Mr. Criminal

Mr. Criminal grew up in the streets of Southern California. At an early age, he was kicked out of school, went to Juvenile Hall, placed on house arrest, and even placed on probation. He wrote his early raps about life in a book. In the year 2000, Criminal was released from probation and met Mr. Capone-E. With his help, Mr. Criminal was able to get a contract deal with Hi-Power Entertainment. He recorded his first album Criminal Mentality in 2001, and started climbing up ever since. Today he produces not only for himself, but also for various artists including Lil Flip, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, MC Eiht, and Mr. Capone-E. He has also worked with Roscoe (DPG), Frank V, Soldier Ink (Stomper & Grumpy), Triple C, Nate Dogg, Comptons Most Wanted, Spider Loc, Brenton Wood, Kokane and Lil Cuete. His work can also be found on the albums Soldiers of the 213, What the Streets Created, Organized Crime and other projects that have come out under Hi-Power Entertainment. He has been featured on many of Hi Power compilations which has helped push the label past gold status
