J.J. Fad Joined By N.W.A's DJ Yella, Arabian Prince + More For Street-Naming Honor In Rialto

June 12, 2022

Rialto, CA – As the First Ladies of Ruthless Records, MC JB, Baby D and Sassy C — collectively known as J.J. Fad — made history as the first Hip Hop group with a gold record and first female rap group to be nominated for a Grammy Award for their timeless single “Supersonic.”

The trio also helped open the gates for N.W.A to break into the mainstream with their controversial West Coast gangsta rap. Eazy-E instinctively knew they had to soften the blow with a more digestible artist before Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, DJ Yella and the rest of the crew could shake things up with “Fuck Tha Police” and other pioneering street anthems of that era.



On Saturday (June 11), J.J. Fad was honored with their own street sign in their hometown of Rialto, California. Joined by N.W.A alum DJ Yella and Arabian Prince (who continues to DJ with J.J. Fad) and World Class Wreckin’ Cru’s Lonzo Williams and Cli-N-Tel, J.J. Fad watched as the San Bernardino County officials unveiled J.J. Fad Way. It was a moment MC JB will never forget.

Aside from the street-naming itself, MC JB notes how J.J. Fad Way will cement their legacy for the rest of their lives and beyond.

J.J. Fad joins Big L, The Notorious B.I.G., MF DOOM, Big Pun, Phife Dawg and several other Hip Hop legends who’ve had streets renamed in their honor. Sadly, some are no longer alive to see it in person, but their namesakes live on.
