Bobby F. Ervin (born December 13, 1967), better known by his stage name Bobcat (commonly credited as Bobby "Bobcat" Ervin), is an American record producer, DJ and rapper from Los Angeles, California.
Ervin began his career as a DJ for the Los Angeles-based party crew Uncle Jamm's Army. The group's founder, Roger Clayton, introduced Ervin to the production team L.A. Posse, and Ervin joined the group. L.A. Posse rose to prominence after producing the entirety of LL Cool J's second album Bigger and Deffer in 1987.
