A hip-hop group from the early '90s whose sound mixed jazz and funk.
For their sound, check 'Pon De Attack.' For where they started, the track '3 MCs' from that first Prince Paul-produced album tells you plenty.
They came out of Brooklyn in 1991 with 'Gravity,' an album produced by Prince Paul. That record had '3 MCs,' and later tracks like 'Pon De Attack' showed their blend of jazz samples and funk grooves. They were part of that early '90s wave where hip-hop was pulling from different corners of the record crate.
Their first album, 'Gravity,' landed in 1991. They put out a second one in 1996 called 'Lyricist Lounge, Volume One.' The group was Lord Have Mercy, Ras Kass, and Chali 2na.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
