Thomas and Compton were former PeeJay Watts Crips and Thomas had helped to organize a truce between Crips and Bloods in Watts, Los Angeles in 1992.

Together, they released their only studio album Real Brothas, in August 1995, which peaked at #128 on the Billboard 200. In 1996, the album Murder Squad Nationwide was released including Dresta and his brother B.G. Knocc Out along with other West Coast rap artists at the time.

After B.G. Knocc Out’s incarceration in 1998, Dresta worked with Death Row Records and appeared on two tracks from Death Row’s Too Gangsta for Radio compilation, but never actually signed to the record label.

Thomas and Wicker were subsequently hospitalized in Martin Luther King, Jr. Multi-Service Ambulatory Care Center, where Thomas was pronounced dead.

Compton was wounded in the arm and treated at St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood.

While Dresta was serving his five-year sentence, he started writing lyrics and rapping, gaining some notoriety. Within months of Dresta’s release, he and B.G. Knocc Out signed to Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records and made their debut on Eazy’s 1993 multi-platinum EP It’s On (Dr. Dre) 187 Killa on the single “Real Muthaphuckkin G’s” (which was censored to “Real Compton City G’s” in order to garner MTV and radio airplay).
