The LBC Crew were a short-lived collective of Long Beach-based rappers. They were the first act to be executively-produced by Snoop Dogg. In 1997, The LBC Crew were signed to Doggystyle Records
Although an entire album was never released, LBC Crew had a hit single with the song "Beware Of My Crew", from the A Thin Line Between Love and Hate soundtrack. They were also prominently featured on Snoop Dogg's sophomore album Tha Doggfather. The group disbanded following the collapse of Death Row. Since then, unreleased material from the group emerged on the underground.
Most of the LBC Crew remained visible figures in West-Coast hip-hop. Prior to his incarceration, Tray-Dee was part of the successful rap-trio, Tha Eastsidaz. Bad Azz released two solo albums under the Doggy Style imprint. Lil C-Style remained part of unorganized Death Row camp. And Techniec recently signed to The Game's The Black Wall Street Records.
