DJ PoohThe L.A. Posse is a former American hip hop record production team. They first rose to prominence in 1987 when Def Jam founder Russell Simmons signed them to produce LL Cool J's album "Bigger and Deffer".

The team was made up of Dwayne "Muffla" Simon, Darryl "Big Dad" Pierce, Bobby "Bob Cat" ErvIn and Mark "DJ Pooh" Jordan.

Bigger and Deffer was a huge success and led to L.A. Posse producing albums for Whodini, The Real Roxanne and LL Cool J's next LP, "Walking With a Panther". During this period, Muffla also co-wrote the Run-D.M.C.'s single "Beats to the Rhyme".

In 1989, the L.A. Posse left Def Jam and signed with Atlantic Records, producing the album, "The Young Son of No One", by Breeze, which yielded the charting rap single "L.A. Posse". Following this, the group recorded their own album, "They Come in All Colors", in 1991.
