25 ta Life came out of South Central Los Angeles in the 1990s. Their debut album 'Street Certified' arrived in 1997, featuring tracks like 'I Dont Care About You' and 'Bullet For Every Enemy' that carried a raw, confrontational edge.
The group faced legal challenges, including the arrest and imprisonment of member Ezell 'E-Swift' Stephens on firearms charges. They released several more albums through the early 2000s, including 'The World Is Yours' and 'Life After Deathrow'.
Songs like 'Abort' and 'Absence of Sincerity' continued their blunt style. The group became known for addressing social issues in their work, though specific advocacy claims in their biography should be taken cautiously. They put out a compilation called '25 Years of Life' in 2018.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
