Da Lench Mob

Da Lench Mob was an American hip-hop group from Los Angeles, California, active from 1990 to 1995. The group originally consisted of numerous individuals associated with rapper Ice Cube, but the initial recording lineup settled with rappers Shorty, T-Bone, and J-Dee. The group's debut album, Guerillas in tha Mist, was certified gold by the RIAA while the album's second single, "Freedom Got an A.K.", was a top-ten hit on the Hot Rap Songs chart. After J-Dee was incarcerated for a 1993 murder, he was replaced by Maulkie. Da Lench Mob released their second album in 1994, Planet of da Apes. The group disbanded in 1995.

History
The group made their debut on Ice Cube's first solo album, ''AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted''. At that time, the name referred to all of the performers on the album (including Ice Cube), rather than the distinct group it would become. At first the name was also spelled "The" rather than "Da" on the album sleeve. The members specifically named in the album's liner notes included Ice Cube, Sir Jinx, T-Bone, Yo-Yo, Chill, J-Dee, Del the Funky Homosapien, and K-Dee. Da Lench Mob finalized the recording lineup with Shorty, T-Bone, and J-Dee as the members, and they signed with the major label EastWest Records. With Ice Cube as executive producer, Da Lench Mob released their debut album, Guerillas in tha Mist, in 1992. B-Real of Cypress Hill and Ice Cube contributed vocals to the album. Towards the end of 1992, Da Lench Mob toured alongside Beastie Boys and Rollins Band in the US. Da Lench Mob contributed the song "Guerillas Ain't Gangstas" to the soundtrack of the film Menace II Society in early 1993. The soundtrack was a success as it peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified platinum by the RIAA. Da Lench Mob toured Europe during the summer of 1993, with their final show in Germany. After they returned home, J-Dee was involved in a fight at a club that led to the death of a 22-year-old man, and thus J-Dee was arrested and charged with murder. J-Dee claimed his innocence, although he admitted responsibility as an auxiliary accomplice. Instead of disbanding, the group brought in South Central Los Angeles-based rapper Maulkie (former member of the Ruthless Records group Yomo & Maulkie) for their second album Planet of da Apes, released in 1994. The album featured a variety of musicians, such as Ice Cube, Bootsy Collins, Quincy Jones III, K-Dee, among others. Da Lench Mob broke up the following year due to a dispute over money and other differences. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, T-Bone appeared sporadically with other artists, albeit in the studio as a featured guest or producer. J-Dee was released on parole in 2021, after serving 25 years. He started releasing new music thereafter under the name J-Dee Lench Mob. His debut album, Cali Connected, was released in January 2023. In 2024, J-Dee reunited with Ice Cube on the track "Facts", which appeared on Ice Cube's album Man Down. ==Discography==
