Why this name?
The original Founders of the Zambo Top Dogz were Raskullibur, El Pinador, Ram G.I.E. LanceHidden and Don Ramon started to have subsequent gatherings at the residence of Raskull in the Barrio of Tumaga Porcentro where they finally came up with the idea of forming a union of Hip Hop crews in Zamboanga, their intentions were noble that will strongly manifests the principle of ?Isang Mikropono?(One Mic), El Pinador on the other hand, quitted as a Soldier arrived at his hometown with the intentions of going back to the Rap Music where he was convinced by Don Ramon during the anniversary of their Frat, along with LanceHidden likewise convinced Ram G.I.E. where he previously teamed up with El Pinador made the same way and recorded some first few tracks. The name was derived from the Song Top Dogz of the European Rap Group the Looptroop including from the Movie Scarface where Tony Montana met with the Top Dogs of Colombia as well as the rising of Pinoy flavored Hip Hop influences such as the Ghetto Dogz, Death Threat, Legit Misfits, Chinese Mafia, Mastaplann, DFT and Etc. gave the group an idea of forming a name which the styles were based upon and consolidated therefrom, Since Dogs were famous creature in Hip Hop culture, it is understood that the term used would reflect Hip Hop in totality, Since they represent their own each other?s crews, the name established has a convincing probability that suits it best.
Do you play live?
yes. anywhere anytime, it just pops out along the way.. then poof that's it!! of course if we're talking money then definitely we play live.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it has both negative and positive changes since the existence of MP3's and stuff.... it helped make songs more accessible however it also pulls down the economy in records marketing... just opinion...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
if there would be any... yep, why not?
Band History:
The Underground Rap scene of the Top Dogz actually started as early as 1993 from the Group called Skully Klann led by Raskull which later on met and collaborated with Pioneer Rappers like Ghost-13, Diorap, L-Sabor, Blanktape, Owen and DJ Medmessiah together with El Pinador during their college days that ignited a spark in pursuing a dream of having a Solid Rap Group that will represent the youth and partying along in the streets of Zamboanga. In the mid 90?s, one of the famous television noon time show the Zambo Jambo organized an activity for entertainment which is the Zamboanga's first RAP attack that gave way to connect the different Rap groups who were present during that time. Raskull came from Skully Klann formely from Ghost 13 as well as El Pinador but later formed Versikulo Dos, Lance Hidden from Siento Elebien, Ram G.I.E. from ZCFlips Soldiers, Don Ramon from Deft Avenue and made their solid alliance after the fall of Hip Hop in Zamboanga during the late 90?s and early 2000, as their struggle continues, they met along the way a young Disc Jockey named Renmark and agreed to join the Group as a cornerstone of the Hip Hop Culture.
