Two-thirds of the population consisted of the children of GIs. At the end of 1994 the group was the support act for Megavier on stage. Later followed u. a. also festival appearances at the hip-hop festival in Strombad (Cottbus, 1998) and the "Rock am See" (Losheim am See, 1998).

style

With their debut, the group released, according to the intro, "a very variable, weird and conscious hip-hop album", which was characterized by a "relaxed groove with good beats" and "borrowings from funk and jazz". In addition, “willingness to experiment” and “individual style” were used as catchwords in the meeting.

The TAZ reviewer was more critical. From his point of view, the debut, which is “based more on the US models than on the German scene”, shines “not through new ideas, but rather through an accomplished implementation of old achievements”.

From Focus the band of style was crossover assigned, as well as H-Blockx , Mr. Ed Jumps the Gun and a Surge .
