The day before the street unveiling, Council member McOsker presented Top Dawg with a Certificate of Recognition from the Los Angeles City Council in a special ceremony. In a social media post, McOsker praised Top Dawg for his transformative impact on the Watts community, where he grew up in the Nickerson Gardens housing development. As the founder of T.D.E., Top Dawg has uplifted local talent and instilled a sense of pride in the Watts community.
Top Dawg's journey to success has been nothing short of inspiring. Raised in the projects, he faced many challenges, but his determination to make a difference in his community never wavered. In 2004, he established Top Dawg Entertainment, which quickly became a home for talented artists such as Kendrick Lamar, S.Z.A., ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Isaiah Rashad. He even built a recording studio, known as the "House of Pain," to provide a platform for his artists to showcase their talents.
During the recognition ceremony, an emotional Top Dawg expressed his gratitude, stating that he never imagined having a street named after him in the City Council. He also shared his humble beginnings and his vision to give back to his community. His efforts have not gone unnoticed, as Top Dawg Entertainment's Jay Rock, the label's first signee, became the first Watts resident to win a Grammy Award, as reported by K.N.X. News.
