Biography

Early life and rapping career

Hinton was born in Compton, California. He is of African American, Native American and distant German ancestry; his great-grandfather was an immigrant from Germany. Hinton and his older half-brother Dresta became Crips, affiliated with Nutty Blocc Compton Crips (W/S) set. He has stated that he grew up in Compton and also in Jordan Downs in Watts, Los Angeles. Eazy-E, a Compton drug dealer turned rapper, eventually discovered the brothers, met up and recorded songs with them. B.G. Knocc Out and Dresta signed to Ruthless with Eazy-E. They both made their debut on Eazy-E’s 1993 Double Platinum-RIAA certified EP It’s On (Dr. Dre) 187 Killa on the single “Real Muthaphukkin G’s”. The song itself was a response to Dr. Dre’s and Snoop Dogg’s various disses towards Eazy-E on The Chronic.

In 1995, B.G. Knocc Out and Dresta released their debut studio album Real Brothas, which remains their only album to date. At end of the same year, they made 3 guest appearances in Eazy-E’s posthumous album Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton. The following year in 1996 he appeared on DJ Yella’s debut solo album One Mo Nigga Ta Go.

Prison sentence and later career

Hinton was sentenced to ten to twelve years in prison for gang-related attempted murder in 1998. He converted to Islam in prison and was released in August 2006. He later changed his name to Al Hasan Naqiyy.

On September 2007, his website confirmed reports that he was incarcerated again for parole violation. He was released again in 2009 and released an album called Eazy-E’s Protege during the summer of 2011.
He then had plans to release an album titled Nutty By Nature sometime in 2012, but was cancelled after becoming religious and starting the Hajj, an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca and the largest gathering of Muslim people in the world. The title, Nutty By Nature, is a reference to the gang he was in “Nutty Blocc” back in his early days.
