Kevin Lamar McCall Jr. (born July 25, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, and record producer. He is best known for his work with R&B singer Chris Brown, to whom he signed in a joint venture with RCA Records in 2012.

McCall extensively contributed to Brown's discography in the early 2010s through songwriting and production. He guest performed alongside Tyga on Brown's 2010 single "Deuces," as well as his 2011 single "Strip," which peaked at numbers 14 and 37 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. McCall's 2012 debut single, "Naked" (featuring Big Sean) seldom entered the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and he later parted ways with RCA and Brown two years later in favor of an independent career. In the following years, McCall has faced financial difficulties and a public feud with Brown over his contributions to Brown’s songs.
