U.M.C.'s

With a perfect balance of party-rockin' tracks and light-hearted lyrics, New York duo U.M.C. scored notable success with "One To Grow On" and "Blue Cheese" from their 1991 debut album Fruits Of Nature. Their upbeat, happy-go-lucky style was a far cry from the growing Gangsta Rap movement, and more akin to the positive vibes of the Native Tongue Family. Although their 1994 follow up Unleashed fell on mostly deaf ears, Haas G and Kool Kim will always be remembered for their funky hits, appearing on compilations and mix-tapes for years to come.
