Career
Eric Garcia was born January 3, 1964, to Honduran parents and grew up in Brooklyn, New York with his brother Henry. They both appeared in the 1985 film Rappin' alongside Ice-T. They removed to the West Coast and joined Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate, wherein Eric provided scratches serving as a deejay.[citation needed] Evil E appeared on the front covers of Ice-T's first two albums.
He appeared on the spoken word track "Evil E-What About Sex?" on the Ice-T's O.G. Original Gangster album, and raps on Ice-T's track "Pimp Behind the Wheels" on the Home Invasion album.[2] Later on, in 1991, he released a full-length album with Hen-Gee, titled Brothers (Pendulum/Elektra),[3][4] which spawned singles: "Lil Trig" (peaked at #15 on the Hot Rap Songs)[5] and "If U Were Mine" (peaked at #85 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs).[6]
Evil E and Hen-Gee were managed by Guy Oseary, an independent Artists and Repertoire (A&R) representative in 1989.[7]
Although Evil E's contribution to Ice-T's records became less prominent after 1993, he was still touring with Ice-T as late as 2018.[8]
