Once upon a time ( 1997 ) in a small village called Hoeilaart ( South east brussels ) a new entity formed following the rails of the hip hop train. This team consisting of 5 members, namely Kandu,Fonky Fresh,Face, Woody Woodburne and Amangu did not arise from the streets of the ghetto like most hip hop groups but arose from a quiet suburban atmosphere. The music came was therefore very different from the general idea of rap music. Subjects as oppression and social exclusion would be replaced by more universal subjects such as energy flowing, raps about nature, good times andsubjects that every human being could relate to.

In the year 2000 Woody Woodburne moved to Dublin Ireland, going back to his roots. Even though he was living in a different country communication with internet made it possible. On the 23rd of February tragedy struck as our DJ Kandu passed away due to a car accident. The loss of our DJ and close freind was hard to bear and defenetly slowed our project down. Shortly after this misfortune Garlik joined the crew. His singing brought a new undeniable fresh touch to the music.
