B.G. Knocc Out & Gangsta Dre'sta - Real Brothas (1995)

Compton, California
Label: Def Jam/OutBurst Records

In late 1995, Compton natives and half-brothers BG Knocc Out & Dresta released their debut album "Real Brothas" to little fanfare on Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. Recently I have been going through my collection and reviewing some of my favorite albums, trying to steer people towards some underrated hip hop releases. "Real Brothas" shines on multiple levels. While on the surface the duo may just look like another jeri-curled, Compton Crip rap group, Knocc Out and Dresta are two of the toughest, grittiest west coast rappers that I have heard, and despite their young age they come as hard as any, heavy with threats and stories. Musically the production is excellent, graced with the slow rolling, heavy bass, whiny synths, and hard beats of the best g-funk records of the 90s.
