Grand master lonzo williams god father of west coast hip hop; world class wreckin cru | Lashaun Turner

With the #NWA movie about to drop we had the man who ignited west coast hiphop - a pioneering legend Mr Alonzo Williams. In 1984, Grand Master Lonzo transformed his in-house DJ’s to a group (Wreckin Cru) which consisted of (Cli-N-Tel, Antoine “Yella” Carraby and Andre “Dr. Dre” Young) Lonzo used money generated from Eve After Dark & Dooto’s to finance Kru Cut Records and built a studio inside Eve After Dark. While recording demos for World Class Wreckin Cru he came across Stereo Cru which consisted of O’Shea “Ice Cube Jackson, Tony “Sir Jinx” & K.D. Their first recorded singles were “Surgery” and “Juice”. Both cuts had become electro-rap favorites in the west coast club circuit and sold many copies across the coast.
