From the desperate/bad ideas file comes the latest Allhiphop.com alert concerning the 90s' most revered screaming enthusiasts:
With a notable legacy that dates back to 1993, Queens, N.Y., rap team Onyx was among the kings of gritty street anthems. No, they aren't making a comeback, but their protégés, under the name Yung Onyx, plan to offer that same rough edge with their own contemporary spin. "There's no more groups in the game now who bring that raw street s**t," Fredro Starr told AllHipHop.com of the young rappers, one of which is the son of original Onyx member Big Kie. "They don't rap about jewelry and cars…they rap about the block." The three MCs and R&B; singer "Primo Starr" caught the ear of Fredro Starr, who decided to executive-produce their debut album Bangout, which was released on Sept. 11. The Queens-based Hip-Hop quartet is set to release their first single "In Da Hood Like" under South Side Records.
Rejoice, humanity, rejoice! Onyx is reborn anew
