SOUNDS OF FATTNESS - Flavor Unit MC's

The Flavor Unit is a supergroup of emcees and DJs from New York City and Northern New Jersey, now known as the Unit. It is very similar to Native Tongues formation. The original version of the crew centered around producer DJ Mark The 45 King. It was Mark's connections to Radio personalities DJ Red Alert and DJ Chuck Chillout who gave the crew quick notoriety. It did not hurt that the original members all had formidable rhyme skills and wrote streetwise lyrics. The 45 King eventually fell into serious drug abuse and Queen Latifah took over the name, and it became her umbrella organization. Flavor Unit Management is run by Latifah, one of the original members of the Flavor Unit, and Shakim Compere. Past management clients were Monica, OutKast, Faith Evans, LeShaun, SWV, The Almighty RSO (a group featuring Ray Dog, better known today as Benzino), Groove Theory, Monifah, Gina Thompson, LL Cool J, Zhané, Donell Jones, and Channel Live.
