American hip-hop group from Conant Gardens, Detroit, Michigan, founded in 1996. The group was formerly composed of the rappers [a=Titus Glover] aka [a=Baatin] (1974–2009), [a=RL Altman III] aka [a=T3 (2)], and rapper & producer [a=James Yancey] aka [a=J Dilla] (1974–2006). [a=J Dilla] left in 2001 to pursue a solo career with MCA Records. [a=Jason Powers (2)] aka [a=Elzhi] joined in his absence, after which [a=Baatin] also left due to health complications.

Over its history, the group has been through several line-up changes, which once included J Dilla's younger brother [a=John Yancey] aka [a=Illa J], but now the group exists as a duo of [a=T3 (2)] and producer [a=Ralph J.
