History

The Group was formed in 2003. Their first album The Foundation won the Canadian Aboriginal Music Award (CAMA) for Best Rap / Hip-Hop album in 2004.[2] In 2005 and 2009 the group was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award[3] and in 2007 they were nominated for an Aboriginal Peoples' Choice Award and another CAMA.

In 2009 the group released their second album The World (And Everything in It).[4] The album's first single, "Lonely", became the first song from an aboriginal group to go to number one on Much Music's RapCity.[5] That year the band was nominated for a Juno Award.[6]
