Darwin Cordale Quinn (born October 7, 1987), professionally known as Lil' C (also known as C-Gutta), is an American hip hop record producer, songwriter and rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He is perhaps best known for producing Atlanta-based rapper Young Dro's 2006 debut single, "Shoulder Lean", which led to a deal with Grand Hustle Records. Quinn is also part of the record production team Smash Factory, alongside frequent collaborator Mars and Grand Hustle label-boss T.I..
Quinn began producing hip hop beats as a means to make money and pay his bills. He embarked on this path at a young age, selling beats to classmates at the high school he attended. At fifteen, he was working in a studio that was housed under Hot 97.6 in Jackson, Mississippi, which is how he made a lot of connections in the music industry early on. In 2003, at the age of 16, Quinn made his first rap appearance on a song called "The Game", with Young Jeezy and Sunny Spoon on the album, Come Shop wit Me. He would later meet Jason Geter, the chief executive officer (CEO) of American rapper T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records. Geter flew Quinn out to Atlanta, Georgia on the day of the "I'm A King", music video shoot. Quinn took his keyboard with and went on to impress Geter with his skills.
