About

An all-girl group from L.A., Da 5 Footaz have been making moves since the mid-nineties. Composed of Neb Luv, Cobra Red, Jah Skillz, Ka-Bar, and Knehi, their origins go back to '94, when Jah Skillz scorched the mic on "Supa Soul Sis" off Warren G's Regulate&G-Funk Era. Jah hooked up with Neb Luv in school, and the two were featured in the documentary The Show. Soon their ranks grew, and in '96 the quintet contributed a track called "The Heist" to the film Set It Off. With their serious mic finesse and butter beats from the regulator himself, Da 5 Footaz' future seemed bright. Unfortunately label drama ensued and their forthcoming release was forced into limbo. An unreleased/bootleg LP called The Lost Scrolls kept hungry fans satisfied, and they're set to release Lifetime on G-Funk/Restless in the near future.
