TOOMER TKO (Part 16): On The SUGE Knight and Death Row Comparisons With TKO

from GRAFFTV · host Richard Castro

In the next clip of our exclusive sit-down interview with Los Angeles graffiti legend TOOMER TKO, often compared to the controversial Death Row Records CEO SUGE Knight, TOOMER addresses the striking parallels between their rises to power. He discusses the shared challenges of maintaining dominance in their respective worlds. Like Knight, TOOMER forged a ruthless path to the top of the underworld. TOOMER also reflects on a pivotal moment early in his career when he first encountered Cypress Hill. While working as a street team promoter, he salvaged the group's posters from the trash after a previous team abandoned them. His dedication impressed an executive, leading to his management of all future Cypress Hill marketing efforts. This opened doors to introductions with rap legends like Snoop Dogg, who admired TOOMER's daring TKO freeway spots. Much like SUGE Knight, TOOMER’s journey was defined by bold choices and an unyielding pursuit of influence.
