Dank Squad is a Rap/Hip-Hop group stemming from 3 different bureaus in New York; Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Queens. And all ending up together in a shitty town called Queensbury in Upstate New York. Dank Squad was originally formed as a clique of tight knit friends in our early High School years. Sean SpeeZy and WillyTweed started rapping in their freshman year in Highschool, ironically influenced by terrible rappers.
"I got tired of hearing kids try to battle each other and being absolutely terrible at it, so I went home one day and wrote a diss to all of them, and destroyed them. It became a passion of mine from there on." ~SpeeZy
Another large influence was a group called "HydroClick" from WillyTweeds home town which contained two of his cousins. Everyone in Dank Squad used to listen to their music religiously. Dank Squad started by recording on a stock computer mic with terrible quality, just to get music laid down. They later upped their quality and started working with Dru from "One Shot Entertainment."
"Dank Squad started getting a lot recognition after we won a battle with another local group. We still get approached about it to this day." ~SpeeZy
They moved on and started rapping with a crew called "SuSpect Enterprises." That fell through and Dank Squad was reformed in 2008 with Sean SpeeZy, WillyTweed, and Scary Movie. They are currently working on their new mixtape titled "Headed For Hell" which will feature a good sized track list of new music and will be released in 2010.

Why this name?
We've been callin' ourselves Dank Sqaud since we was young, hustlin' off the porch. The kind of sh*** where you have a flawless system and you felt untouchable.
Do you play live?
Couple live shows in some clubs. Spitting at parties and jaw dropping people when the lyrics come out.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Anyone bashin' this sh*** is missin' somethin' crucial upstairs. I wouldn't be able to promote our stuff nearly as much without stuff like this.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
What... you stupid or somethin? Of course.
Band History:
All of us have been chillin' for years. Our crew gradually grows, whether its friends or new MC's. Dank Squad is an unstoppable army.
Your influences?
Terrible rappers (ironically) because we know we could do better than half the sh*** we hear. HydroClick, Eminem, DZK, and plenty of other artists that don't totally suck.
Favorite spot?
NYC, NJ
Equipment used:
uh.. Some really expensive mic, and some expensive mixer board... and some expensive headphones..... and uh... a couple other things...
