Bio From All Music.Com
As one of the original early-'90s West Coast gangsta collectives to follow NWA's lead, South Central Cartel first appeared with their debut album South Central Madness in early 1992 before releasing a succession of albums throughout the remainder of the decade. After their follow-up, 1994's 'N Gatz We Truss, generated a sizable amount of attention in the gangsta rap underground, Def Jam signed the group, eventually resulting in their most realized album, 1997's All Day Everyday. During this same era, group leaders Havoc and Prodeje released a string of albums on Quality Records as well, helping garner a small yet healthy cult audience. Unfortunately, Def Jam dropped the group in the late '90s, and they ended up releasing the relatively disappointing Concrete Jungle, Vol. 1 on an indie label, which signaled their plummet into oblivion. Despite their lack of commercial success, the group does stand alongside fellow early-'90s West Coast collectives such as NWA, Compton's Most Wanted, and Above the Law as gangsta rap pioneers. — Jason Birchmeier

Prodeje's Bio From AllMusic.Com
A solo member of South Central Cartel, and also part of a duo with fellow SCC rapper Havoc, Prodeje played an important role in the early- to late-'90s development of West Coast gangsta rap. In addition to rapping, Prodeje also handled a sizable amount of the production for his recordings. - Jason Birchmeier

Havoc & Prodeje's Bio From All Music.Com
As the key members of pioneering early-'90s West Coast gangsta group South Central Cartel, Havoc & Prodeje broke away and recorded some equally notable albums as a duo throughout the '90s, beginning with 1993's Livin' in a Crime Wave. Next came Kickin' Game in early 1995, also released on Quality Records, followed by Truez Neva Stop in 1997. Unfortunately, the duo's career never rivaled South Central Cartel's. - Jason Birchmeier

Young Prodeje's Bio From All Music.Com
After flexing his producing skills with the likes of Havoc & Prodeje and South Central Cartel (the latter being a project he got together in 1991), being featured on the Def Jam soundtrack for The Show and collaborating with Tha Dogg Pound and Ice-T, among others, Young Prodeje has been around, to say the least. But after paying his dues, working with others, and always having to share the mic, he finally went on his own in 1999 with the album Diablo Flame-On: Movie On Wax. - Mike DaRonco
