Originally from Alabama, the duo of Sawed-Off (aka Dreads) & Big Ken (aka Supa Star) have been performing since 1994 when they joined their father’s gospel group in church. Although Def Jam head honcho LA Reid was not in attendance at church, he was in his office when the guys made a visit. After a quick performance full of introspective song writing, unique flows and a compelling production style, 334 MO.B.B. was officially official. Having been on the grind with their own label, Black Drop ENT, their signing to Def Jam simply showcased the Bama boys as an upstart success story.
Their first official single called “Take A Picture,” captures the essence of what the brothers feel is missing in today’s hip-hop world. The ability of 334 to capture a true vision of life’s realities (through their music), is what makes their combined 39 years of age seem trivial. Just ask Big Ken… “I’m not feeling the garbage. It’s hot garbage. Good hip-hop doesn’t mean jewelry, cars and cash.”
During their interview with DJ ”Z,” the guys criticize all of the DJs who won’t stop playing “crap music.” In addition, they sound off on the current formula that Southern hip-hop artists have followed toward success. Plus, don’t miss your chance to hear them call out snap music producers and the Casio-keyboard like sounds that they claim will “ruin” the industry.
