“We grew up in the same neighborhood, we grew up around each other … with Nate Dogg … and Snoop (Dogg) too,” C-Knight told Canada’s Outlaw Radio. “I was discovered by Warren G during a rap battle. He had just done a song with Mista Grimm (“Indo Smoke”) … He said he liked the way I spoke, he liked what I was spitting. And, s—, about four days after that we were in the studio.”

The Doo Shack released their album “This Is The Shack” in 1996, which spawned the group’s biggest hit single, “Summertime at the LBC”, featuring Arnita Porter.

“We wrote that track in 15 minutes, man… it was like low effort,” he told Outlaw Radio. “It’s basically just a reflection of us growing up in Long Beach … summertime barbecues and things like that, just that element of fun.”

Today, C-Night and Dove Shack are credited with their memorable influence on the Gangsta Funk (G-Funk) movement that flourished in the 1990s.
