The Thuglordz was created by Yukmouth & C-bo in 2000. The two always herd about each other albums & rappin skills from Hommies, but never met until they were label mates on Noo Trybe/Virgin records. They met & instantly clicked. C-bo Goes went jail for violating his parole with his album Lyrics. C-bo gets out & starts his own record label, Westcoast Mafia Records. By this time Yukmouth is working on his 2nd album “Thuglord”! Yuk linked up with C-bo & did a few colabos on both Yukmouth & C-bo’s upcoming solo albums. The albums drop & the streets love the 2 colabos, so C-bo & Yuk decide to do a group album like Redman & Method Man called the “Thuglordz”! The name coming from the title of Yuk’s album, to start recording the album. Right in the middle of recording the album, C-bo goes back to jail again on other charges. Now that C-bos in jail, the “thuglordz” album was turned into “the Blocc movement” which is C-bo & Brotha Lynch Hung. Songs Yuk was on, was changed & replaced with Brotha Lynch verses & some of Yuk’s verses stayed on the album. C-bo gets out 9 months later & inks a distribution deal with Navarra & Yuk inks a distribution deal with Rap A Lot. they both put out projects on their labels & then quickly link back up to record the Thuglordz album again. C-bo outta jail & yukmouth off tour, they record & finish the album in less than a month! With a introduction song on Yukmouth’s “godzilla” it’s pretty clear what type of shit they on! “Mob with us or get ran the fuck over”! Thuglordz, the hardest rappers from Sacramento to Oakland makin money together & mashin! Thuglordz the album “In Thuz We Trust” In stores now!

Freako was the leader of the group The Ghetto Starz with Scoob Nitty, Dubb 20 & Uzi. He was also the leader of the Super natural Camp which was composed of a whole host of young artists from Pittsburg,CA. Alot of them can be heard on this album which unfortunaty leaves less room for freako to drop his poetic ryhmes. The first thing that grabs you as you hear the sober first track is the pain, harshness and sincerity in freakos voice and rhymes. This is best reflected in the classic tracks Autobiograpic,Voices & Dedication. Freako also brings his surroundings to life in the upbeat gritty tracks like BleedingHarts & Million Dollar nigga. But also takes the smooth approach in tracks like Outta space & The Life, while reaching out to his younger brethrin in tracks like United, going to fast & thug wit us. The stronger appearances come from Mac Dre, Rydah j Klyde (mob Figaz), Ap9 (Mob Figaz) & his Ghetto Starz group. And while some of the younger super natural Fam drop some nice verses others are forgetable. This a classic album minus a couple of filler tracks and a few features to many as Freako could have made a better album by himself but decided to give a platform for some of his camp. I doubt you will like this album if you skim the tracks but i know you will love it once you sit back and soak the classics like Voices, Dedication, Auto biogratic & ottaspace.

В январе 2003 года первокурсники кемеровского филфака, 17-летние Е. Алехин и К. Сперанский объединились в дуэт макулатура. Название похищено у романа «Макулатура» Чарльза Буковски. Было решено работать в жанре приблизительно «социально-бытийный рэп», используя речитатив как рупор в работе с такими материями: «человек-общество», «гражданская позиция», «моральная этическая (и опять-таки) социальная ответственность». Так макулатура засучила рукава и встала на тропу войны с корпоративным фашизмом, бюрократией и организованным пиздецом.
Первый альбом » у слонопотама на этот счет могут быть совсем другие соображения» был записан осенью 2003 года. В 2004 году было сочинено достаточно композиций на новый альбом, но они так и не были записаны. Потому что Алехин переехал в Москву, чтобы познать основы писательской жизни, а Сперанский имел проблемы с ФСБ, получил условный срок и какое-то время не мог время выбраться из Кемерова.
Летом 2008 года макулатура обосновалась в Санкт-Петербурге. Уже немного заебавшиеся от разных обстоятельств Алехин и Сперанский начали работу над вторым альбомом, - было решено не использовать старые тексты, а начать все с чистого листа.
В марте 2009 года полновесный LP «детский психиатр», был записан в Москве на домашней студии у безумного парня по прозвищу Бухенвальдский Крепыш. Но альбом был хуево сведен и полгода существовал только в черновом варианте. В октябре 2009 появился, наконец, чистовик.
