Title: New Ronnie King Talks Tupac, Johnny J, The Offspring, Death Row and More!
Post by: jmix on April 05, 2013, 07:43:17 PM

Ronnie King is a musician, producer, and co-owner of Blue Label Records with Sean Couevas. Ronnie worked with the Offspring, NOFX, Pennywise, was a member of 'The Joykiller', and has played instruments for the likes of Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Bizzy Bone, UGK, Tyrese, Warren G, Big Syke, and Mariah Carey. The special thing about Mr. King is he was working at Can Am Studios before and during the Death Row era of the ninties. He was also under Jerry Heller at the time and worked with N.W.A. When Johnny J needed a piano sample, it was Ronnie King who provided it. Their relationship was a very strong and close one. The keyboards you hear on tracks such as, 'How Do Ya Want It' and 'Hit Em Up, well that was Ronnie. He was also the main keyboardist in Studio A, where he recorded with Tupac and helped create the songs we love today. Ronnie is one of those responsible for the 'Punks and Thugs' sound we started to hear in the late ninties, heard with acts such as Linkin Park and Big Syke's movement towards alternate genres. Ronnie continued to work alongside Johnny J through Still I rise And UTEOT.
