He is also the older brother of rapper B.G. Knocc Out, who also collaborated in the song.
Early years
Along with his brother, he is Crips gang member,[2] associated with Nutty Blocc Compton Crips set.[3]
Dresta had reputation of rapping when he was in California Youth Authority. Eazy-E eventually discovered the brothers, met up and recorded songs with them.[4]
He was first signed to Toenail Records with his younger brother B.G. Knocc Out. Then both signed to Ruthless Records with Eazy-E. With B.G. Knocc Out, Dresta appeared on the Eazy-E's 1993 double-platinum EP It's On (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa on single "Real Muthaphuckkin G's" (which was censored to "Real Compton City G's" in order to garner MTV and radio airplay) with Eazy-E, taking shots at Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg after Dre and Snoop dissed Eazy on 1992s The Chronic.
Thanks to the success of the album's signature track, they gained exposure and were inspired to record an album of their own. Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out released their debut album Real Brothas in 1995. Dresta made three guest appearances in Eazy-E's posthumous album Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton.
Around the late 90's to 2000 Dresta worked with Death Row Records - the same label that the trio had dissed heavily in the mid 90's. Dresta appeared on two tracks from Death Row's Too Gangsta for Radio compilation, but never actually signed to the label.[2]
[edit] Recent years
Dresta stated in an interview that he is currently working on Dirty West mixtape series and on upcoming solo album. He also wrote a song for Dr. Dre's upcoming album Detox, but Dre didn't want to collaborate with him. Dresta also criticized Dr. Dre for surrounding himself with talentless artists and delay of Detox.

BIOGRAPHY:
Born A. Wicker in the city of Compton, Dresta Da Gangsta and his brother B.G. Knocc Out both made a name for themselves on the streets after their mother was sent to jail when they were both only very young. Growing up, nobody looked out for the pair, which soon made them turn to gang banging as a way of life. As a consequence, Dresta was sentenced to ten years behind bars, leaving his then very young brother, B.G to fend for himself. Despite all the problems on the outside world, Dresta would not let this break his spirits and still found time to write and freestyle his lyrics with the other prisoners whilst he was locked up.
When Dresta was released from prison, he and B.G. both continued trying to make it big within the rap industry and eventually got the chance to sign a deal with Toenail Records although this was only very short lived. Through Toenail Records, Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out scored the once in a lifetime opportunity to work with the late, great N.W.A front man and Ruthless Records CEO, Eazy-E. The chance was a dream come true for the pair and of course history was made when the voices of Dresta Da Gangsta and B.G. Knocc Out were added to the title track of Eazy-Es infamous record, Its on [Dr.Dre] 187um Killa.
In the mist of all the media attention that Eazy-E, Dresta and B.G. were receiving, the pair took the time out to pen down some of their more personal tracks, using their now established names as a backing. Following Real Muthaphukkin Gz, the duo decided to combine forces and come together for an album, putting together Dresta Da Gangstas O.G. style and delivery, with the tongue-twisting melodies and flow of B.G. Knocc Out. The album would later go on to be called Real Brothas, which would boast a huge array of super-producers, from Rhythm D, Charlie B, Madness4Real and Domino. The duo signed a deal with Def Jam / Outburst records for the release of the album which would then go on to be a huge success for the Compton team.
After the release of Real Brothas in 1995, Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out continued to work with the legendary Eazy-E on his new up and coming album, Str8 Off Tha Streetz Of Muthaphukkin Compton, however the album was put on hold when Eazy was taken ill and diagnosed with AIDS. Unfortunately, Eazy never recovered and soon passed away from the virus before the album was finished with a seal of approval from the man himself. Str8 Off Tha Streetz Of Muthaphukkin Compton would later come out under the same name, with Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out on tracks with Eazy-E himself and would be considered a classic in the eyes of many.
The pair however, would not go on to release another duo album; but would feature on different artists tracks from time to time In 1999, B.G. Knocc Out was sentenced to ten years in prison, leaving Dresta without the other half of the now legendary duo which made them famous. However, using experience from the past and shear will power, Dresta continued to work with West Coast veterans such as, MC Eiht, Jayo Felony, Mausberg (R.I.P), King Owl, Leicy Loc, Young Shane, King T and W.C. Dresta soon realised that he was not only known for his lyrical ability with his brother B.G, but was also now established as a West Coast veteran himself.
Dresta is now signed with Industry Phunk Entertainment where he has been working on many different projects with different artists such as, The Young Hogg$ and King T. A solo project is in the works and can be expected to be released in 2007, as well as a duo album with B.G. Knocc Out when they are reunited in summer 2006.
There is absolutely no doubt that this is going to spark the fuse for a whole new explosion in the West Coast sound and set a pace for the up-and-comers out of Compton and all over the West Coast

That’s false. You can’t live any how and repent last min thinking you can go to heaven. If that’s what you think then you seriously need to renew your mind. It is impossible to live your whole life without God and expect to be accepted into his kingdom as your life is slipping away. Doesn’t work that way.
God gives us the time we need to get right with him when we are alive because grace does not exist after death. People should use the time they have now to strengthen or start a relationship with Jesus. We are living in the last days and grace is running out. One day there will be no more grace.
The bible says if you deny Christ for the world he will deny you in front of his father. if you live a life that is outside of God, that’s you indirectly denying him. There are Christians who have gone to hell or are going to hell because they choose to live outside of the will of God and that’s even his children, Imagine someone who doesn’t know God or refuses to acknowledge Jesus. When he/she dies they are not going to be with God because they lived their life without him so also in death they shall be without him. I will give two scriptures to back up what I’m talking about.👇🏾
(Matthew 10:33.
But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.)
(Matthew 7:22-23. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’)
See there’s no last min grace. Seek him now and everything that you need will be given to you. Not when you’re dying. The only time last min grace was allowed is when grace first came into the world when the thief was forgiven on the cross. If God gives someone last min grace at a point of death then that means the person did not die but survived, for God himself will use that testimony to bring others back to him. There are videos everywhere of people dying meeting God and sharing their experiences with others and warning them to get right with God now instead of later. If you do not survive and die then that’s something different. If you die in sin, unwashed by the blood of Jesus it is impossible for you to enter the kingdom of God for he is Holy in all his way and does not dwell in sin but righteousness. If you lack righteousness then you lack his kingdom and you will be condemned to hell.
Why should God give us last minute grace when he gives us years to get right with him. Now is the time to change, not when life is being sucked out of you. Here’s one more scripture to show you how important it is that you seek God first. 👇🏾👇🏾
(Matthew 6:33. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.)
I hope this blesses you 🙏🏾

My first experience at being a mother my bf of 3 years was murdered a week before i gave birth. Today my son is 8 years old and it still gets hard. He never met his dad of course but to know he was robbed of that breaks my heart. My comment may get overlooked but if you're a man reading this and know the life you're living will have you dead or in jail, please choose your children and family first. The streets don't love you like your family does. I'd give anything to see my son with his father. The only male men in his life are my brothers and i thank goodness they have their heads on straight. Please fellas. Think about how you being selfish will change your children. Now til this day, his father's death is being taught as a life lesson and his father's legacy will continu positively through our son. Prayers to this family.
@acethechange
Mine died a month before our daughter was born and she was born on what would have been his 39th birthday. Overdosed or suicide, not sure. My daughter is 3 now, you're not alone. My condolences.
@NijutheWolf
I'm not a mother, but I plan to be. I'm so sorry that happened to you, and it's a good lesson to learn.
I believe he'll rest in peace, and I'm glad your son at least has good uncles.
Sorry I'm late.
@neekeyzonked5574
Im sorry to hear, hope you and your family are doing better.
