with his high school friends, Luger began to to try his hand at making high quality industry hip hop beats.[2][5] After purchasing an MPC 2000 from his uncle, a friend brought Luger a pirated copy of FL Studio, a piece of music production software which he uses to this day. He has also incorporated music production workstations such as Maschine and Pro Tools.[1] In each of his productions, he has become known for using his signature electronic sounding build up effect in the beginning and throughout his productions. The basis for his stage name came from professional wrestler Lex Luger.

Initially spending long days experimenting with Fruity Loops and working every day after school and all day every weekend wasn’t enough to jumpstart Luger's production career. He dropped out of King's Fork High School after the 10th grade to further hone his music production talents when he realized that he was able to produce song length instrumentals at a fast pace.[6] He then started hearing about independent music artists gaining exposure through MySpace and started posting music on that website. Around late 2008, he began cold-emailing his beats to various rappers and posting instrumentals on his Myspace page, hoping to gain further exposure in the hip hop industry. In 2009, a then unknown rapper by the name of Waka Flocka Flame began e-mailing him back. The two later built a relationship on MySpace when Luger began sending Waka beats once every few days.[1] Not knowing the outcome of his career, Luger contemplated a second job stacking boxes in a warehouse to support his production career.[2][7]

Rise to fame

Waka expressed interest in Luger's production style when requested a particularly vicious beat that he wanted to rap over. Waka later requested some more from Luger to which he responded with hundreds more, and eventually Waka Flocka Flame flew him out to Atlanta to work with him. Spending months sequestered in a basement with no internet access in Atlanta working with Waka Flocka Flame, Luger laid much of the production groundwork Waka’s debut album. Not knowing the future outcome of his career, Luger contemplated tallomg a second job stacking boxes in a warehouse to support his production career.[8] After building a relationship with Waka Flocka Flame, he flew Luger out to Atlanta to live to further his music production career. Waka later gained fame and was eventually signed to Bricksquad when his song O Lets Do It became a hit.[9]

Waka Flocka Flame's "Hard in the Paint" was Luger's first instrumental to hit the radio waves and became a hit by May 2010.[2][10] Luger was in Atlanta at the time when he first heard the song playing on the radio. While in Atlanta, Luger got a phone call from Chicago rapper and record producer Kanye West, although he didn't realize who he was talking to for almost 30 minutes. After realizing who it was, Luger agreed to fly to New York City to work with him.[10] He eventually created eight backing beats for West's use, including the beat that eventually became the single H•A•M as well as the bonus cut "See Me Now" for West's 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Luger also got a request from Spiff of SpiffTV who contacted him to get the instrumental track that eventually led Luger to build a relationship with Rick Ross as Ross wanted to do a remix for the song. This led Luger to build a relationship with Rick Ross to which he later produced B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast) and MC Hammer for Ross's 2010 album Teflon Don.[11] After working Ross, Luger achieved a career boost when he began receiving an increase in amounts of followers on Twitter.[12] By June 2010, Luger had landed production placements from rappers Ace Hood, Soulja Boy, Chingy, Sean Garrett, and Fabolous.[2][13]

As Luger's sounded drifted upstream from the mixtape circuit to mainstream hip hop, numerous rappers requested his jackhammer drum and spooky trap synth production style.[14] He then produced tracks for a number of popular rappers including Rick Ross's Teflon Don, Waka Flocka Flame's Flockaveli, Slim Thug's Tha Thug Show and Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne.[15] He then went on to work with a number of other popular rap artists including Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Wale, Fabolous, Juicy J, Soulja Boy, Snoop Dogg and 2 Chainz as well as producing songs for a number of street rappers such as Fat Trel, Lil Scrappy and OJ Da Juiceman.[16] Following his success with Waka Flocka Flame and Rick Ross, Luger then began building a relationship with Juicy J in late 2010 citing him as a musical influence as well as a music industry adviser. He eventually did two RubbaBand Business mixtape collaborations with Juicy J leveraging Luger a career boost as well as to generate buzz to further get Luger's name in the hip hop industry.[17] Luger went on to produce more than 200 songs throughout 2010 and 2011 fueling hit songs by a number of popular rappers as well as number of songs featured on an array of street and underground hip hop mixtapes.[2][18]

Luger was initially affiliated with fellow Brick Squad producer Southside. The two of them and rapper Waka Flocka Flame formed the production team 808 Mafia in 2010, to which he later left the group the following year.[19] During the same year, At the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards, Luger won the award for Producer of the Year.[20]

In early February 2014, Luger joined forces with Canadian DJ/producer A-Trak under the moniker Low Pros, with the intention of releasing a collaborative project.[21] Their first release was "Jack Tripper", a drug-addled trap song featuring Brick Squad affiliates PeeWee Longway and Young Thug, who had just risen to popularity at the time due to the success of his 2013 singles "Stoner" and "Danny Glover".[22]

In late 2014, Luger started touring as a live act. He signed with agent Wilcox Weaver at Oklahoma City and Los Angeles based Warpath Group in September 2014 for worldwide tour bookings. In January 2015, he signed to EXYT Agency for European and Asian tour bookings. Luger has played all over North America and Europe with Australia and Asian dates upcoming in the fall. The set consists of Luger and his DJ, Kino Beats, going back to back and tailing with Luger "hyping" the crowd and partying with his fans. He has had solid success with this endeavor, selling thousands of tickets across the globe. In May 2015, he sold out an entire European tour.[23]
