symbolism combined with impressionist poetry on the verbal side and dark driving hard beats

on the other with the futuristic scratches of Mix Master Mike and Dj Abert, production done by

Apollo Novicio. The group opened shows for several groups such as Gang Starr, Organized

Konfusion, Cypress Hill, Special Ed & De La Soul. The group disbanded unfortunately in the early

became a father and though still musically involved with various bands primarily focused on

fatherhood. 2014 marks Nim Ones return to the music with his album The 13 Disciple.
