J-Real is a master in the studio but an animal on stage with his rhymes! Native to the West Side of Oahu I.A. (aka The Kama`ania Classic) smooth delivery of lyrics makes the ladies melt, however don’t let his pretty face fool you, his hard edge packs a tight bit when needed.

Kutmaster Spaz (aka The Universal DJ) grew up in the 80's and knows all about the florescent, O-ring, Kango wearing decade! Spaz supplies the hype and scratches to complete the group.
