B.G. Knocc Out
Al Hasan Naqiyy (born Arlandis Tremel Hinton; born January 23, 1975), known professionally as B.G. Knocc Out, is an American West Coast rapper. Raised in Compton and Watts, California, he became involved in gang life before entering the rap scene alongside his older half-brother, Dresta. In 1993, after being discovered through Dresta by Eazy-E, Naqiyy joined a brewing feud between Eazy-E and Dr. Dre by contributing a verse, improvised on the spot, to the historical diss track “ Real Muthaphuckkin Gs,” widely regarded as one of the greatest diss tracks of all time. The single became a landmark in hip-hop, peaking at No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and defining the raw, combative style of '90s West Coast diss records. In 1995, Naqiyy and Dresta released their debut studio album '' Real Brothas'' . The album charted at No. 128 on the Billboard 200, No. 15 on the Top R&B Albums, and No. 5 on the Heatseekers chart.
