Biography

Formed in 1990, Justice System began playing at high school talent shows and small venues. Soon after The Roots' 1993 Organix became popular as a jazz rap album, Rooftop Soundcheck was released on MCA Records. They were subsequently dropped from the label, despite good word of mouth and live shows. They would go on to release their next album, Uncharted Terrain, independently.
