Da Lench Mob is an American hip-hop group that emerged in the early 1990s, known for their politically charged lyrics and affiliation with rapper Ice Cube. The group was initially formed as a collective of rappers associated with Ice Cube, who served as their mentor and executive producer. The original members included J-Dee, T-Bone, and Shorty, with Ice Cube playing a significant role in their early development.
Da Lench Mob released their debut album, "Guerillas in tha Mist," in 1992. The album was well-received for its aggressive delivery and socio-political commentary, tackling issues such as racism, police brutality, and social injustice. The title track and singles like "Freedom Got an A.K." gained them a strong following.
The group's career was cut short due to internal conflicts and legal issues, including J-Dee's incarceration. Despite their brief time in the spotlight, Da Lench Mob left a lasting impact on West Coast hip-hop and are remembered for their raw and unapologetic approach to addressing social issues.
