Peace Warriors captures daily life in an urban war zone as young talented artists from Watts raised in the midst of gang violence speak to real issues. The album was originally released in 2005 through a Diverse Entertainment partnership label, Watts Records, as a unique collaboration featuring Watts Hip Hop and R&B artists performing songs that inspire listeners to support an end to gang warfare and other senseless violence that plagues U.S. cities. This music carries a message of peace that began with the signing of the historic Crips and Bloods Peace Treaty in Watts in 1992.
A Change Will Come is a classic 1999 west coast rap album featuring L.A. natives Risk and Rocc collectively known as Westide Knuckle Dragg. Their lyrics walk you through a raw and real journey of living in South Los Angeles…the love, the pain, the strife, the family, the soul-searching and the redemption…made all the more real by a soulful mix of jazz, funk, hip hop and R&B beats and melodies. Popular singles No Where to Go and No Better Time have received international critical acclaim and the album continues to be a collector’s item globally.
