Past_members =The Fab 5 is a Hip Hop group, consisting of
Heltah Skeltah (Rock and Ruck) andO.G.C. (Starang Wondah ,Louieville Sluggah and Top Dog). The group joined theBoot Camp Clik and signed a record deal withDuck Down Records in1995 . They released their debut single "Blah" b/w "Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka" later that year, with the B-Side "Leflah" becoming a surpriseBillboard Hot 100 hit in1995 . The two groups split up to release separate debut albums in1996 , withHeltah Skeltah dropping "Nocturnal" in June (including "Leflah"), andO.G.C. dropping "Da Storm " in October. "Da Storm" did not feature a Fab 5 track, and neither didHeltah Skeltah 's1998 second album "Magnum Force". The next "Fab 5" track came onO.G.C. 's1999 second effort "The M-Pire Shrikez Back ", on the song "Dirtiest Players in the Game", which was supposed to serve as a prelude to a full-length Fab 5 album. MultipleDuck Down Records releases noted plans for a Fab 5 album in the liner notes, with the album being named either "Simply Fabulous" or "Without the Freddy". The album was never released, due to Rock leavingDuck Down Records in1999 in pursuit of a solo career. All five took part in the latestBoot Camp Clik album "The Last Stand ", releasedJuly 18 ,2006 .Discography
