His fame came with the hit singles Daddy I'm In Love With a Gangsta and Here Comes The Knightowl.
In 1994, Eazy-E, founder of Ruthless Records and member of NWA was going to sign Knightowl, DJ Mikeski and Mr. Lil One from South San Diego as a weapon against DeathRow Records, Suge Knight and Dr. Dre.
Knightowl, one of the biggest names in Chicano rap, worked with prominent artists throughout his career: Big Syke, Daz Dillinger, Kid Frost, Eazy-E, Lil Rob, Mr Criminal, David Salas, and 2Pac in an unreleased track along with Big Syke and The Outlawz.
In 2000, Knightowl formed a duo with "Mr. Lil' One" for the Hollow-point collaborative venture, which released The Little & The Owl album.
He was considered one of the West Coast's top gangsta rappers.
