People think of Priority Records as the epicenter of West Coast gangster rap, but it didn't start that way. The first act was actually the California raisins and Priority used the money from them to go big into rap. The label blew up with Easy N. W. A. And Ice cube. But when Master P came along, everything changed. It all began in 1996, when he signed a radical distribution deal with priority records, a deal that ignited a chain of events that would make the company hundreds of millions of dollars and a whole lot of enemies.
