Before the solo run, they were one name in somebody`s group. Most fans never knew. Which one shocked you? 👇

🎤 Future came up as "Meathead" in Da Connect, in his cousin Rico Wade`s basement. The Dungeon.

🎤 Busta Rhymes led Leaders of the New School. Their debut dropped July 2, 1991. One closing verse on Tribe`s "Scenario" and the solo career was on.

🎤 Snoop, Warren G and Nate Dogg were 213, named for Long Beach`s old area code. The group album took until 2004.

🎤 Missy sang in Sista with early Timbaland production. Shelved in the 90s, streaming in 2017.

In 1996 Jeru the Damaja wrote a song where Hip-Hop gets kidnapped and forced into a Versace suit. Then he went to get it back. 🧱

Wrath of the Math hit 30 this week. Released October 15, 1996, and every beat is DJ Premier. No co-producers. 🎛️

The liner notes didn`t play: "This album was created to SAVE hip-hop." On "One Day," Jeru calls out Bad Boy and Death Row by name, right at the height of the shiny-suit era. 🔥

Jewel: the Fugees beef. Pras jabbed "false prophet" on "Zealots," Jeru fired back on "Black Cowboys." 🎯

LL asked Canibus to rewrite his verse. Canibus did. LL kept his shots in. That`s how the mic tattoo beef was born. 🎤🔥

Phenomenon dropped Oct 14, 1997 on Def Jam. Debuted at No. 7, went Platinum. But heads remember it for track 7.

"4, 3, 2, 1" was an Erick Sermon posse cut with Method Man, Redman, DMX (months before It`s Dark and Hell Is Hot) and a newcomer named Canibus. 💿

The original verse leaked. Canibus got cut from the first video. Then came "Second Round K.O." with Mike Tyson in the booth. 🥊

One producer. One whole Wu-Tang album. Mathematics, the man who drew the W, laid every beat on The Saga Continues 🐝

Released October 13, 2017. Look at the credit: "Wu-Tang," not "Wu-Tang Clan." U-God was out over royalties, and Math said it plain: no complete Clan album without him.

RZA took the exec seat and handed Math the canvas. Kung-fu dialogue between bars, Redman on both singles 🔥

The heavy one is "Pearl Harbor." Ghost, Meth, RZA and Sean Price. Sean P passed in August 2015, so that verse landed two years after he was gone 🕊️

Mos Def didn`t just rap on Black on Both Sides. He played the bass, congas, keys and drums too. 27 years deep. 🎸🥁

October 12, 1999. Rawkus. Premier on "Mathematics," Ayatollah flipping Aretha for "Ms. Fat Booty."

🎹 Deepest receipt: Weldon Irvine, who wrote the words to "To Be Young, Gifted and Black," mentored Mos and played on the record.

🏆 Gold in under four months. No radio crossover needed.

Cormega rapped on "Affirmative Action" as part of The Firm. He was gone before the album`s first session. Here`s the lore 📞

Nas, AZ, Foxy Brown and Mega linked on It Was Written in 1996. By recording time, Nature had his seat.

October 21, 1997: The Album debuts at No. 1, 147K week one. "Phone Tap," a Dre beat, never charted and still became their signature.

Beef on wax, then Times Square 2006: Nas, Mega and Foxy on one stage. In 2020 "Full Circle" finally gave Cormega his Firm verse 👑

12 years old, writing a rap about a boyfriend lost to crack. 16 when she cut it. MC Lyte saw the epidemic before the industry did. 🎤

Born October 11, 1970 in Queens, raised in East Flatbush. "I Cram to Understand U (Sam)" led off Lyte as a Rock (1988), widely called the first full-length solo album by a woman MC. 💿

Then "10% Dis." Then "Ruffneck," the first Gold plaque for a solo woman rapper. Every woman MC who went platinum after walks a road Lyte paved. 👑
