Background
They formed in 1993 and were due to release an EP in early '94, but it was cancelled a few months prior.[2] Very rare record test pressings are all that remain, however, several tracks have been uploaded to YouTube. (see referenced playlist)[3] They were heavily involved with MC Eiht featuring C.M.W.'s 1994 & '96 albums, We Come Strapped & Death Threatz.[4]
