Album Of The Week: 03 Greedo The Wolf Of Grape Street

11:22 AM EDT on March 13, 2018

Here are some details about 03 Greedo, the LA street-rapper who, in recent months, has become a sort of online cult hero: He's got a metal rod in his leg, where he was shot last year. (Greedo claims that doctors wanted to amputate his leg, but he refused.) His face is covered in gang-symbol tattoos, which contrast with his meticulously maintained facial hair in ways that I find frankly unsettling. His rap name has nothing to do with Star Wars or even with the year 2003; it's a gang-life mutation of his original rap name, which was Greedy Giddy. In 2016, Greedo and an associate were arrested in Amarillo, Texas after a police officer discovered four pounds of meth and two stolen guns in their car. Greedo is still awaiting trial on the charges that followed, and if convicted, he faces a possible life imprisonment.
