LBC Crew

The LBC Crew was an American hip-hop trio from Long Beach, California, formed in the mid-1990s by rappers Bad Azz (Jamarr Antonio Stamps), Lil' C-Style (Ronald Gillion)^[1], and Techniec (David Keith Williams III)^[2]. They were the first act to be executively produced by Snoop Dogg and signed to his Doggystyle Records imprint, which operated under Death Row Records.^[3] They were the first act to be executively produced by Snoop Dogg and signed to his Doggystyle Records imprint, which operated under Death Row Records.^[4] Affiliated with the West Coast G-funk scene, the group contributed tracks to high-profile soundtracks and albums, including the 1995 single "Beware of My Crew", which peaked at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 51 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and appearances on Snoop Dogg's Tha Doggfather (1996) as well as the Gridlock'd soundtrack alongside 2Pac.^[5]^[4] Their planned debut album, Haven't You Heard, recorded in 1995–1996 with production from figures like Soopafly, Sam Sneed, and L.T. Hutton, was shelved amid Death Row's turmoil and the group's subsequent disbandment following the label's collapse in the late 1990s.^[3] The members pursued solo careers—Bad Azz releasing multiple albums until his death in 2019, Lil' C-Style aligning with groups like Tha Eastsidaz, and Techniec focusing on independent work—before reuniting for the long-delayed Haven't You Heard release on February 8, 2011, via WIDEawake/Death Row Records, featuring guest spots from Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg.^[3]^[4] This output cemented their legacy as a pivotal, though under-the-radar, part of Long Beach's hip-hop heritage, blending street narratives with smooth, funk-infused beats characteristic of the era's Dogg Pound sound.^[3]

History

Formation

The LBC Crew emerged as a hip-hop trio from Long Beach, California, in the mid-1990s, embodying the vibrant "LBC" (Long Beach City) rap scene that sought to highlight the city's distinct street narratives and cultural identity. The group consisted of core members Techniec, Bad Azz, and Lil' C-Style, who came together through shared connections in the local underground circuit. Their formation was driven by a desire to amplify Long Beach's contributions to West Coast hip-hop, carving out space beyond the dominant Compton-centric sounds of N.W.A. and the solo prominence of Snoop Dogg.^[6] Snoop Dogg played a pivotal role in assembling the LBC Crew, conceiving and founding the group in 1994 as a vehicle for emerging Long Beach talent under his growing influence in the industry. This marked them as his inaugural act for executive production, aligning with the launch of his own imprint, Doggy Style Records, which he established in 1995 following the blockbuster success of his debut album Doggystyle. The signing to Doggy Style Records that year positioned the trio within the label's distribution deal through Death Row Records and Warner Bros., occurring amid the waning peak of the G-funk era that had defined early- to mid-1990s West Coast rap.^[6]^[7]^[8] The group's early efforts reflected motivations rooted in elevating Long Beach's collective voice, with Snoop Dogg's involvement providing a platform to extend the regional spotlight he had already illuminated through his solo work. Initial recordings, including the 1995 single "Beware of My Crew," showcased their raw, clique-oriented lyricism over G-funk-infused beats, signaling a commitment to representing LBC's gangsta rap ethos while navigating the turbulent landscape of Death Row's operations.^[6]^[8]

Early career and collaborations

The LBC Crew emerged in the mid-1990s under the executive production of Snoop Dogg, marking their entry into the West Coast hip-hop landscape with the release of their debut single "Beware of My Crew" in 1995. The track, produced by Snoop Dogg and L.T. Hutton, featured rappers Tray Deee and South Sentrell and was included on the soundtrack for the film A Thin Line Between Love and Hate.^[9]^[10] This G-funk-infused anthem showcased the group's smooth, laid-back style characteristic of Long Beach rap, blending melodic hooks with street narratives. It achieved moderate commercial success, peaking at number 9 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart in early 1996 and garnering positive reception for its infectious groove and representation of regional pride.^[11]^[8] Building on this momentum, the LBC Crew contributed to Snoop Dogg's 1996 album Tha Doggfather, appearing as featured artists on several tracks that highlighted their collaborative synergy within the Death Row Records ecosystem. Notable appearances included "Gold Rush," where they joined Kurupt over production by Arkim and Flair, and "Blueberry," alongside Tha Dogg Pound with beats from Sam Sneed.^[12] These features underscored the group's rising prominence in the G-funk era, with their verses adding layers of Long Beach flavor to the album's overarching themes of street life and loyalty. Their involvement extended to production circles at Death Row, fostering tight-knit creative exchanges. In 1996, the LBC Crew recorded sessions for their debut album Haven’t U Heard… at Death Row's Can-Am Studios, a hub for West Coast production during the label's peak. Key producers included Soopafly (handling multiple tracks like "All I Know" and "Watch Out"), Sam Sneed, and L.T. Hutton, who contributed beats emphasizing synthesized basslines and funk samples central to G-funk.^[13] The group's dynamics during this period reflected the collaborative spirit of Long Beach's rap scene. Live performances, such as their appearance on Soul Train in February 1996 performing "Beware of My Crew," further solidified their presence, energizing audiences with high-energy sets that bridged studio polish and raw stage presence.^[14]

Break-up

The LBC Crew's dissolution stemmed primarily from business differences between Lil' C-Style and Snoop Dogg, who had executive-produced the group and overseen their early recordings. These tensions, arising during the completion of their debut album Haven’t U Heard…, led to the project's indefinite shelving as the group dynamics fractured. Bad Azz later reflected that the separation was not rooted in personal negativity but rather in members pursuing divergent professional paths away from Snoop's direct involvement.^[15] The incident unfolded against the backdrop of escalating chaos at Death Row Records, Snoop's distributor at the time, which was thrown into disarray following co-founder Suge Knight's 1996 probation violation and subsequent nine-year prison sentence for assault. This legal fallout, including Knight's incarceration starting in late 1996, contributed to the label's operational decline, stalling numerous projects and exacerbating internal conflicts among affiliated artists.^[16]^[17] The group officially disbanded in 1997, after activity from their 1994 formation to 1997, with members shifting focus to solo endeavors amid the unraveling Death Row ecosystem. This brief tenure, emerging from earlier Long Beach-based collaborations with Snoop Dogg, underscored a missed opportunity for greater cohesion in the local rap scene.^[15]

Members

Techniec

Techniec, born David Keith Williams III, is an American rapper who grew up in Long Beach, California, immersing himself in the city's vibrant hip-hop scene from a young age.^[18] Raised amid the challenges of local street culture, he participated in rap battles that honed his skills and connected him to the West Coast rap community.^[19] In 1995, Techniec joined LBC Crew as one of its core members, serving as a primary rapper and contributor to the group's energetic sound. He provided key verses on the crew's breakout single "Beware of My Crew" from the 1996 soundtrack A Thin Line Between Love & Hate, as well as features on Snoop Dogg's Tha Doggfather album, including tracks that highlighted the group's Long Beach roots.^[19] His delivery within the group emphasized aggressive flows and narrative storytelling drawn from everyday experiences in Long Beach's gang-influenced environment, adding raw authenticity to their gangsta rap style.^[18] Techniec's style often featured high-energy hype elements, energizing performances and recordings that captured the intensity of street life. As of 2025, Techniec continues to pursue independent rap, focusing on new projects while reflecting on his LBC Crew tenure in recent interviews, such as discussions about his early hits and Long Beach heritage.^[20]

Bad Azz

Jamarr Antonio Stamps, known professionally as Bad Azz, was born on November 27, 1975, in Hawaiian Gardens, California, and raised in Long Beach, where he became immersed in the local gang culture as a member of the Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta Crips, a Crips-affiliated collective tied to the West Coast hip-hop scene.^[21]^[22] This environment shaped his early exposure to hip-hop, fostering connections within Long Beach's burgeoning G-funk movement alongside figures like Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg.^[21] Within LBC Crew, Bad Azz served as a key original member, contributing as a vocalist and performer on their primary single "Beware of My Crew" from the 1996 soundtrack A Thin Line Between Love & Hate, where he co-wrote the track and delivered verses emphasizing group unity and street bravado. His role extended to high-energy contributions during studio sessions for Snoop Dogg's 1996 album Tha Doggfather, including features on tracks such as "Blueberry" (with Tha Dogg Pound) and "Snoop's Upside Your Head" (with Tha Dogg Pound and Prince Ital Joe), where his presence helped infuse the project's collaborative G-funk sound.^[23] Bad Azz's signature style featured smooth, melodic flows that blended humor with confident bravado, aligning seamlessly with the laid-back, funk-infused aesthetics of G-funk tracks produced during the group's active period.^[21] Bad Azz passed away on November 11, 2019, at age 43, while in custody at the Riverside County Sheriff's Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta, California, following an arrest for suspected domestic violence; authorities reported no foul play suspected, the cause of death was not publicly disclosed.^[21]^[24] Snoop Dogg paid tribute on Instagram, calling him a "D.P.G. L.L.G. L.B.C. Crew original" and noting he was "gone 2 soon."^[25]

Lil' C-Style

Ronald Gillion, better known by his stage name Lil' C-Style, was born on July 7, 1974, in Long Beach, California. As a native of the city, he developed early connections within the local hip-hop community during the 1990s, immersing himself in the West Coast rap scene alongside figures like Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound.^[1] Lil' C-Style joined LBC Crew as one of its founding members, serving as the primary rapper and producer within the group. He handled beats for several internal tracks during their recording sessions and contributed a verse to the 1997 single "Out the Moon," which featured Snoop Dogg and Soopafly and was originally intended for the group's debut album. His production work emphasized G-funk influences, aligning with the Long Beach sound. Known for his technical rhyme schemes, Lil' C-Style's style centered on vivid street narratives drawn from Long Beach's gang culture and daily struggles, often infused with melodic hooks to enhance accessibility. This approach blended raw lyricism with rhythmic flow, distinguishing his contributions amid the group's West Coast gangsta rap framework. Lil' C-Style played a central role in the LBC Crew's 1997 break-up, stemming from frustrations over unpaid royalties from Snoop Dogg; in a fit of anger, he destroyed the master tape of their nearly completed debut album, effectively shelving the project and dissolving the group.^[26] In 2015, Gillion was convicted of attempted murder related to a 2012 shooting and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison, contributing to his limited public appearances since then.^[27] Since the group's disbandment, particularly after 2019, Lil' C-Style has kept a low profile, making sporadic appearances on West Coast hip-hop compilations and features, including a 2025 single titled "Lil C-Style Of DPGC Long Beach Los Angeles Eastsiderz LBC 19th Street" by Vrac Experience.^[28]

Musical style

Genre influences

The LBC Crew's music is firmly rooted in G-funk, a subgenre of West Coast hip hop characterized by slow, synth-driven beats, funky basslines, and melodic grooves derived from 1970s funk influences.^[29] Their production style draws heavily from Parliament-Funkadelic, as evidenced by direct samples like the interpolation of Parliament's "Aqua Boogie (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)" in the track "I'll Smoke to That," which exemplifies the genre's psychedelic funk foundation blended with laid-back rhythms.^[30] This approach creates an infectious, cruising vibe suited to Long Beach's coastal atmosphere, with sparse drums and smooth synth layers that prioritize groove over aggression.^[31] As part of the mid-1990s gangsta rap wave, the group echoed the sound pioneered by N.W.A., Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg on Death Row Records, incorporating street narratives and braggadocious flows over G-funk backdrops.^[3] Executive produced by Snoop Dogg on his Doggystyle label, their debut album Haven't You Heard (originally recorded in 1996) mirrors the mellow, harmonious style of Snoop's 1993 album Doggystyle, with features and production ties extending to Snoop's Tha Doggfather.^[3] This connection situates LBC Crew within the Death Row ecosystem, where gangsta rap's raw lyricism meets G-funk's polished, party-ready production. Long Beach's regional flavor further shaped their sound, offering a more relaxed, sun-soaked contrast to the intense, confrontational edge of Compton's hip hop scene as seen in N.W.A.'s work.^[32] Tracks like "Dippin' in My Low Low" and "Blueberry" embody this local essence through themes of cruising, loyalty, and neighborhood pride, delivered with confident, melodic flows that evolved toward smoother, hook-driven rap rather than purely hardcore delivery.^[31]

Production and themes

The production style of LBC Crew's music was rooted in G-funk aesthetics, featuring upbeat synths, sparse drums, and haunting, seductive melodies that evoked the West Coast summer vibe. In-house producers like L.T. Hutton, Soopafly, DJ Pooh, and Sam Sneed crafted these elements, often incorporating funky basslines and melodic synths to create smooth, mellowed-out tracks ideal for cruising.^[3]^[13] This approach was evident across their 2011 album Haven't You Heard, where contributions from Snoop Dogg added polished layers to the sound.^[3] Key production techniques included layered backing vocals and call-and-response hooks, which amplified the group's harmonious delivery and old-school flows. The tempos were generally relaxed, fostering anthemic qualities suited to laid-back narratives, as seen in tracks like "Dippin' In My Low Low" and "Feels Good 2 B DPG." Their sound effectively bridged Death Row Records' refined, melodic production—reminiscent of Snoop Dogg's Tha Doggfather—with the unfiltered authenticity of Long Beach street experiences.^[3]^[13] Lyrically, LBC Crew explored themes of street life in Long Beach, gang unity through cliques and loyalty, women, and partying, often with braggadocious hood narratives. Songs like "Beware of My Crew" warned of the perils associated with their crew, highlighting toughness and territorial pride without excessive focus on violence.^[3]^[33] Their appearances on Tha Doggfather, such as the track "Blueberry" with Tha Dogg Pound, emphasized celebratory vibes centered on relaxation and the West Coast lifestyle.^[3]^[12] Other works included odes to romance, as in "Baby Come Home," balancing gritty realism with lighter escapism.^[3]

Discography

Studio albums

LBC Crew released only one studio album, Haven’t You Heard..., which was recorded in 1996 during the group's tenure at Death Row Records but shelved following their break-up. The project was rediscovered years later and remastered for its official release on February 8, 2011, through WIDEawake/Death Row Records.^[3]^[13] The album comprises 14 tracks, showcasing the group's G-funk style with smooth, laid-back production emphasizing West Coast hip-hop elements like synthesizers and funk samples. Production was led by Soopafly, with additional contributions from L.T. Hutton, Sam Sneed, Daz Dillinger, DJ Pooh, and others.^[13]^[3] Standout tracks include the title track "Haven’t You Heard..." (featuring Snoop Dogg), which opens the album with introspective lyrics on street life; "Dippin’ In My Low Low" (featuring Coco Loc and Snoop Dogg), a cruising anthem highlighting hydraulic car culture; and "Out The Moon" (featuring Soopafly and Snoop Dogg), known for its mellow vibe and cosmic-themed storytelling. Other notable cuts like "Gangsta" and "Jacca’s Reunion" explore themes of loyalty and Long Beach pride, with frequent guest spots from Snoop Dogg adding star power to seven of the songs.^[13]^[3] Critically, Haven’t You Heard... was met with mixed reception upon its 2011 release, lauded for capturing the authentic 1990s G-funk essence and serving as a time capsule of unreleased Death Row material, though some reviewers noted its themes felt dated in the modern hip-hop landscape.^[3] As of 2025, no additional studio albums by the group have been released.^[34]

Soundtrack and guest appearances

The LBC Crew made notable contributions to film soundtracks and guest appearances on prominent albums during their active years with Death Row Records, showcasing their G-funk style through collaborative tracks that highlighted Long Beach's rap scene. These one-off releases extended their reach beyond their planned studio album, often featuring high-profile guests and producers like Snoop Dogg and L.T. Hutton.^[35] Their debut single, "Beware of My Crew" featuring Tray Deee and South Sentrell, appeared on the 1996 soundtrack for the film A Thin Line Between Love and Hate. Produced by L.T. Hutton and Snoop Dogg, the track embodies West Coast gangsta rap with smooth synths and cautionary street narratives, peaking at number 51 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and number 9 on the Hot Rap Songs chart.^[11]^[36]^[37] In 1997, following the group's initial disbandment amid Death Row's turmoil, "Out the Moon (Boom, Boom, Boom)"—a remix featuring Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Tray Deee, and Soopafly—was included on the Gridlock'd soundtrack. Originally recorded for their unreleased debut album, the track's bouncy production by L.T. Hutton and Priest "Soopafly" Brooks captures a playful yet gritty vibe, marking one of their last official releases during the era.^[38]^[39] The group also provided guest vocals on Snoop Dogg's 1996 album Tha Doggfather, most prominently on "Blueberry" alongside Tha Dogg Pound. This laid-back track, produced by Kurupt, features the LBC Crew's harmonious hooks and ad-libs, contributing to the album's ensemble feel with its emphasis on Long Beach camaraderie.^[40]^[41]^[23] As of 2025, these remain their primary one-off contributions, with no major tours or live albums documented.^[42]

Solo projects

Following the dissolution of LBC Crew in 1997, member Bad Azz pursued a prolific solo career, releasing multiple albums that explored themes of street life, personal struggle, and West Coast gangsta rap resilience. His debut solo effort, Word on tha Streets, arrived in 1998 via Priority Records, featuring production from West Coast staples like DJ Battlecat and Soopafly, and tracks emphasizing Long Beach hustling and loyalty. This was followed by Personal Business in 2001, also on Priority, which included collaborations with artists like Snoop Dogg and Kurupt, delving into introspective narratives on fame and betrayal within the rap game.^[43] Bad Azz continued with Money Run in 2003 under Out Of Bounds Entertainment / Double Dollar Sign Records, highlighting entrepreneurial survival tactics amid urban challenges, and Executive Decision in 2004, blending raw lyricism with G-funk beats to underscore themes of independence and street credibility. His later work, The Nu Adventures of Bad Azz in 2018, marked a return after a hiatus, focusing on matured reflections of Long Beach life through self-released distribution. Techniec, another LBC Crew alum, shifted toward collaborative efforts rather than full solo albums, maintaining a presence through features and group-adjacent projects post-1997. He contributed verses to the 2002 compilation Da Hood by the similarly named supergroup, which included tracks on hood politics and unity among West Coast rappers.^[44] In 2011, Techniec released The Blacklist, a collaborative album with L's under independent Bloc Rebel Media, featuring guests like Bad Azz and Bo Roc on songs addressing cold street dynamics and personal redemption, though it leaned more on ensemble dynamics than individual spotlight.^[45] Additional appearances, such as on Fruit Pruno 2 in 2016, kept Techniec active in underground circuits, prioritizing features over standalone releases. In 2025, Techniec released Patience Of God Season 2, featuring the LBC Crew on the track "LBC N the Flesh".^[2]^[46] Lil' C-Style's solo output emphasized his production skills alongside rapping, with independent ventures showcasing a hands-on approach to Long Beach soundscapes. His primary solo album, Blacc Balled, dropped in 2004 as a self-produced effort, incorporating heavy beats and themes of local pride and underdog triumphs, distributed through niche channels without major label backing.^[44] Later, in 2016, he compiled Long Beach State of Mine Vol. 1 & 2, a production-focused collection blending original tracks and remixes that highlighted his role as a behind-the-scenes architect in West Coast hip-hop.^[47] Occasional crossovers bridged members' solo paths, including the 2022 single "We Don't Fck Wit U" by D Breezy featuring LBC Crew and Bo Roc, which incorporated archival vocals from Bad Azz to evoke group camaraderie amid independent pursuits.^[48] As of November 2025, members continue scattered independent endeavors and legacy features.

Legacy

Cultural impact

LBC Crew played a pivotal role in elevating Long Beach as a prominent hub for West Coast hip-hop during the 1990s, aligning with the rise of artists like Snoop Dogg and Warren G amid the dominance of G-funk sounds. As the first group executively produced by Snoop Dogg under his Doggystyle Records imprint, they helped spotlight the city's burgeoning rap talent and contributed to its reputation as the epicenter of G-funk innovation.^[19]^[32] The track "Beware of My Crew," released in 1996 on the soundtrack for A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, emerged as a standout representation of their style, blending aggressive lyrics with classic G-funk elements like synthesized basslines and talk-box effects. Its enduring appeal is evident in its sampling by subsequent West Coast artists, including Snoop Dogg and Warren G's "Rollin Down the Highway" (2022), Daz Dillinger's "In California" (1998), and Snoop Dogg's "Up Jump tha Boogie" (featuring Kurupt) (1996), underscoring its influence within underground and revivalist circles.^[49] The 2011 release of their shelved debut album Haven't You Heard via Death Row Records revived interest in the group as a "lost" artifact of the G-funk era, offering a glimpse into unrealized Death Row projects from the mid-1990s. Critics noted its value as a time capsule capturing Long Beach street culture through themes of camaraderie and lowrider aesthetics, appealing primarily to dedicated fans of vintage West Coast rap despite its delayed arrival.^[3] By 2025, LBC Crew maintains a niche but persistent following among crate-diggers and enthusiasts of G-funk revivals, who value their raw portrayal of Long Beach life as a foundational, if understated, thread in the genre's tapestry.^[3]

Later releases and tributes

In 2011, the LBC Crew's long-shelved debut album Haven't You Heard was finally released through Wideawake/Death Row Records, compiling tracks recorded in the mid-1990s during the group's original sessions with Death Row. The project, executive produced by Snoop Dogg and featuring contributions from producers like DJ Pooh, Sam Sneed, and Daz Dillinger, was marketed as a key artifact of the Death Row era, with Snoop appearing on multiple tracks to highlight its G-funk roots.^[34] The release followed years of legal entanglements surrounding Death Row's archived masters, which had been tied up in bankruptcy proceedings and ownership disputes, allowing the tapes to surface after their recovery by the label's new management. The group's trajectory was further marked by tragedy in 2019 with the death of member Bad Azz (Jamarr Antonio Stamps) on November 11, while in custody at Riverside County's Southwest Detention Center; the cause of death has not been publicly disclosed.^[50] Snoop Dogg led the tributes, posting on Instagram, "One of the most talented and most loved... Prayers to the family," emphasizing Bad Azz's role in Long Beach's rap scene.^[25] The Long Beach community, including Daz Dillinger and KXNG Crooked, shared condolences online, with local outlets noting his influence on West Coast hip-hop; a tribute track, "Bad Azz Tribute" by Yung Gritty, emerged shortly after to honor his legacy.^[51] No formal memorial shows were widely reported, but social media remembrances underscored the personal losses within the LBC Crew circle. Posthumous efforts have focused on archival material rather than new group output. In 2025, online analyses gained traction, including a detailed YouTube breakdown video from March 27 comparing the 1996 unreleased Haven't You Heard sessions to the official version, sparking discussions on production differences and lost tracks.^[52] Full reunions have not occurred, hampered by Bad Azz's death, the 1990s disbandment after Death Row's collapse, and ongoing member inactivity, though occasional features appear in Snoop Dogg-affiliated projects.^[53] From a 2025 vantage, interest in the LBC Crew has seen a resurgence through digital platforms, with their catalog on Spotify amassing over 6,000 monthly listeners, driven by algorithmic playlists highlighting 1990s West Coast rap and renewed streaming of tracks like "Blueberry" featuring Snoop Dogg.^[42] This online revival positions their work as a niche but enduring part of Long Beach's hip-hop heritage.
