Twenty-five individuals, many of them rappers associated with one of the Bay Area's largest entertainment labels known as "Thizz Entertainment," have been arrested as part of a major nationwide drug trafficking ring focused on Ecstasy, according to a federal prosecutor.
Agents seized about 45,000 Ecstasy pills, 4 pounds of crack cocaine, a half pound of heroin and $200,000 in suspected drug profits, and forfeited about 230 acres of property valued at about $1 million. The suspects, from Vallejo, Stockton, Oakland, Fairfield, Los Angeles, New York and Oklahoma City, were arrested Thursday, U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said.
The investigation, led by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, uncovered a network of drug distributors centered in Vallejo's Crest neighborhood, across Highway 37 from the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom theme park.

Charged and not yet in custody were: Michael Lott, performs under the name "Miami the Most," Gaylord Franklin, performs under the name "Geezy," Clifford "Black" Bullock, Latroy Cunningham, Dante Barbarin, Beshiba "Pebbles" Cook, Bruce Thurmon, performs under the name "Little Bruce," Damian Peterson, Mikel Brown and Andre Cawthorne.
Charged and released from custody were Nicholas Ramirez and Tiffany Brown.
The origins of Thizz Entertainment go back to the Vallejo-based Romper Room Gang, which prosecutors say participated in armed bank robberies, drug trafficking and murder during the 1980s and 1990s. Many members of the gang were sent to prison, including Mac Dre who spent five years in prison. When he was released from jail, he changed the name of "Romp Records" to Thizz Entertainment and his popularity soared.
During the investigation, agents uncovered trafficking in ecstasy, cocaine, cocaine base, heroin, Oxycodone and marijuana. Drug shipments were sent from the Vallejo area to Oklahoma City; Jamaica; Queens, N.Y.; Atlanta; and Milwaukee, Wis.
