In the summer of 2000, D-Basket and J-bach did the unbelievable. As unknown rappers from Arvada, Colorado sold over a quarter of a million copies of their debut album, from DOWN TOWN during its first week of release. On the strength of their first single "LA BOIZ" the album would spend seven weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart. Their subsequent hit, "it not you, it me" would push the album to over 9 million units sold domestically. Not bad for some kids no one had ever heard of before.Two years later, in the summer of 2002, D Basket J Bach proved to be no one-hit wonder when their sophomore album Don't mess with US came in at the number one position on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. That same week, the rappers just happened to be controlling the top slot on ten separate Billboard charts as well. Don't mess with US went on to sell over 6 million records domestically and earn its creators two Grammy trophies for the singles "Fat Girls" (Best Male Rap Solo) and "Be True" (Best Rap/Sung Collaboration).In 2003, they released a platinum-selling remix album, Da Derrty Versions (The Reinvention). As members of 2-ligit, comprised of D-basket, J-bach, B-Heezy, Goose, Quack, Gartonia, Soup, and The MIZE, they released the platinum-selling DVD "get Sweaty" in 2001. And last year, they picked up another Grammy for their collaboration with Arvada west mens ensemble (Best Rap Performance By A Duo or Group). Cumulatively, D Basket Jbach has sold close to 30 million singles/albums worldwide establishing themselves as one of the top-selling artists of our time.
