“Once Upon A Time In Compton.”
Much has been rumored, whispered and speculated on when it comes to the true origins of the west coast rap scene and the roots of gangsta’ rap. A hotbed of activity, spawning the likes of NWA, Easy E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and most recently the Game, the chart topping contributions from the west dominated the hip hop scene. The west once ruled. There is a story behind every story, however, and Lonzo Williams, long recognized as the Godfather of West Coast Rap is now, for the first time revealing his. Lonzo was the creator of the World Class Wreckin’ Crew, the group that directly preceded the birth of N.W.A., and gave us such eternal hits as “Turn Off The Lights,” “Cabbage Patch” and “Dr. Dre to Surgery.” He is now unveiling his storehouse of flyers, photos, and original VHS footage in the Dub-Kris Media DVD release, “Once Upon A Time In Compton.”
