Onyx: Bacdafucup (1993). Hoodies, Timbs and Bald Heads

<p>B. Cox reviews <strong>Onyx&#39;</strong>s classic debut album Bacdafucup as it turns 30. After linking up with the late <strong>Jam Master Jay</strong> of Run DMC fame, the Queens group signed to his label JMJ Records. Under his watchful eye and tutelage, they recorded their debut album. The then-quartet made up of <strong>Fredro Starr, the late Big DS, Sonsee (aka Sonny Seeza or Suave) and Sticky Fingaz</strong> sought to bring their style of rugged hardcore hip-hop to the forefront. Punctuated by a high energy, rambunctious and in your face style with aesthetics marked by their trademark street look: hoodies, fatigues, Timberland boots and bald heads, they ushered in a musical and fashion style that gave them their unique selling proposition.</p><p>Produced mostly by Queens producer <strong>Chyskillz</strong> and his converted jazz notes to rugged out to meet the group&#39;s style, the album featured two hit singles: the hardcore anthem &#34;Throw Your Guns&#34; and the crossover classic &#34;Slam&#34; an high energy anthem that reached No. 4 on the Billboard 100 and has become a staple in popular culture, advertisements and campaigns in the 30 years since its release. </p><p>The album was certified platinum and is recognized as one of the best albums of 1993 and an album that is known for popularizing a particular style of rapping and performing as well as rugged street fashion.</p><p><strong><u>Visit The Vault Classic Music Reviews Online</u></strong></p><p><a href="http://www.vaultclassicpod.com/" rel="nofollow">www.vaultclassicpod.com</a></p><p><strong><u>Support The Vault Classic Music Review on Buy Me A Coffee</u></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/vaultclassicpod" rel="nofollow">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/vaultclassicpod</a></p><p><strong><u>Build Your Own Amazing Podcast Website In Less Than 5 Minutes!</u></strong></p><p><a href="https://www.podpage.com/?via=ivecre8" rel="nofollow">https://www.podpage.com/?via=ivecre8</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Show Notes</u></strong></p><p>
