Early Life and First Steps in Music

Lawrence White was born in Greenville, Texas. When he was 10 years old, he and his mother moved to California. They lived in a few different places before settling in the city of Colton.

In Colton, White started making music with his friends. They formed a rap group called the "Zoo Crew." In 1997, the group recorded their first album, Migrate, Adapt or Die. The album was produced by Tony G. and Julio G.

Building a Career in Music

The album featured famous artists like Bad Azz, Ras Kass, and Kurupt. It also had music produced by well-known producers like Battlecat and Dr. Dre. After this album, White left Empire Music.

Joining G-Unit Records

White's manager also worked with the rap group Mobb Deep. At the time, Mobb Deep was signed to G-Unit Records. This connection helped 40 Glocc join the G-Unit family, signing with their label Infamous Records.
