Biography
Law began his career in 1997 as a pastor at Travelers Rest Missionary Baptist Church, one of Los Angeles' oldest churches. He was intrigued by the choir and began dabbling in the music industry, writing and creating songs during his time there. Unfortunately, some of his creations were stolen in 2000, including his song Purple and Gold, and he received the infamous hip-hop blackball before leaving the church.
In 1986, Law worked as a mechanic and saved up to buy music instruments including the industry’s most prized bass guitars. He then started creating west coast sounds. During this when the US crack epidemic was at its peak, Law joined the ministry and became one of the greatest preachers to grace the pulpit of the Harmony MBC.
When Law landed a meeting with Macola Records, he became embroiled in a conflict that, according to him, resulted in the pirating of his demo – which led to the birth of the West Coast sound that is now ubiquitous in hip-hop and majorly credited to Dr. Dre.
It was during this time when Law saw his life slipping through the cracks that he found solace in the power of God. During this time he lived out of a dingy motel and worked as a telemarketer to make ends meet.
