From the smoky studios of Ruthless Records to the birth of G-Funk, Hutch has lived the chapters most rap historians only quote. In this episode, he sits down with MC Eiht and Steele to pull back the curtain on:

  • Origin Stories: How Pomona, CA & South Central Los Angeles kids armed with Parliament records and street tales helped redefine West Coast sound.

  • Ruthless Inside Scoop: First-hand memories of Eazy-E, Jerry Heller, and watching Dr. Dre’s creative evolution.

  • The G-Funk Formula: Crafting Livin’ Like Hustlers and the production tricks that sparked a new era as they developed a young rapper and producer: Snoop Doggy Dog & Warren G.

  • Street Politics & Business Moves: Navigating drug dealing, major-label pressure, and sample-clearance nightmares.

  • Legacy Check: Why Above the Law still resonates—and Hutch’s blueprint for tomorrow’s producers.

Whether you’re a day-one ATL fan, a West Coast historian, or just hungry for real game, this convo is a time capsule you can ride to. 🎙️
