1 album / credit record(s) · Hip-Hop/Alternative Rap
Long Island hip-hop trio (Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove, Maseo) whose 1989 debut 3 Feet High and Rising, produced with Prince Paul, pioneered dense eclectic sampling and a playful 'D.A.I.S.Y. Age' aesthetic that helped launch the Native Tongues collective and alternative rap as a lane distinct from gangsta rap.
