Funk Mobb was a rap ensemble originating from the Bay Area, featuring members K-1, G-Note, and Mac Shawn. The trio was affiliated with Sick Wid It Records and Jive Records throughout their career spanning 1994 to 1998. Their initial appearance was on Little Bruce's album XXXtra Mannish, followed by the release of their only album, It Ain't 4 Play (1996). This record reached number 46 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and climbed to number 28 on the Top Heatseekers list. Following the group's dissolution, Mac Shawn pursued a solo path with two albums: Music fo' the Mobb in 1997 and Worldwide Bosses and Playas in 2001, as well as a brief tenure with Death Row Records. In 1999, G-Note signed to No Limit Records, adopted the stage name Lil Italy, and launched his solo career with the album On Top of da World.
