Shondrae Lee Crawford (born March 13, 1978), known professionally as Bangladesh, is an American record producer, songwriter, and rapper from Des Moines, Iowa. He has been credited with production work on the Billboard Hot 100-top 40 singles "What's Your Fantasy" by Ludacris, "A Milli" and "6 Foot 7 Foot" by Lil Wayne, "Diva" by Beyoncé, "Break Up" by Mario, and "Bossy" by Kelis.[2] A two-time Grammy nominee, Crawford has also worked with Usher, Nicki Minaj, Brandy, Rihanna and Ciara, among others.[3][4][5][6][7][8]

In 2010, Crawford sued Lil Wayne over unpaid royalties stemming from "A Milli"; the lawsuit was settled amicably in 2012.[9][10][11][12] Crawford established an eponymous record label in 2015, through which he signed fellow Midwestern producer Harv.[13]
