Onyx's cheering, in-your-face firebrand of high-volume rapping proven to be more at family in the slam infernal region than on the dancefloor and brought the rap quartette clamant chart success. Originally formed in Queens, NY, during 1990, the members of Onyx (Fredro Starr, Sticky Fingaz, Big DS, and DJ Suave Sonny Caeser) met spell running as barbers. The ring honed their rhymed skills and act by playing at local clubs, which eventually gained the care of Run-D.M.C.'s Jam Master Jay, world Health Organization signed the grouping to his label, JMJ Records, and even helped produce Onyx's debut full-length, Bacdafucup, in 1993. The album turned out to be a platinum-certified crush, spurred on by the runaway winner of the hit single "Slam," which went on to become matchless of the year's biggest belt hits. The group confirmed that they were simply as content attracting a fleshy metal audience by a geminate of collaborations with the N.Y.C. hard-core metallic element outfit Biohazard (a remix of "Slam" credited to Bionyx, and the title track to the movement pictorial matter Sound judgment Night). The album even outfox tabu such smashed contest as Dr. Dre's rap authoritative The Chronic at the Soul Train Awards for Best Rap Album that year. But Onyx was unable to cover their commercial success as such subsequent albums as 1995's All We Got Iz Us and 1998's Close 'Em Down came and went without much ostentation. The late '90s proverb members Sticky and Fredro try their bridge player at playing, landing floater on HBO's Strapped, Spike Lee's Clockers, the Rhea Pearlman/Danny De Vito-directed Sunset Park, and Brandy's hit TV render Moesha. The assorted members tested to launch solo careers, just the records never connected with audiences. With the rap genre's continuous changes and shifts, they decided to try a comeback and reappeared with 2002's Bacdafucup, Pt. II.
