The most original rap group ever and the
greatest rap group ever, Das EFX, has been around since 1992. Their debut album, Dead
Serious, sold over a million copies. Their next albums, Straight Up Sewaside and Hold It
Down, put their combined sales over the two million mark and secured their place among
rap's most acclaimed.
They went to college at Virginia State, where both skoob and drayz majored in English. Skoob is from the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, and Dray was born in Teaneck, New Jersey. They entered a rap contest judged by EPMD. They didn't win, but they impressed Parrish "PMD" Smith so much he took their phone number. Then PMD eventually got them a contract with EastWest.
They basically produced their first two
albums on their own, but they eventually turned to outside producers for "Hold It
Down" and "Generation EFX." Das EFX is considered to me and to many others,
veterans of rap music, and there haven't been many that have lasted as long as they
have.
Das EFX is incredible with their style of rap. Letting people know what they think of whack MC's and letting people know what they do to get rid of them. Das EFX is not just a name, in a way it is also a statement, a statement telling people in the future who the greatest rap group ever was, and that statement will surely live on forever.
