Litta Buggz

Hip-Hop/Rap

Litta Buggz was made up of three MC's from Brownsville/East New York, Brooklyn: Mello, Pak and Ill Villain. Mello and Pack were brothers and all three were the youngest members of a much lager click called Drama Klub. Ill Villain had been throw out of school for a year on a Superintendent's Suspension and was sent to an alternative high school. It was there that he met the Saleem brothers. All three kids rhymed, so they found themselves in cyphers together in the school yard at break times and they began to hang out outside school They would battle other kids on trains, in stations, on the streets, wherever there were skills being displayed. They began to get a name from battling and on one train journey back home to the hood they formed the group. A local cat called Milky, a white kid with dreads, had some management connections up in Canada and the group signed a short management deal to record a demo. They were given funds to make their way up to Ontario and only just got in to the country, by the skin of their teeth! They recorded a bunch of tracks but only three survive and all three are DOPE!! The group fell victim to the usual pitfalls of the streets. Music didn't pay their bills and they put music on the back burner for a few years. The group reformed as Drama Klub two years later and recorded some tracks for the Crime Scene Compilation on Omni Spin Records.
