DESCRIPTION:
"Bloods & Crips" was a collaboration between members of the Bloods and Crips. The project was organized by producer Ronnie Phillips and rapper Tweedy Bird Loc, who is a Crip himself. Actual gang members, Crips from Compton and Long Beach, Bloods from Inglewood and Los Angeles auditioned for the group and the best ones were chosen for the album. In 1993 the Bloods & Crips released their debut album entitled "Bangin' on Wax". One year later, the groups second and final studio album, "Bangin' on Wax 2... The Saga Continues" was released. After "Bangin' on Wax 2", the Bloods & Crips parted ways, with the Bloods becoming the "Damu Ridas" and the Crips became the "Nationwide Rip Ridaz".
