Compton Soil
Welcome to the Official Myspace page of the first and Greatest Conscious Hip-Hop Group from Compton, California.......Compton's Righteous. The Group was founded in 1991 by Dj L-G and JimC, All production and beats are handled by Dj L-G and All Lyrics and Arrangements by JimC.
Compton's Righteous was born and created during a time when Gangster Rap was gaining serious momentum, and thus the Groups efforts were over shadowed by fellow Compton Artists Like Dr. Dre and Easy E. It is very unfortunate that Easy E died from AIDS, which was immediately following tha release of the first Compton's Righteous single "In Winter AIDS Attacks", a song which detailed how a man was infected by tha disease and died.
Compton's Righteous found moderate success in tha early 90's specifically 1992-1994, following tha release of the groups self titled EP "Compton's Righteous". Compton's Righteous was released on tha groups own label "Iration Entertainment" which a pioneer in the independent music market. Tha group managed to film vidoes for "Eargasmick Vibes" & "In Winter AIDS Attacks" both of which achieved heavy rotation on BET's Rap City and other smaller Video Shows in various regions and markets.
In 1994 the Group went on to record a full album that was to be released on Interscope Records but was shelved and never released. The general up and downs of life and tha Murder of tha group's expeditor Jai Hassan Robles "Big Jake" in 1995 seriously damaged tha groups progress. Compton's Righteous has been featured in many Hip-Hop Magazines such as the Source, Rap Pages (Now Defunct), URB Magazine, CMJ Magazine and Many Others. The Group is currently preparing to release tha Unreleased Album from 1994-1995, And the Group is also currently in tha studio recording all new Material.
