In this exclusive episode of The Gangster Chronicles, MC Eiht and Steele sit down with West Coast heavyweight Xzibit for a raw and insightful conversation that traces his journey through hip hop history.

X breaks down how he first got put on by King T and Tha Alkaholiks, how the legendary Wake Up Show sharpened his pen game, and what it meant to land a deal with Loud Records at a pivotal time in rap.
