Growing up on Eastside of Los Angeles during early Crips and Four Tray (...

Lowdown lived on 69th & San Pedro and on 43rd Street during the early 1970s and would see Raymond Washington (1953-1979) and Craig Craddock (1954-1972) and other Crips walk down San Pedro. When he was kid, Raymond Washington called LowDown, "Lil Country" because of his accent.

Low Down started hanging with the original Four Trays in the early 1970s at Wrigley Field, before they changed the name to Gilbert Lindsay Park. The Four Tray Gangster Crips were original known as 43 Avalon Baby Crips (ABC).
