history
The group formed in 1991 after the breakthrough of the other rap collective from the US west coast, NWA .
Her debut album South Central Madness was released at the beginning of 1992 . There was already some genre specific attention and reached number 51 of the Top R & B / Hip-Hop Albums of Billboard magazine .
The breakthrough in the mainstream followed in 1994 with the release of the second long player 'N Gatz We Truss , which reached 32nd place on the Billboard 200 .
In the course of this success, the group signed a recording deal with Def Jam Recordings , which in 1997 released the third album All Day Everyday . After reaching position 178 in the US album charts, the label was no longer interested in further collaboration.
Therefore the fourth work Concrete Jungle, Vol. 1 was published independently . However, commercial significance was no longer achieved, just like with the numerous other albums that were released in the following years.
