Sir Jinx is an American hip-hop record producer and rapper from South Central Los Angeles, California.

Sir Jinx was part of the group C.I.A. alongside Ice Cube and K-Dee (known then as Kid Disaster) and appeared on their 1987 release, My Posse. Through his friendship with Jinx, Ice Cube came into contact with Dr. Dre and became a part of N.W.A. When Cube left N.W.A and Ruthless Records over a financial dispute, Sir Jinx went with Cube, producing & mixing on Cube's first album.

Sir Jinx's first major project came in 1990, when he produced alongside the Bomb Squad on Ice Cube's solo debut, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted. He handled all the production on the track "Once Upon A Time In The Projects", while also contributing production to all of the 15 other tracks. Sir Jinx was instrumental in Cube's 1991 EP Kill at Will, composing, producing and mixing all of the tracks.

Sir Jinx would make an appearance on the Boyz n the Hood soundtrack. "How To Survive In South Central" was performed by Ice Cube and produced by Jinx. The soundtrack was very successful, making it to #12 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Top R&B Albums chart. It was later certified gold by the RIAA on September 12, 1991.

Cube stepped back a bit from his role in the production, and Sir Jinx produced much of Cube's next three albums, Death Certificate (1991), The Predator (1992), and Lethal Injection (1993), as well as rapper Yo-Yo's first two albums, Make Way for the Motherlode and Black Pearl.
