The U.M.C.'s
The U.M.C.'s were an American rap duo from Staten Island New York City.
The group was comprised of Hass G and Kool Kim, who released the critically acclaimed, full-length album "Fruits of Nature" in 1991. Fruits of Nature garnered chart success with their #1 Billboard Hot Rap Single "Blue Cheese" and #2 Hot Rap Single "One To Grow On". In 1994 they released their sophomore album, (Uleashed).[1], but split up soon after.
Since The UMC's break up, Hass-G has focused on producing music, most notably garnering a #1 hit for Lil Kim featuring 50 Cent, with "The Magic Stick". Kool Kim has reinvented himself as controversial underground rapper, NYOIL.[2]
