Why this name?
The word oversat a play on words meaning the opposite of understood. It also means "to translate" in Dutch.
Do you play live?
We have been burning up the local scene, also check out our new tour, the "Tennessee Safety Tour" inwhich we will be spreading brain injury awareness and of course dirty south rap!!!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
One Word: Exposure
Example: look up Oversat Crew on yahoo.com and get the DL on what we are about to do.
Everyone with a computer now has access to anything you post. The secret is out!!

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We now have 2 offers on the table and a 3rd that we turned down in ATL with your boy JD's label. We are still open to others as the buzz around us increases.

Band History:
Pre-2000:
The Oversat Crew is a rap group based in Knoxville, TN. The core members are Jeremiah LongBear, King Doug, Alka-JonHall-ik, and T.G. Gutter. The Oversat Crew was formed when members of The Oversat, a metal band from Knoxville and T.G. Gutter began working on a rap project that gained national attention through mixtapes, and college radio airplay, and collabs with then local artist M.O.B affiliated and Young Buck from Nashville.
Jeremiah LongBear started out playing bass with his band, The Oversat in 1996. LongBear began lacing the beats for local artist in 1998 and did his first solo project "DJ Knox-villan Presents: Dirty South Feed the Mixtape" Since then he has collaborated with other DJ's to get the Oversat to the front lines of Unsigned but Hype.
King Doug has been street rapper since 1992 when he moved from Jackson, Mississippi appearing on mixtapes since he was 14yrs. After breaking his first contract with Run the Streets Records in 1997, Doug began the hard grind finding a new label finally joining as new drummer for the power violence metal band, The Oversat. Even though he freestyle half his verses, he is tighter than half the radio rappers.
T.G. Gutter has always been rapping. Since talent shows performing original material in 1992, T.G. has been perfecting his quick, witty style of delivery. Turbo got the shaft after winning a 1998 freestyle contest in Daytona Beach where he was told that , though the winner of the 5,000+ participant battle, the promoting label would not let him open-up for No limit the next night. Stating the reason: "We don't think a white rapper would sell tickets". After the set back at Daytona, T.G. released a 3 song demo called "straight from the gutter". LongBear, then a fellow high school student, heard the powerful lyrics of and immediately began producing beats for a full length solo project, "Still in the Gutter" Tracks off of T.G.'s underground solo album can be heard on the 2000 "DJ East Coast: New York to Nashville the mixtape" which included freestyle tracks from then unsigned rapper 50 cent, and Red Cafe from New York, Turbo G (T.G. Gutter) and Young Buck from Tennessee also other unsigned New York/Tennessee rappers. Listen for Turbo G to appear on Mancow's Morning Madhouse.
Alka-JonHall-ik was the original singer for the Oversat. His genius and talent got them into quite a few misadventures(crazy sh*t). Now he lives in Iraq, fighting in the war on Terrorism. He drives a Stryker, basically a big gun. He signed that line for the A-R-M-Y. Stay safe, and hardcore out there Specialist Hall, Oversat and A-unit for life. "cheat death or die tryin'":Alka-Jon. After a breif leave to see his newly born baby girl Jon is back in Iraq, so look for the REMIX back to Iraq coming soon!!!
