About The artist
These three Hollis, Queens natives were the most important of the new school Hip Hop artists. They brought a harder edge to the music and helped move Hip Hop from a single-oriented genre to an album-oriented one. Their 1996 album Raising Hell became Hip Hop's first multi-platinum record.
