Career
Eric Garcia was born January 3, 1964 to Honduran parents and grew up in Brooklyn, New York with his brother Henry. They removed to the West Coast and joined Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate, wherein Eric provided scratches serving as a deejay.[2]
He appeared on the spoken word track "Evil E-What About Sex?" on the Ice-T's O.G.
