Taylor is known for his appearance in the film Breakin' alongside Ice-T. Taylor is credited on "Phone Tap" (Nas) as producer. Other production credits include "Reckless" (Ice T & Dave Storrs) "Tibetan Jam" (Chris "the Glove" Taylor) "Go Off" (Ice T & Dave Storrs) "Itchiban Scratch" (Chris "the Glove" Taylor.)
