Ondre Moore) and Con Artis (Mr Porter, Denaun Porter. This groups first album was "The Underground EP" and was seldom heard. Most of these members met through Proof (See Proof). This group was famous for its battle rap prominence as can be seen in movies such as 8 Mile and the famous Eminem vs Kuniva rap battle (Eminem-Kuniva Rap Battle). This band became famous when Eminem hit it big with his independent deal with Interscope. As he mentions in many songs he then went back for his friends.
