The goal was to create an outlet for gang members to release their frustrations with each other on records rather than on the streets. Actual gang members — Crips from Compton, Watts and Long Beach, and Bloods from Inglewood and Los Angeles — auditioned for the group and the best MCs were chosen for the album. All proceeds from the initial Bangin On Wax album sales went towards local schools and parks for the children. Now 30 years later, the original single LP changes hands for over £100, but for black Friday, it’s now available with extra tracks which only appeared on the CD, now as a 2LP, with one red, and one blue vinyl. Limited to 1000 numbered units, only for this special day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dangerous Records","offers":[{"title":"Red LPx2","offer_id":50511730934091,"sku":"2226130","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Bangin_On_Wax_af65adbd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727922262"},{"product_id":"bangin-on-wax-2-the-saga-continues-rsd-2026-qq","title":"Bangin' On Wax 2...The Saga Continues - RSD 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuy in-store on Record Store Day (18\/04\/2026).

The follow-up, The Saga Continues, originally dropped only on CD in 1994. Now, for the first time ever, we’re proud to bring it to wax — pressed on special edition half\/half Blue and Red vinyl, of course. This concept was a pivotal moment in West Coast gangsta rap, uniting members of L.A.’s two most infamous sets. Crips from Compton, Watts, and Long Beach, and Bloods from Inglewood and Los Angeles auditioned for the project, with the sharpest MCs selected for the final lineup. All proceeds from the original Bangin’ on Wax album went toward improving local schools and parks for the community’s children. Over 30 years later, the lone CD pressing regularly fetches £50+ on the secondary market — and now the album finally arrives on vinyl. Sleeker in production and delivery, this record carries that true G-Funk swagger, tipping its hat to Warren G, Snoop, DJ Quik, and even Dr. Dre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dangerous Records","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Half and Half Blue and Red","offer_id":56474822213963,"sku":"R2770-8025","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/btQj0L0HOM1hh6p1BJBZIHd3CK8R9vywqHbswNz-Yeo-1920w.jpg?v=1770385150"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/bloods-and-crips.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
