Band History:

Da Niggaz AKA Hypereality was formed in '97. The crew started as just friends that wanted to make a freestyle tape. Eventually it led to full songs, then an album till now. Members are all over north america. About 2 are in Antigua, two in Florida, one in Jersey, one in Calgary and two in Toronto (myself being one of them). Whenever we get together, we try and do a track or two. Myself and DJ Quickie are the main producers and we eMCee. Everyone else (Infared, Scientific, Masked Marauder, Esco, Shogun & Dew Dust) eMCees. Infared did do the loop for force to be dealt wit'. We do these songs because we love them.

Now I'm reppin' BlackHole Entertainment and I still got love for Hypereality.
