LP “Soundbombing Vol. 2″ compilation released in 1999 Common (originally Common Sense) was a highly influential figure in rap’s underground during the ’90s, keeping the sophisticated lyrical technique and flowing syncopations of jazz-rap alive in an era when commercial gangsta rap was threatening to obliterate everything in its path. His literate, intelligent, nimbly performed rhymes and political consciousness certainly didn’t fit the fashions of the moment, but he was able to win a devoted cult audience. By the late ’90s, a substantial underground movement had set about reviving the bohemian sensibility of alternative rap, and Common finally started to receive wider recognition as a creative force. Not only were his albums praised by critics, but he was able to sign with a major label that guaranteed him more exposure than ever before. Common was born Lonnie Rashied Lynn on the South Side of Chicago, an area not exactly noted for its fertile hip-hop scene. Nonetheless, he honed his skills to the point where — performing as Common Sense — he was able to catch his first break, winning The Source magazine’s Unsigned Hype contest. He debuted in 1992 with the single “Take It EZ,” which appeared on his Combat-released debut album, Can I Borrow a Dollar?; further singles “Breaker 1/9″ and “Soul by the Pound” helped establish his reputation in the hip-hop underground, although some critics complained about the record’s occasional misogynistic undertones.

Tallahassee-based MC and vocalist T-Pain (born Faheem Najm) came up in a rap group called Nappy Headz but went pro as a solo R&B artist after he recorded “I’m F**ked Up,” a personal take on Akon’s Top Ten hit “Locked Up.” Akon heard the track and took T-Pain under his wing with a contract on his Jive-distributed Konvict Muzik label. Produced and written mostly by T-Pain, Rappa Ternt Sanga was released in December 2005, led by the Top 20 single “I’m Sprung.” Epiphany followed in June 2007.

After four largely solo albums under the name “Boogie Down Productions,” KRS-One decided to strike out on his own. On his first solo album, 1993′s Return of the Boom Bap, Parker worked together with producers DJ Premier, Kid Capri and Showbiz, the latter providing the catchy-yet-hardcore track “Sound of da Police”. His second album, 1995′s KRS-One, featured Channel Live on “Free Mumia”, a protest song about the persecution of hip hop by C. Delores Tucker among others. Other prominent guest stars on KRS One included Mad Lion, Busta Rhymes, Das EFX and Fat Joe. In 1995, KRS organized a group called Channel Live, whose album Station Identification he produced most of, along with Rheji Burrell and Salaam Remi.

Prakazrel Samuel Michel, known as Pras, (born October 19, 1972) is a Grammy Award-winning American rapper, actor, film producer, and promoter for the hip hop trio The Fugees, considered one of the most influential groups of the 1990s for their album The Score. Pras has also forged a successful solo career, beginning with an international hit single from his first full-length solo LP, “Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)”, featuring Mýa and Ol’ Dirty Bastard. “Ghetto Superstar” became a top ten single in 1999, and the #8 most played single; it was received with critical acclaim and earned Pras a performance at the World Music Awards. The hit single was included in the soundtrack for the Warren Beatty-starring film, “Bulworth”. “Ghetto Superstar” spent eight weeks in the UK Top 5, peaking at number 2 in July of 1998, and reached US #15 a month later. “Blue Angels”, from the same album, was acknowledged as a UK Top 10 hit, reaching #6 in November of the same year.

Black Moon is an American hip hop group, consisting of members Buckshot, 5ft and DJ Evil Dee (of Da Beatminerz). The group is most well-known for their debut album Enta Da Stage, and their affiliation with the Boot Camp Clik. During the group’s hiatus, DJ Evil Dee continued his production career with his crew Da Beatminerz, and lead MC Buckshot headed out and formed his own supergroup called the Boot Camp Clik, featuring fellow Brooklyn locals Smif-N-Wessun, Heltah Skeltah and OGC. Following the releases of the debuts from Smif-N-Wessun (Dah Shinin’), Heltah Skeltah (Nocturnal), and OGC (Da Storm), Black Moon reformed on Buckshot’s label Duck Down Records. In late 1996, Nervous Records released a Black Moon compilation album titled Diggin’ In Dah Vaults, which featured a number of remixes and b-side tracks. After the group’s split with Nervous Records, Black Moon became entangled in a legal battle over the licensing rights of their group name, which lasted for a number of years. The case was finally settled in 1998, and they were able to license the name through Nervous.
