Biography

The group went through a number of different group members before becoming the trio of Ubiquitous, Godemis and Sorceress in the early 2000s.[1] In 2004, the group released its debut album, Capture Enemy Soldiers.[1] But while promoting the project, Sorceress wanted to fire the group’s then-manager. Ubiquitous and Godemis disagreed, and Sorceress departed the group. The impact of Sorceress’ exodus was immediate and significant.[1] They returned as a duo in 2009 with The Playground, an album they hand delivered to Strange Music label boss Tech N9ne when he witnessed the group opening for Devin the Dude at a Kansas City show.[1] Tech signed them to Strange Music in January 2012, and eight months later they released their Strange Music debut, the 13 EP on August 28, 2012.[2] On March 26, 2013, the duo released their third album Constant Energy Struggles.[3] The album debuted at number 96 on the Billboard 200.[4]
