Known for their socially conscious lyrics, they addressed issues like violence, racism, and politics, blending sharp commentary with innovative beats. Their music played a key role in shaping conscious rap and advocating for positive change in urban communities. The group gained recognition with hits like "My Philosophy" and "Stop the Violence."
