1st Generation, a group comprised of West Coast OGs Kurupt, MC Eiht & Tha Chill of Compton’s Most Wanted, Jayo Felony, Gangsta of the Comrads, and King T just dropped their 6-track EP Rapture.

Earlier this month, the group released the title track off the project, “Rapture”, as well as the second single “Ova (Fairweather Friend)” ahead of release.

Back in 2011, 1st Generation (including DJ Battlecat & Sir Jinx) had small batch of songs recorded and released like “Sharkz In The Water”, “Killin’ Me Softly”, and “Keep It CPT.” Shortly after, the group disbanded as members embarked onto other endeavors and a full project was never released.
