The self-titled album, recordedwhile both members were teensand released in 1990 on Columbia,failed to make much of an impacton the hip-hop world, but it held itsown when compared to otherconfrontational and politicallycharged album from Paris, X-Clan,and Lakim Shabazz.

The duo consisted of MC LordMustafa Hasan Ma'd and DJ KingBorn Khaaliq. They apparentlyparted ways after that.

project for that much. It was rootedenough to keep me around to

MOVEMENT EX

TABERNACLE MCzThe Apostle, Sweet Daddy Grace a.k.a Born Allah, is already a legend indelibly etched in the tablets of the underground Hip Hop scrolls. Daddy Grace formed his choppy self assured style as a member of Columbia recording duo, Movement EX alongside legendary DJ King Born. Born Allah started his West Coast domination as one of the many infamous miccontrollers from LA's world renowned Good Life Cafe. He is one of the forefathers of distinctive rhyme delivery and has crafted many adapted and badly imitated style structures alongside such underground notables as "Freestyle Fellowship", 2000 Crows to name a few.

Panama Redd also known as Deacon Dwindle Duckets came into the game straight from Central America hence the regionally inclined moniker. Hip hop became his new infatuation. When asked when he started his career as an emcee, he expressed that he had been a B-boy all of his life. He decided around the age of thirteen to actually put pen to paper and begin to build bars strategically and methodically. It was at this time that he also became a Left Coast representative. He crewed up with Funky Dialect which later became the multi-tentacled monster known as 2000 Crows. His affiliation with that conglomerate led him to the world famous Project Blowed, which is the offspring of The Good Life Café. The breeding ground for all things underground and organically Hip Hop in the early Nineties.

Shaheid, has been the spook who sat by the door in the L.A. underground scene as far back as the Good Life Café in the nineties and began to blossem as an artist during the glory days of Project Blowed. Growing up in Hawthorne he got the Knowledge of Self in his late teens and raised in the teachings of the 5% by Born Allah & the First Born of Los Angeles. So it only made perfect sense that he would be one of the first to hear the testimony of the New Gospel of Hip Hop like John heard the testimony of Christ in Revelations Chapter 1, verse 9.

He was a regular fixture at the famous open mic venue called the "Good Life Cafe". Which debuted other popular underground acts such as Volume 10, Jurassic 5, Freestyle Fellowship & the Pharcyde. As well as being featured in film, "This is the Life" about the venue.

Born Allah then went on to be a regular on the world famous, "Wake Up Show". Which was a mix show than help break the careers of such artist as Ras Kass, Xzibit, & Eminem. He then release a series of singles on Ill Boogie Records and did features for other artist such as Mykill Miers & Self Scientific.

His latest venture is his group Tabernacle MCz with the release of popular singles such as, "West, West" & "Silly". Now working on his solo LP.
