5th Ward Boyz



The first artists brought to Rap-a-Lot Records after the infamous Geto Boys, 5th Ward Boyz originally comprised Andre "007" Barnes and Eric "E-Rock" Taylor. The trio originally recorded for Dewey Forker's Underground Records, but moved through a deal between Forker and Rap-a-Lot chief James Smith. The two executives helped produce the debut 5th Ward Boyz album, 1991's Ghetto Dope, which was distributed through Priority. In mid 90's in Notts, some dudes ran a pirate radio station for about a month, as far as i know it never had a name, or no idea who ran it, but what i do know is that all they played all day and night long was Gangster Music, and with that they only acually had about 3 cd's. Ghetto Dope was one, and hearing Got To Be Down To Die and Blood Sweat & Glory every 10 mins i began to like it........lol
