About Brownside

Brownside, a hip-hop group founded in 1993 by Eazy-E, emerged as a significant player in the Chicano rap scene, originally signed to Ruthless Records. The group initially featured members Toker, Fello, and Wicked, but faced tragedy with the untimely deaths of Fello and later Toker, who was murdered in 2018. With a shifting lineup that included Trouble and Klever, Brownside's current status remains uncertain, making its history a focal point for those interested in the cultural landscape of hip-hop in the area.
