Foreign Legion is a hip hop crew from Oakland, California. Prozack (Zack Turner) and DJ Design (Keith Griego) made demos together in high school. The group was completed when Marc Stretch (Damon Tisdale, previously known as Go-Go and Peter Parker) joined the crew.

They released their first album, "Kidnapper Van: Beats To Rock While Bike-Stealin" in 2000. Prozac's former hobby inspired the album title. Laced with SP 12 beats and lyrics highly critical of both mainstream and underground hip hop, the record enjoyed heavy rotation on college radio.

Their second album, "Playtight", was released on DJ Design's Look Records label in 2002. He called it their "club record".

Prozack stated in an interview that DJ Design amicably left the group in 2007 due to musical differences. DJ Flip, an Irish DJ who collaborated with Prozack on his 2006 release Bangathon, took over the turntables for Foreign Legion. The group released an EP, The "Secret Knock", in March 2008.
