At that same time, the Cleveland-native DJ Lord Jazz met with Newark, NJ's Doitall and Mr. Funke, as Dj Lord Jazz was looking for mcs to form a group,he met with Doitall first and then Mr.Funke at Shaw University in North Carolina.
Since then was created the legendary hip hop group The Lords of the Underground.
Though their name might imply violent gangsta rap, the Lords of the Underground match socially conscious raps with hard-hitting beats. A friend of Lord Jazz (Derek Jackson)told Jazz to form the group and he would introduce the group to legendary producer Marley Marl, who later invited them to record at his studio with help from K-Def. Before their debut album (Here Come the Lords) even appeared, the Lords placed three hit singles (Psycho, Funky Child, Chief Rocka) on the rap charts. By the end of year, the Lords received an award from BET as best rap group of the year. Keepers of the Funk, released a year later, kept the momentum going, and there was a five-year wait before third album Resurrection dropped in 1999.Then, though the Lords did not separate, Lord Jazz decided to set up in Paris, France. Very quickly, he managed to be adopted by the whole French hip hop activists through projects with the HH crew, Cut Killers crew, and the audience as well through his weekly show on the Parisian hip hop radio, Générations FM, called The Connection.LordJazz has moved on from Generations and now does his show on www.Conspiracyuk.com a fresh and vivbrant new online internet station,I love the freedom I have on this show and I do it right from my studioJazz says.In France, no DJ can spin turntables and rock the crowd with the mic, as Lord Jazz does!
His technical skills and a pure selection transform his sets in original hip hop masterpieces.
