In 1989, he moved to Los Angeles and formed the rap group The Wascals.[1] In 1992, he was featured on a track from 5150: Home 4 tha Sick by Eazy-E[2] and two tracks from Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde by The Pharcyde.[3][4] In 1994, his group The Wascals released multiple singles with producer J-Swift, but their album was shelved.[5][6][7] From 1998 to 2001, he released multiple singles with producer The Alchemist.[8] The two have an unreleased collaboration album titled Nigga Heaven, that was intended for release in 2001.[9][10][11] In 1999, he made his first appearance on Battle Axe Records, on the compilation album Defenders of the Underworld.[12] In 2000, he appeared on a track from Soul Assassins II by Soul Assassins. Also in 2000, he was featured on four tracks from the compilation album Battle Axe Warriors.[13] All four tracks appear on his debut album Bad Man, released in 2002 by Battle Axe Records.[14][15][16] The album's title track,[17] which samples Scarface and "Dream On" by Aerosmith,[18] appeared in the Gavin Report[19] and Hits Magazine.[20] He was featured twice on the 2001 album Bad Dreams by Swollen Members,[21][22] and once on their 2002 album Monsters in the Closet. In 2004, he released his second album, also on Battle Axe Records, titled Serve the Devil, Praise the Lord.[23] In 2005, he released his third album Rethuglican with Delicious Vinyl, under the name Bucwheed.[24] The album is produced entirely by J-Swift, along with The Wascals long-awaited album Greatest Hits, which released in 2007.[25]
