History
Following the dissolution of Low Profile, rapper WC established this group, which released two albums: Ain't a Damn Thang Changed in 1991 and Curb Servin' in 1995. These records featured prominent tracks such as "Dress Code", "West Up!", and "The One".
Subsequently, WC departed to create the gangsta rap collective Westside Connection alongside Ice Cube and Mack 10. Meanwhile, WC and Crazy Toones maintained their collaboration under Ice Cube's Lench Mob Records label.
DJ Crazy Toones passed away at age 45 on January 9, 2017, due to a heart attack.
On September 28, 2022, Coolio died from an apparent heart attack, which was later determined to be an accidental overdose involving fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamine.
