EASTWOOD sits down with Kenta Rooks for a deep, unfiltered conversation about his life, his music career, and his firsthand experience inside one of the most important eras in West Coast hip-hop.
From growing up between East Los Angeles and Inglewood to becoming a nationally ranked basketball player, Eastwood explains how basketball, the streets, family, foster care, and music shaped the person he became.
He takes us back to the early days with Magic and Done Deal, living with Kurupt, recording with Roscoe, meeting the Outlawz, and earning his place among some of the hardest artists in Los Angeles.
Then comes Death Row.
Eastwood tells Kenta Rooks how he ended up in Suge Knight’s orbit, what it was like watching Death Row rebuild, how Kurupt became part of that story again, and how Eastwood himself became part of the new Death Row roster.
He also shares stories involving Kurupt, Tupac Shakur, Ray J, Left Eye, Crooked I, Danny Boy and other artists surrounding the Death Row era.
Eastwood opens up about his personal relationship with Suge Knight and describes a side of Suge that he says is rarely discussed — including the family-oriented events, community givebacks and the relationship he personally experienced with the Death Row founder.
This conversation also goes into Eastwood’s relationship with Left Eye, the studio sessions they shared, her personality, her spirituality, and her connection to Death Row.
And Eastwood doesn’t stop there.
This is a conversation about loyalty, friendship, music, street politics, business, survival, West Coast hip-hop history, and the journey from Inglewood to one of the most legendary record labels in music.
