Biography

The group was founded in 1995 with the strange idea of having a guitarist, Dava, in the group—very rare in hip-hop. They recorded two demos, the first entitled "Promo" in 1996 and the year after "Impacto". During their first years performing, they shared the stage with other performers like El Club de los Poetas Violentos and Los Trovadores de la Lírica Perdida, in addition to others.

They were able to reach a wider audience thanks to the collaboration with Nigromante in the disc "Comunicología vol. 1" from Dave Bee. Because of this, the group embarked on a tour throughout Spain, which gave them the opportunity to become better known. After they broke up, in 1998 they embarked on a combined tour with Jazz Two throughout Spain.

The group was signed by Avoid, thanks to the collaboration of Pacto E.C. in the maxi "Pura coincidencia" of Jazz Two. The group remained with the company until its dissolution. The first recording of the group under the label had a controversial title "España es una puta." The EP included four songs and their a capella and instrumental versions.

Their first and only LP was published in 1999 entitled "Memorandum", and it had a strong political message. There were collaborations with Dobleache, Lobo Loko, Nadia, Karras and X-tra swing. During the year 2000, they performed the disc at different festivals like Viñarock, Festizam o Madrifestival.

In 2001 the group broke up, and the members decided to perform solo. Since then, none of the members have recorded anything.
