yeah,back in the day ,at the height of his 415 fame...it was on the news,they broke down how the whole bust went down,in the town it was pretty much public knowledge,he sampled it on the half thang album seems like he was locked up three or four years,but I don't remember.

From allmusic.com
Richie Rich first entered music in the late '80s with the Oakland-based group 415. With D-Loc, DJ Darryl, and JED, Rich crafted a Bay Area classic called 41Fivin', which sold well around the region and spawned a Richie Rich solo album, Don't Do It. As the group was ready to sign a major-label contract with Priority in 1990, however, Richie Rich was arrested for possession of cocaine. 415 released its next album and faded from the scene soon after, while Rich sat in jail; he was released a year later.

no kidding, he explains that on his albums.  maybe he wanted to become rich himself instead of mooching off his family.
