Chris Taylor (born May 22, 1962), also known by his monikers The Glove, DJ Glove, and ChrisGlove, is best known as a DJ and producer on the West Coast hip hop scene in the 1980s and 1990s. Taylor is known for his appearance in the film Breakin' alongside Ice-T. Taylor is credited on "Phone Tap" (The Firm) as producer. Other production credits include "Reckless" (Ice T & Dave Storrs), "Tibetan Jam" (Chris "the Glove" Taylor), "Go Off" (Ice T & Dave Storrs), and "Itchiban Scratch" (Chris "the Glove" Taylor). Taylor produced "Stranded on Death Row" and "Doggy Dogg World" on the genre-defining albums The Chronic and Doggystyle, and also claims to have written/produced the tracks for "Xxplosive" (Dr. Dre) and "Hello" (NWA), though uncredited.[1] Other sources name Taylor as an engineer, mixer and musician on The Chronic.[2]

Taylor collaborated with Ice-T to record several electro-influenced records, including the 1984 single "Reckless".
