rap group.It was formed in 1989 in
São Paulo by "Nego", "Eduardo" and "Jurandir". Then "Nego" and "Jurandir" left the group and they were substituted by "Dum Dum" and "Garga".At the beginning of 1998 "Garga" left the band and "Erick 12" became a new member, but nowadays he is just the group's music producer.
