Does anybody know the story behind Pistol?

[Codeine]

Does anybody know how Pistol hooked up with Eazy-E/Ruthless Records to release his first LP "Hittin Like A Bullet"? I have always wondered how that came together.

Back when he discovered Pistol he was doing a nationwide search for new talent...He signed a lot of groups at the time including Bone....He threw them all out there and Bone sold the best so they got the push and the rest were just thrown to the shelves...

Yeah, I remember Eazy went around a signed a few acts from Tenn, St. Louis, Cleveland, Toloedo, and ect....

I just wanted to know who in his group had the hook up for Eazy to give a listen?

Thanks for the info.
