Biography
Emerging from the Bay Area, the trio first appeared in 1992 on Cold World Hustlers' album Cold Streets with the song "Ni*** Took." They subsequently featured in 1994 on Primo's Stickin' to the Script with the track "Killa." Their initial album, Fiendin' 4 tha Funk (1995), experienced modest sales beyond their regional base but managed to secure the #76 spot on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The follow-up release in 1996, A-1 Yola, attained higher commercial recognition, reaching #33 on the same chart and climbing to #22 on the Top Heatseekers chart. Over the course of their career, they issued two more studio albums—The Overdose (1999) and After the Drama (2001)—alongside two compilation records before their dissolution in 2001.
