Lawrence White (born December 16, 1979), is an
American rapper and actor, better known as 40 Glocc. He is currently
signed to Infamous Records and G-Unit Records.
Lawrence White was born in Galveston Texas on December 16, 1979.
At the age of eight he moved with his mother to various locations
in California, until finally settling in the Inland Empire district
of Colton also known as "The Zoo". There, he joined the
local set of the Crips gang known as the Colton City Crips, though
during an injunction against the Crip set, he later denied his involvement
in the gang. He then began to rap with local friends and by 1997,
his group, the "Zoo Crew", were recording and promoting
their first album, Migrate, Adapt or Die, produced by Tony G and
Julio G.
40 Glocc negotiated a deal with Empire Musicwerks, with distribution
by BMG. It was through this deal, he recorded and released his first
solo effort, "The Jakal", which featured such guests as,
Bad Azz, Tray Deee, Ras Kass, Kurupt, Mac Minister, Spice 1 and several
others; and such producers as Battlecat and Dr. Dre among several
others. It was after this album that he decided to part ways with
Empire Music.
His manager had another act located out of New York, called Mobb
Deep who were also becoming a success. Mobb Deep was then signed
to G-Unit Records, and 40 Glocc joined their label, Infamous
Records, under the G-Unit imprint.
40 Glocc is working with artists such as Dr. Dre, The Alchemist
and Havoc. He is also currently working on an untitled album. He
has also been working with his group, the "Zoo Babies",
whilst also trying to promote his label "Zoo Life Ent.".[7]
He has also been on tour with such acts as G-Unit, Mobb Deep, and
other artists signed to the G-Unit Record label. He's released a
song entitled "Where the Hammers At?",[8] the beat for
which was later used as the beat for G-Unit's song Rider Pt. 2.[5]
He later released a remix to "Hammers" which features G-Unit
and their respective verses of Rider Pt. 2.[9] In late fall 2010,
40 Glocc signed affiliated rapper Ras Kass to his label Zoo Life.
