    Nationwide Rip Ridaz

    The Nationwide Rip Ridaz were an assortment of Crip gang members from Compton, South Central, and Watts, Los Angeles, CA.


    After the Bloods & Crips collaborations "Bangin On Wax" and "Bangin' On Wax 2...The Saga Continues", executive-producer Ronnie M. Phillips brought in additional talent to help expand the label and continue the "Bangin On Wax" movement. The two rival gangs were now given their own releases, where the Bloods became known as Damu Ridas and the Crips became the Nationwide Rip Ridaz. In 1995, they released their self-titled debut album "Nationwide Rip Ridaz" accompanied with a music video. In 1998, they released their final album "Nationwide Rip Ridaz II Betrayed (Can't Trust Nobody)".
