THIS CLICK CAME UP FROM A HUMBLE UPSTART IN THE EARLY 90's. IN DUVAL THEY WERE MOSTLY KNOWN FROM THE HOME MADE MIX TAPES. LO LIFE PLAYA'S LATER MORPHED INTO A FORCE KNOWN AS "SOUTHERN SURVIVORS", WHO THEN TOOK THE NEXT STEP IN THEIR MUSICAL JOURNEY BY RECORDING IN LOCAL JAX, FLA STUDIOS. THEIR FIRST VENTURE CAME OUT OF TWC STUDIOS, WHERE THEY RECORDED "GREED" AND " CITY LIMITS" . THE SONGS CAUGHT LOCAL ATTENTION , BUT INTERESTED LABELS WANTED TO SEE MORE WORK. THEY WOULD LATER BECOME AFFILIATED WITH BLACKHOUSE, ANOTHA LOCAL STUDIO TO RECORD "GHETTO MADNESS" AND "SHADOW WARRIORS" IN AROUND 95'. HOWEVER THEIR WAS STILL A MOUNTAIN TO BE CLIMBED. THE GROUP STARTED DOING LOCAL TALENT SHOW'S CATCHING MORE ATTENTION ON A LOCAL SCALE. EVENTUALLY THE GROUP LINKED UP WITH ANOTHER CHILDHOOD FRIEND "SHOT OUT" TO HELP CREATE THE SHOT OUT ENT. LABEL. THIS DYNAMIC COLLABORATION OF TALENT WOULD THEN RELEASE A HIT SINGLE "IT IS" WHICH CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF LOCAL DISC JOCKEYS AT 92.7 THE BEAT, WHICH RESULTED IN AN ACTUAL RADIO AIRPLAY. SOON THE LABEL RELEASED IT'S FIRST ALBUM "ESCAPING THE CRABPOT" WHICH BEGIN TO MOVE OUT INTO THE REGIONS OF THE SOUTH. MAJOR RECORD LABELS SHOWED INTEREST BUT NEVER CAME WITH THE RIGHT DEAL THAT WOULD ALLOW EACH MAN HIS FAIR SHARE. THE INDIE LABEL BEGAN WORK ON A FOLLOW UP ALBUM "NIGGA'S STILL CRABIN ". STRIKING THE INTEREST OF A NFL PLAYER FUTURE HALL OF FAMER FRED TAYLOR. TAYLOR WOULD ATTEMPT TO HELP THE LABEL TO GAIN THE NATIONAL RECOGNITION AND RESPECT THAT IT DESERVED IN A SMALL MARKET. DURING THIS PROCESS THE GROUP WOULD COMPETE IN "WIGSPLIT", A UNDERGROUND HIP HOP COMPETITION TO RECOGNIZE JACKSONVILLE'S HOTTEST LABEL. THE GROUP WOULD WIN FIRST PLACE FURTHER VALIDATING IT'S PLACE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. SHOWS WOULD FOLLOW OPENING UP FOR MAJOR ACTS SUCH AS JA RULE (WHEN HE WAS HOT) AS WELL AS GOODIE MOB AND MANY OTHERS. LIFE SITUATIONS, LEGAL MATTERS AND THE INCARCERATION OF SOME OF IT'S MEMBERS SLOWED DOWN THE PROCESS. EVENTUALLY MEMBERS TOOK DIFFERENT PATHS AND BEGAN WORK ON SOLO PROJECTS. THIS THEN CALLED FOR THE START OF DIRT ROAD RECORDS. ENFORCED BY THE CONTINUITY OF MEKO MCNEIL AND C-THRU THE DUO CONTINUED TO BUILD, COMPLETING A LARGE SCALE OF COLLABORATIONS. WITH EQUIPMENT NOW AT THEIR DISPOSAL THEY THEN BEGAN PRODUCTION, WHICH WOULD ELEVATE AN ALREADY TALENTED DUO TO CREATE THEIR OWN SOUND. FURTHER DOWN THE LINE TEAMING UP WITH A.K.A {CHASE}, PROVIDING A NEW ELEMENT TO AN ALREADY UNSTOPPABLE FORCE.THEY WOULD WORK COUNTLESS HOURS IN POTTSBURGH, THE BIRTH PLACE OF A PAST SUCCESSFUL GROUP 95 SOUTH, TO MAKE A DREAM INTO A REALITY. BRINGING US TO NOW 08', THE UNLEASHING OF THE GREAT DIRT ROAD RECORDS. WE CANT BE STOPPED!!!! WHAT DOESN'T KILL US ONLY MAKES US STRONGER. ALSO BE THE LOOK FOR THE DOCUMENTARY MOVIE STILL UNTITLED TO BE AVAILABLE SOON. REMEMBER SET BACKS ARE ONLY THE SET UP FOR COMEBACKS QUOTED BY(NATE NITTY).
