"Gangsta
Lean" is a song by American R&B group DRS,
from their 1993 debut album Gangsta Lean.
It spent six weeks at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and peaked
at #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100[1]. Its
highest peak was on the New
Zealand Singles Chart, where it spent three weeks at #1.
The song heavily references the
phrase "gangsta lean", coined by American singer William DeVaughn and
first heard on his 1974 song "Be Thankful for What You Got".
Primarily, based on the terminology, it opens up with a dedication "to
my homies" (an urban term for "friends"), who lost their
lives in tragic situations related to inner city life.
The song/album was released under Hammer's management
company, Roll Wit It Entertainment.[1][2] The
top selling song of the year at the time, "Gangsta Lean" has sold
over 2.5 million copies with over 2 million views on Youtube.[3]
