'real brothas' is the debut album of compton natives and half-brothers b.g. knocc out & dresta, released in 1995. 'real brothas' shines on multiple levels.
while on the surface the duo may just look like another jeri-curled, compton crip rap group, knocc out and dresta are two of the toughest, grittiest west coast rappers that i have heard, and despite their young age they come as hard as any, heavy with threats and stories.
musically the production is excellent, graced with the slow rolling, heavy bass, whiny synths, and hard beats of the best g-funk records of the 90s. unfortunately, this album is long out of print and impossible to find, making its legend even greater.
