biography
MC Ren came in 1986 to NWA , while he was still the Dominguez High School in Compton ( Los Angeles County visited). He then contributed very quickly to the hard text passages from NWA, which were first heard on the album NWA and the Posse and wrote almost the entire album with ICE CUBE Eazy-Duz-It by Eazy-E . He was next to Eazy-E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube , one of the four MCs from NWA
NWA split in 1991 and MC Ren released his solo debut EP called Kizz My Black Azz in 1992 with the help of Eazy-E. Despite little advertising, the album sold very well and landed in the top ten of the R&B charts. He was going through a tough time when his DJ, DJ Train , died shortly before Villain in Black was released in 1996. Before he left Ruthless Records , Ren brought out Ruthless for Life in 1998 .
MC Ren is now active again and works with Paris on his label Guerilla Funk, where he was already heard on the Public Enemy Rebirth of a Nation and on the sampler Hard Truth Soldiers Vol. 1 .
Ren is a member of the infamous Kelly Park Compton Crips, a gang in Los Angeles.
