EXCLUSIVE: Ruthless Records' Producer Laylaw, Who Worked With N.W.A, Above The Law & More, Has Died
Compton's Most Wanted rapper Tha Chill confirmed the news on Thursday (January 12) in a statement to AllHipHop.

cool storyWow... I went to elementary school with him (Larry Goodman) in South Central LA. He was one year older than I was. I was in the same class as his brother "Amp" (Anthony Goodman). Amp was slangin'... he had a cold blooded 500 SEC back then... that shit was like a silvery blue... just bananas back then in the early 90s.
My younger cousins went to school with the younger brother "Go Mack." Go Mack was a member of "Above the Law" back in the day. I still bump "Black Superman."
Law actually produce Michelle's "Something in my Heart." I was with my cousin one night and we went to Hollywood to meet up with Law at some studio on Melrose. I met Def Jeff that night too. Jeff was working on Shaq's first album. He let us hear "You Know I Got Skills". Anyway I remember Law said, "They didn't want to use me on Michelle's second album." They didn't want to pay him. He was like, "Fuck'em. See if her ass can produce another hit that can surpass Something in My Heart without me on it."
He got the name LayLaw because he used to drive a school bus (part time) that had "Laid Law" on the side of it. So the homies in the hood used to call him "Lay Law" to clown him. But it was a wrap when he started producing.
R.I.P. Brother.
