It all started when Chuck Darkness, who was originally a solo rapper, decided to put a group together. Since they all came from the same neighborhood (4th Ave 11th Street), he first recruited Hardroc Da Verbal Bullye and taught him how to rap.
Doc Diesel, who had all the equipment and handled the production, joined the crew as its DJ and beatmaker. Then there was Sideshow Skee, a childhood friend who grew up with them and served as the group's hype man. From what I know, he brought an incredible energy to the crew. Chuck Darkness met Doc-C in college and he eventually joined the group, stepping in to replace Hardroc after he got locked up.
This 4-Track demo tape is the only material recorded by the group under the name Nuphskillz. The group later changed its name to Kurrupt Thoughtz after parting ways with Doc-C. In 1994, Hardroc, Chuck Darkness and Doc Diesel released their one and only 12" (Smoked Out / Summer Madness / Off With Hiz Heads) on the independent label 411 Recordings, which was managed by Hardroc & Chuck Darkness. Only 150 copies were pressed at the time, so the wax became extremely rare and hard to find.
AMXXR delivers the visuals for "What You Gonna Do", his latest single produced by legendary Pete Rock, taken from their collaborative album "DopeBoySoul", dropping December 4th on Tru Soul Records.
