Shondrae Crawford, better known as Bangladesh, is an American record producer and DJ who was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa, and now lives in Atlanta, Georgia.[1] He began producing beats in 1998[2], but his first big break did not come until 2000 for his production of Ludacris' hit single, What's Your Fantasy, who he then worked with many times after.[3] He is recently known for working with Lil Wayne, producing one of his biggest singles - A Milli[4]. He chose the name Bangladesh because he describes his sample-free, keyboard centric production style as "Bangladesh. It's just Bangladesh. It's foreign to the ears."[5] In the beginning of most of his songs, you can hear an almost robotic voice saying "Bangladesh". Crawford is known for using heavy basses in his productions.
