Born January 23rd 1975 as Arlandis Hinton , BG Knocc Out is an African American west coast rapper best known for collaborating with Eazy-E on Real Compton City G'z. BG was raised by a single mother and his older brother Gangsta Dresta and grew around the streets of Compton, A city known for it's violent Police Department and Gang related crimes. Knocc out, lived a life of high and lows. Nobody looked out for him or his brother Dresta so trying to survive alone Dresta and Knocc Out started Gang Banging and before you knew it Dresta was doing 5 years behind bars. Knocc Out now had to take care of his younger brothers and sisters as he was the 2nd eldest in the family. Dresta spent his days in prison writing and kept good contact with his brother and soon Knocc Out was writing too.

Now thanks to the success of Eazys album Knocc Out and Dresta became well established in the game and started work on their own solo album that was to be called "Real Brothas" which is their only album to date. Eazy E was meant to feature on DPG killa but was taken to hospital and later died. Suddenly one of his best friends Eric Eazy E Wright died due to complications with aids. This shocked the nation and left a scar on Dresta and Knocc Out, this ruined every chance they had to get signed to Eazys Ruthless Records and now with absolutely no promotion of their album they released Real Brothas under Outburst Records and Def Jam. which didnt sell as well as they had hoped. But they still managed a hit DPG killa a vicious diss aimed at the Dogg pound.
