This three-person ensemble delights in visual jokes tied to voluminous, frizzy hairdos popular during that era, although Hurricane and Koot Tee kept their faces smooth while DJ Kippy-O sported a large Afro. Hurricane's background includes spinning records for the Beastie Boys and performing rhymes alongside Davy D, lending the outfit solid credentials. Rather than aggressive statements, their tracks lean toward humorous imitation and commentary, occasionally incorporating selections that highlight social issues and heritage to enhance the overall selection.
