California storage buyers come across belongings that may have ties to MC Hammer, other artists
Modesto TikTok users who posts storage unit finds bought a storage unit in Tracy that is believed to have once belonged to legendary artist MC Hammer.
The storage unit had parachute pants, a couple of fur coats, an old Mac computer and over 30 master tapes labeled Death Row Records with possible unreleased music from MC Hammer, DJ Quick and Snoop Dogg.
“In the pictures it just looked like a bunch of clothes laying in the back of the unit,” Alex Stevens told FOX40 News. “We buy them all the time for a little, $5, no brainer pick it up for five making 100-200 bucks and move on about your business and this would just happen to be different.”

But the guys who bought the storage unit aren’t 100% convinced it has ties to the artists.
“Until I actually hear from MC Hammer himself or Snoop Dogg, I don’t believe it,” Alex Stevens told FOX40 news. “People claim to be managers, but all we have is the documentation, the tapes, and people are contacting me affiliated with them. So obviously, something’s going on to where it’s related.”
Stevens and Andrew Cordova, who go by Central Valley Picker on TikTok, said they have been in contact with people claiming to be from Death Row Records, the music label MC Hammer was signed to in the 1990s.
Those who claimed to be from the label have contacted the guys about acquiring some of the stuff, but they have not yet agreed on a deal.

Stevens and Cordova believe the items in the storage could be worth millions, creating a massive opportunity from a unit they paid $30 for.
“It’s amazing you just don’t know what you’re gonna find when you get inside the unit but this is probably one of our most amazing finds.” Cordova said.
In response to a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, a verified account belonging to MC Hammer said “if this be truth a man spent $50 for such a gift are they not his? God bless him.”
FOX40 reached out to MC Hammer and Death Row Records over social media, but have not yet received a response.
