Hey club, Shasha listeners. We'll be back soon with weekly episodes featuring brand new interviews

with exciting roster guests. Until then, enjoy this special rewind episode with one of my favorite

moments from club, Shasha, so far.

So how old were you when you joined the group and how did the NWA come about?

I was probably about 17 when I joined NWA. We were all in different groups.

Everybody without in a different group, everybody else was doing their own thing. So how did you

decide to come together? Well, a group that that Dre was in called Directincrew Dre and Yellow

was in that group. And they were kind of like they was making the most noise in NWA out of all

of us. The world class, Directincrew, world class, Reckon Crew. So Lonzo who ran the Reckon Crew

really wouldn't let Dre do the hardcore records that he really started to want to do.

So me and Dre started doing mixed tapes and I would do the hardcore wraps on the mixed tapes

talking about the neighborhood. Well, easy, which is Dre's old friend got one of the tapes,

tracked Dre down and was like, yo, you know, I've been hustling on the street. I don't want to flip

some of this money. So I want to start, I want to, I want to have a label and I want to call it

Rufus Records. Okay. And so he had these groups that he was trying to get on Rufus Records,

but he asked me to write a song for him. I wrote a song called Boys in the Hood. And the group

didn't want to do it because it was from New York. So Dre convinced easy to do the song.

So easy and better doing Boys in the Hood, the song. Right. And he was like, we should do

a all-star group. This is what easy say. We should do all-star group. We'll take the best

out of, you know, I'll be easy. We take Dre and Yellow out of the record crew. We'll take Q out of

a group called CIA. Take Q out of that. And then we'll, you know, we just do the site group,

hardcore records. You know, and then you can go back and do, you know, slow jam and whatever
