Spider Loc

Curtis Norvell Williams (born on February 14, 1979 in Compton, California)[1] is a rapper known as Spider Loc who is part of the G-Unit clique, although he has yet to be signed to Interscope. He is an inactive member of the 97th Street East Coast Crips gang in South Central, Los Angeles.

Name

Williams was orginally 'Baby Spider' on the streets,[citation needed] where it was a gang affiliation attributed to his older brother.

Career

Spider Loc was first discovered by Suge Knight and tagged along with Death Row Records, he refused six different deals,[citation needed] until he left the label to become a free agent.

In September 2004, Spider Loc met rapper Young Buck in Atlanta and did some acapella rapping for him. A week later in Los Angeles, Young Buck introduced him to 50 Cent on the set of the 'Shorty Wanna Ride' video, and he performed the same freestyle. After four months, the rapper was offered a position with 50 Cent's G-Unit.

He has since been featured on many G-Unit mixtapes such as G-Unit Radio Part 18 - Rags To Riches where the Loc was the main subject of the mixtape and has also released his own mixtape with G-Unit West, titled "Bangadoshish (LA Kings)", which featured artists Young Buck, Big Syke (from Thug Life), 50 Cent and Olivia.

He also has a new mixtape named "Connected" featuring Young Buck, B.G. Knocc Out, Ice Cube, Snoopy Blue, Young Hootie, Lil Eazy, C-Bo, Glasses Malone, Big Foot and Piper.

Awards

Spider Loc was at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, where he and 50 Cent shared the award for best original song in a video game (50 Cent's Maybe We Crazy for 50 Cent: Bulletproof, and Spider Loc for his song, When I Get Angry from Madden NFL 06).

Controversies

Yukmouth

Spider Loc is known for stealing rapper Yukmouth's chain while in a night-club in Hollywood. In a 2006 interview, Spider Loc admitted to a brawl with Yukmouth and his entourage[2] and later said that Mikey Ru (A Deathrow Records Affiliate) had taken the chain[citation needed]. Spider Loc took pictures wearing Yukmouth's chain and they soon spread across the internet, starting at indastreets.net. The chain was returned a day later as Spider was pressured to do so by a mutual friend named Ty from Soul Records.[citation needed]

The Game

Spider Loc also had a feud with ousted G-Unit artist The Game.[3] The two were once friends and made several tracks together. [citation needed] They have sinced attacked each other on numerous songs, including Spider Loc's "Bitch Boy" and "I Don't Want No Problems" and also on "Stop Bitchin" featuring Mr. Criminal, an underground MC. The Game responded to Spider Loc with the track "Spider Joke (240 Bars)", and Spider Loc responding himself with "G-Unot Killa" and "Bang Bang".[3] In a January 2006 interview, Spider Loc was asked, "Can you talk about the Big Fase and Game beef?" but he replied with no specifics. [2]

It has been rumored that both Jayceon Taylor and Spider Loc have since ended they're feud. However, when asked about the situation, Spider Loc responded with an internet post stating simply that he 'will always rep G - Unit', and gave no specifics. The Games lack of diss songs is a further indication that the two may truly have put their differences aside.

Album

Spider Loc's debut album, said to be named "The West Kept Secret", was originally to be released in late 2005 or first quarter 2006 "at the latest."[4]. In an April 2005 interview, the artist stated he was "trying to get it out 4th Quarter, but realistically, 1st Quarter might be more probable", meaning the beginning of 2006.[5] In a January 2006 interivew, Sprider Loc said, "I still don't have a release date, tentatively for the end of the summer. Who knows? I don't know. I ain't really tripping..."[2] The hypothetical album is to feature producers such as Sha Money XL and Hi-Tek.[6]

Songs

Spider Loc has released some mixed tapes. Some of his songs are:
