Larry J. Sanders[1] (born December 2, 1960), known professionally as L.V. (an acronym for "Large Variety"),[2] is an American singer. He is best known for his collaboration with rapper Coolio on the single "Gangsta's Paradise". He has released five solo albums and was a member of the gangsta rap group South Central Cartel since it formed, usually singing the choruses.[citation needed] In 2019, L.V. was featured by NBC News after the Los Angeles Police Department designated him as a gang member or associate for the purposes of a heavily criticized database.[3]
