{{Authority control}}
The '''Damu Ridas''' were an assortment of [[Bloods]] gang members from [[South Los Angeles]] who recorded the [[Bloods & Crips]] collaboration albums ''[[Bangin' on Wax]]'' and ''[[Bangin' on Wax 2... The Saga Continues]]''. After ''Bangin' on Wax'' albums were made, the Bloods & Crips split up. The Bloods members formed the Damu Ridas, as well as the Crip members formed [[Nationwide Rip Ridaz]]. Most of the members are deceased. RedRum781 is related to rapper [[Kurupt]], though the two have a long time feud. During the Death Row days, RedRum781 signed to [[Death Row Records]], the same label where Kurupt was in at the time.
