STORY

4-Shob is a Gangsta Rap Artist from Westbank, in New Orleans, LA.

He is one of the original members of legendary Gangsta Rap Group The Ruthless Juveniles, along with rapper Lil Badness & rapper-producer Death.

Together they released 2 local classics in the early 90's ("Hard As Tha' Fuck" I & II in 1992 and in 1995) under the freshly created local label Mobo Records. They both consist of violent street tales over some dark tracks with an impressive result of haunted relaer-than-real music...

The group was then reorganized after Lil Badness & 4-shob incarcerations in the middle of the 90's & dropped an average album in 1997 ("The New Beginning").

4-Shob resurfaced after his release from prison, still under Mobo Records. He's featured on Mobo Joe's release in 2004 ("Federalli"). A collaboration album between him & Battle Dog of Dog House Posse was also due to be released & was announced in the booklet of "Federalli" but it never came out.

4-Shob eventually dropped a single in 2018 ("No Realer")...
