In the Oakland Coliseum parking lot the young Burrell would sell stray baseballs and dance accompanied by a beatboxer. Oakland A’s team owner Charles O. Finley saw the 11-year-old doing splits and hired him as a clubhouse assistant and batboy as a result of his energy and flair. Burrell served as a “batboy” with the team from 1973 to 1980. In 2010, Hammer discussed his lifelong involvement with athletes on ESPN’s First Take as well as explained that his brother Louis Burrell Jr. (who would later become Hammer’s business manager) was actually the batboy while his job was to take calls and do “play-by-plays” for the A’s absentee owner during every summer game. The colorful Finley, who lived in Chicago, used the child as his “eyes and ears.” Reggie Jackson, in describing Burrell’s role for Finley, took credit for his nickname:

Hammer’s relationship with Suge Knight dates back to 1988. Hammer signed with Death Row Records by 1995, then home to Snoop Dogg and his close friend, Tupac Shakur.

However, Burrell did record tracks with Shakur and others, most notably the song “Too Late Playa” (along with Big Daddy Kane and Danny Boy). After the death of Shakur in 1996, Burrell left the record company. He later explained his concern about this circumstance in an interview on Trinity Broadcasting Network since he was in Las Vegas with Tupac the night of his death.
