DJ Nasty & LVM are an American record production duo, composed of brothers DJ Nasty (Johnny David Mollings) and LVM (Leonardo V. Mollings). They are best known for working with urban-music artists, including Blood Raw, Ace Hood, DJ Khaled, Plies, Ludacris, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Brisco, Flo Rida, Rick Ross, Birdman, 8Ball & MJG, Juelz Santana, Cam'Ron, Fat Joe, Pitbull and Chingy. Their major influences in producing come from The Neptunes, Pete Rock, The Runners, Drumma Boy, DJ Toomp and Dr. Dre.
Since 1999, the duo has produced hits including Lil Wayne's "I'm Me", Plies's "#1 Fan", featuring J. Holiday and Keyshia Cole, Ludacris's "Grew Up A Screw Up", featuring Young Jeezy, and 8Ball & MJG's "Relax and Take Notes".
DJ Nasty and LVM were both born in Cuba, and came to the United States in 1978 due to their father being in the Navy and "wanted a change in scenery", states Nasty. DJ Nasty early on met DJ Khaled and another associate named Ceaser and started Hitmen Productions. They were doing local house parties and renting out halls, and soon started to make a big name for themselves in Orlando, Florida. The group eventually broke up due to DJ Khaled moving to New Orleans, Louisiana, with his parents because they owned a clothing store there. Today, Khaled and Ceaser are still good friends with Nasty. DJ Nasty & DJ Khaled have a management company "We The Best Management" which houses the super producers The Runners.
