40 BOYZ RECORDS® STARTED WHEN JOHNDOE, WAYNE LOW, FRANCHISE AND H.BLOW STARTED UP A GROUP CALLED U BLOCK® . THE U STANDING FOR THE STREET THEY GREW UP ON UNWIN RD. THEY RECORDED 4 TRACKS AND 3 INSTRUMENTALS ON A CD AND CALLED IT THE U BLOCK GENESIS. THE DEMO STARTED A CRAZY THROUGH THE HOOD. I GUESS THE STREETS WANTED MORE.
