Biography
Biography
Curtis Williams (born January 19, 1976), more commonly known as Spider Loc, is an American rapper and actor. He was formerly signed to Interscope Records and 50 Cent's G-Unit Records.
Biography
Spider Loc was discovered by Suge Knight and tagged along with Death Row Records, he later appeared on the Death Row Records released soundtrack to the movie Dysfunktional Family soundtrack, and also was affiliated with Kurupt's Against Tha Grain record label under the name "Spider", but never signed an agreement. In September 2004 Spider Loc met rapper Young Buck in Atlanta and performed for him. A week later in Los Angeles, Young Buck introduced him to 50 Cent on the set of the "Shorty Wanna Ride" video and he performed a freestyle rap. After four months the rapper signed a record deal with G-Unit.
Spider Loc has since been featured on many G-Unit mixtapes such as G-Unit Radio Part 18 - Rags to Riches and has also released his own mixtape G-Unit West title Bangadoshish with artists Young Buck, Big Syke (from Thug Life), 50 Cent, and Olivia.
In September 2007, he released a street album, West Kept Secret: The PrequelWest Kept Secret: The PrequelSpotifyYouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 15 tracks1SPI2:222Blutiful World4:043Big Blacc Boots3:024Get Right Down2:215Sometimes2:486All I Know2:537Look at Me2:288Make You Love Me2:559Russ2:4010Hustle to You Come Up4:2411Hold On2:3712Close to the Edge1:5613Cry and Cry2:4914I Like2:0115Blutiful World (remix)3:56 and the following June released a follow-up project Da 1 U Luv 2 Hate.
In an interview with HipHopDX released March 27, 2011, Spider Loc confirmed that he is still signed to G-Unit and did not move to EMI. In 2011 Spider stated that G-Unit West was back and up and running with the arrival of Slim da Mobster.
Spider Loc was dropped from G-Unit in late 2011.
On June 8, 2017, Spider Loc appeared on the game show Wheel of Fortune. During the episode, he stated he is currently employed as a security officer and is the father of 6 kids. He also runs his own record label, BAYMAAC Records.
In 2022 he launched a podcast entitled "Factz Ova Feelinz" on Alex Alonso's Street TV Network.
Controversies
In 2005, while Spider Loc and friends were engaged in a fight with rapper Yukmouth and his companions in a Los Angeles nightclub, one of Spider Loc's friends stole jewelry from Yukmouth, which was later ransomed by its owner, Yukmouth. Yukmouth has said that the two have made up.
In July 2008, Spider Loc, 40 Glocc, Village Boo and a large number of Crips are seen on a YouTube video taunting Lil Wayne, Birdman and Slim of Cash Money Records. Lil Wayne was leaving his "Get Money" video shoot in Los Angeles when his two SUV's were blocked off by surrounding cars on a one way street. Spider Loc is seen walking around the cars and banging on the windows.
