Bangin' on Wax or Bangin on Wax was a gangsta rap music project by both the Bloods and the Crips. At first it seemed impossible that the two rival gangs would collaborate on a music project but the impossible happened. The music project was organized by Los Angeles area producer Ron "Ronnie Ron" Phillips and rapper Tweedy Bird Loc. Actual gang members from both sides auditioned on a tryout and the best ones were chosen for the project. The album was released in 1993 on Warlock Records and was a success selling over 400,000 copies. There is also another album from the Bloods and the Crips on the Bangin' on Wax project titled Bangin' On Wax 2... The Saga Continues, which was released in 1994. After this album, however, the rappers who appeared on the albums began recording separate albums for Warlock Records, under the group names Nationwide Rip Ridaz (Crips) and Damu Ridas (Bloods).
