NOISEY Bompton: Live From Rosecrans (Part 3) [Video]

Compton is full of up-and-coming rap talent, some of which can be seen on the cover of Kendrick Lamar’s ‘To Pimp a Butterfly.’ Artists like Boogie, Jay Worthy, Hitta J3, and Kalifornia King Special are busy building their music careers—while also trying to get by day to day.

In part three of this episode, Snoop calls in to a radio show hosting several Compton rappers. Zach talks to one of them, Kalifornia King Special, who has found a way to make some extra money on the side. Then, we spend some time on Rosecrans Avenue with Hitta J3, whose song “Do Yo Gudda” has become Compton’s latest dance craze. Surrounded by four generations of family, J3 and his mother share stories of the effects gang life has had on their family and neighborhood.
