The '''LBC Crew''' ('''Long Beach City Crew''') was a [hip-hop](/source/hip_hop_music) trio from [Long Beach, California](/source/Long_Beach%2C_California).[{{Cite web |last=Rae |first=Jackie |date=2023-07-05 |title=Rapper Techniec talks Long Beach's legacy in hip-hop, faith, family and staying grounded |url=https://lbpost.com/news/rapper-techniec-long-beach-the-word-interview-jackie-rae/ |access-date=2025-02-02 |website=Long Beach Post News |language=en-US}}][{{Cite web |last=Rokos |first=Brian |date=2019-11-13 |title=Rapper, known for work with Snoop Dogg and others, dies while in Riverside County sheriff's custody |url=https://www.pressenterprise.com/2019/11/12/rapper-known-for-work-with-snoop-dogg-and-others-dies-while-in-riverside-county-sheriffs-custody/ |url-status=dead |access-date=2025-02-02 |website=Press Enterprise |language=en-US |archive-date=January 25, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250125140330/https://www.pressenterprise.com/2019/11/12/rapper-known-for-work-with-snoop-dogg-and-others-dies-while-in-riverside-county-sheriffs-custody/ }}] They were the first act to be executively-produced by [Snoop Dogg](/source/Snoop_Dogg).
During their time with Death Row, the LBC Crew recorded a previously unreleased album entitled ''Haven't U Heard...'' which remained unreleased until February 8, 2011 when it was released by WideAwake/Death Row. They had a hit single with the song "[Beware of My Crew](/source/Beware_of_My_Crew)", from the [''A Thin Line Between Love and Hate'' soundtrack album](/source/A_Thin_Line_Between_Love_and_Hate_(soundtrack)), which was originally intended to be for their debut album. They were featured on Snoop Dogg's second album ''[Tha Doggfather](/source/Tha_Doggfather)''. The group disbanded following the collapse of Death Row. Since then, unreleased material from the group emerged on the underground.
The LBC Crew remained visible figures in West-Coast hip-hop. Bad Azz released two solo albums under the Doggy Style imprint. Lil C-Style remained part of disorganized Death Row camp. Techniec signed to [The Game](/source/The_Game_(rapper))'s [The Black Wall Street Records](/source/The_Black_Wall_Street_Records), then left to start his own label.
==Break-up==
Early on in the LBC Crew's lifespan, a small dispute broke out between Lil' C-Style and Snoop Dogg over C-Style's royalties (he claimed he wasn't being paid enough for them). The argument was never settled, resulting in C-Style damaging the original tape of LBC's debut album beyond repair, and telling Snoop he no longer wanted to be part of the group.[[http://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/snoopdogg07/part4/ dubcnn.com // Snoop Dogg Interview Part 4 (January 2007) // West Coast News Network //]]
