The group was part of the merenhouse/house-merengue/merengue-hip hop rhythm movement that emerged in New York. The pair fused that with Dominican merengue and other dance genres. Groups such as Proyecto Uno, Fulanito, Ilegales and El Cartel were part of this movement.
Sandy MC & MC Papo performed a version of the popular house El Mueve Mueve (I Like To Move It). They created the song Huelepega which served to promote the Venezuelan film of the same name, directed by Elia Schneider.
The group came to an end when on July 11, 1999 Luis Deschamps (MC Papo) died in a car accident. Sandy MC continued as a solo and received success with the song Homenaje a Papo. As of 2011 Sandy MC has been working on a new album.
