adminVarious sources have informed AllHipHop.com that former Death Row Records artiste Kevin “Flipside” of the Watts group O.F.T.B. died on Monday as a victim of gun violence.
Based out of the Nickerson Gardens Projects in Watts, the group O.F.T.B (Operation From The Bottom) signed to Death Row Records in the early 90s and appeared on such compilations and soundtracks as “Murder Was The Case”, “Above The Rim” and ‘Gridlock’d”.
Although O.F.T.B. released their debut album “Straight Up Watts” on Big Beat Records in 1992 before signing with Suge Knight, they never released an album on Death Row Records until 2011 when the new owners of the Death Row catalogue, “WideAwake”, decided to release the group’s “Damn Near Dead” album.
Details about the shooting are still unknown at this time.
AllHipHop.com would like to send our condolences to the family and friends of Kevin “Flipside” White.— AllHipHop News.
