Carl Morgan (born 1981) is a former record producer of the rap group So Solid Crew. In October 2005, he was sentenced to 30 years for murder.

He was tried before a jury for the murder of 24-year-old Colin Scarlett in Tooting, South London, in November 2004.[1][2] Colin Scarlett, the partner of Morgan's ex-girlfriend (who has two children by Morgan), had beaten Morgan up earlier on the day of the murder. Morgan returned with a gun and shot Scarlett.

The judge recommended that Morgan should spend at least 30 years in prison before being considered for parole, a recommendation that is expected to keep him behind bars until at least 2034 and the age of 53.[3]

The jury failed to reach a verdict on the same charge faced by So Solid Crew rapper Dwayne Vincent ('Megaman'), who faced a retrial in March 2006 where the jury was discharged before a verdict could be reached.[4] A second retrial began in September 2006, and on 28 September Vincent was found not guilty of murder at the Old Bailey.[5]

Morgan appeared in So Solid Crew's video for the track "21 Seconds".[6]
