No I.D., de son vrai nom, Ernest Dion Wilson né le à Chicago, dans l'Illinois, est un disc jockey, rappeur, et producteur de hip-hop et RnB américain. Il se fait connaître en travaillant avec le rappeur Common dès le premier album de ce dernier, Can I Borrow A Dollar ? en 1992. No I.D. est en partie à l'origine du hip-hop de Chicago (le Midwest rap), à une époque où seules la West Coast et East Coast se partageaient la vedette du rap américain. Il est même parfois surnommé « The Godfather of Chicago hip hop » (« le parrain du rap de Chicago »).
Il coproduit de nombreux morceaux avec Jermaine Dupri, tels que Turn It Up de Johnta Austin, Let Me Hold You de Bow Wow et Omarion, Smile du G-Unit, ou encore Retrospect for Life de Common et Lauryn Hill. No I.D. est également à l'origine de l'arrivée de Kanye West dans la production hip-hop : alors que ce dernier débutait tout juste, No ID l'invite à une session d'enregistrement en studio avec Common. À cette même époque, il présente Kanye West à Kyambo « Hip Hop » Joshua, qui travaille dans le label Roc-A-Fella Records, pour lancer sa carrière. Kanye West se fit ensuite connaître en produisant pour les artistes de Roc-A-Fella, notamment Jay-Z, puis devient ensuite un artiste à part entière. Il rend d'ailleurs hommage à No I.D. en le citant comme mentor dans plusieurs morceaux : Last Call sur son premier album, The College Dropout, et Big Brother sur Graduation.
En 1997, il publie un album intitulé Accept Your Own and Be Yourself (The Black Album), qu'il produit presque entièrement et sur lequel il rappe également. En 2002, il publie The Sampler, vol. 1, avec le rappeur Dug Infinite. Puis il publie une cassette d'instrumentales, Invisible Beats. En 2007, il coproduit deux morceaux avec Jermaine Dupri pour l'album American Gangster de Jay-Z.
