Tracy Curry came out of the Fila Fresh Crew before signing to Ruthless Records, where his Dr. Dre-produced 1989 debut No One Can Do It Better went platinum and helped write the blueprint for West Coast rap's golden run. A car accident just months after the album's release crushed his larynx and permanently changed his voice — but he kept writing, co-founding Death Row Records with Dre, Suge Knight and Dick Griffey and shaping records for Snoop Dogg and 2Pac from behind the scenes. Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award with N.W.A in 2024.
