Spider Loc: ’50 let me out to dry!’
Spider Loc-Gangbangin’ 101
Spider Loc’s reputation precedes him. The Cali native’s gang affiliation, intimidating persona and penchant for beef make him one of G-Unit’s most intriguing figures. The 28-year-old MC was discovered in 2001 after he freestyled for Suge Knight at a local restaurant. Although he never officially signed with Tha Row, Loc worked exclusively with the label and appeared on their 2002 motion picture soundtrack, Dysfunktional Family. The following year,
Spider disassociated himself with the crumbling empire and released an independent Internet album, Brainless: The Prequel. In 2004, Spider met and befriended Young Buck, who introduced him to 50 Cent on the set of the “Shorty Wanna Ride” video. Four months later, Spider Loc signed with G-Unit, subsequently appearing on Tony Yayo’s Thoughts of a Predicate Felon and the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ movie soundtrack. Now, Spider is preparing his G-Unit debut, West Kept Secret/World Wide Web. In the meantime, Loc is staying busy laying the foundation for his Bay Mac Music Label and starring in his first feature film, Paroled. XXLMag.com caught up with the G-Unit Crip to chop it up about his promising career and brewing beefs with the Game and Dipset.
