Stetsasonic was an American Hip Hop group formed in 1981 (see 1981 In Music ) in Brooklyn , New York . They are remembered as one of the first hip hop crews to use a live band, and their positive, uplifting lyrics have made the group forerunners of Alternative Hip Hop and Jazz Rap . The members were Prince Paul , Wise , DBC (the '''D'''evastating '''B'''eat '''C'''reator) , Daddy O , Delite , and Frukwan . Originally, the group was known as the Stetson Brothers, but they changed their name to Stetsasonic for their debut, ''On Fire'' ( 1986 , 1986 In Music ). The album received mixed reviews, though the follow-ups, ''In Full Gear'' and ''Blood, Sweat & No Tears'' were critically acclaimed. The group broke up soon after the release of ''Blood, Sweat & No Tears''. Frukwan and Prince Paul worked with the Gravediggaz , while the latter also became a well-respected Record Producer , as did Daddy O, who worked for Mary J. Blige and the Red Hot Chili Peppers , among others. |
