This week on the podcast we sit down with the legendary Cold 187um, also known as Big Hutch from Above The Law. A true architect of West Coast hip hop, Hutch takes us back to the beginning, from getting signed by Eazy-E to Ruthless Records to helping shape the sound that would change rap forever.
We dive into the creation of Above The Law, producing his own albums, and the making of Livin’ Like Hustlers alongside Dr. Dre. Hutch breaks down how the G-Funk sound was born, his role in introducing Kokane to the world, and working with a young 2Pac in his early days.
He also shares stories about working as a producer at Death Row Records, being behind the scenes during one of the most important eras in hip hop history, and what it was like creating music during the rise of West Coast dominance.
This is a must-watch conversation for real hip hop fans, producers, and anyone who wants to understand the roots of G-Funk and the legacy of Above The Law.
