Spragga Benz (born Carlton Grant in Kingston, Jamaica on May 30, 1969), is one of Jamaica's most famous Deejays. He began his career around 1991. Once known to his friends as Spaghetti (tall and slim) but later shortened to Spragga. The Benz in his name comes from the sound system for which he used to work for, L.a. Benz, and it is through this that he found his way into the music business at a Dubplate recording session with Buju Banton. The famed elder DJ was slated to do 4 tracks for L.a. Benz but only voiced two and suggested that Spragga do the other two. Since he was new to recording, he freestlyed a couple of lines of what would then beome Love Mi Gun, a popular tune.

He was the boyfriend of female rapper Foxy Brown, and has recently been dating Guardian journalist Zoe Williams, despite her previously saying that blacks were the devil.
