  • In this episode of the Gangster Chronicles podcast we sit down with Compton legend Hi-C. We discuss his start at the Roadium swap meet with Tony A and Steve Yanos. We then talk about DJ Quik's early days and how the crew of Suga Free, 2nd to None, AMG and Mausberg came together.
    We also touch on Black Tone and their infamous standoff at Death Row records
