Biography
The members of GS Boyz first connected while attending Bowie High School in Arlington.[2] Their early regional successes featured tracks such as "Hit the G-Spot," "Twisted," and "He Don't Deserve You." In November 2008, they secured a deal with Yung Joc's Swagg Team Entertainment.[3] Prior to signing with a major label, "Stanky Legg" climbed to #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached #7 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart. The music video for the song claimed the top spot on BET's 106 & Park countdown in February 2009.[4] A remix of "Stanky Legg" featuring Trina was also released.[4] The song draws inspiration from a dance movement native to Dallas.[5]
MTV News has described the "Stanky Legg" dance as part of Dallas's "D-Town Boogie" culture. GS Boyz showcased this dance on Snoop Dogg's MTV talk show, Dogg After Dark, highlighting their versatility beyond just dance-oriented music.[5][2]
By 2018, after encountering legal challenges, the group had been reduced to two members: Mr. Marc D and Slizz.[6]
