South Central Cartel, often abbreviated as SCC, is a pioneering West Coast hip hop group that emerged from the vibrant South Central Los Angeles scene in the early 1990s. The group was pivotal in establishing the West Coast gangsta rap sound, blending gritty narratives of life on the streets with funk-infused beats that defined an era. The core membership of South Central Cartel has included rappers like Havikk the Rhime Son, Prodeje, L.V., and Young Prodeje, among others. They quickly garnered attention with their authentic stories and unapologetic representation of their environment.

With a career spanning three decades, South Central Cartel has been instrumental in the proliferation of the gangsta rap genre and has built a sturdy legacy within the hip hop community. Their discography boasts a collection of albums and singles that reflect the evolution of their style and sound while maintaining their street-wise lyrical prowess and commitment to addressing the realities of inner-city life. Among their recently remastered works, "All Day Everyday" continues to stand out as a fan-favorite, and their push for staying relevant with tracks like "Runn It Uppp" and "2 Da West" illustrates their enduring influence in the rap game. With releases like "Westurrection" and "Cartel or Die...S.C.C.'s Most Gangsta," South Central Cartel has both celebrated their storied past and continued to contribute to the genre's future, cementing their status as West Coast rap royalty.
