One of the foremost contributors to the
Houston screw scene, the Botany Boyz were part of the
Screwed Up Click in the early to mid 1990s. The group name is a reference to Botany Lane in the
Cloverland area of
Houston where they resided. Their first album,
Thought of Many Ways, was released on their own label, Big Shot Records, in 1997; its follow-up,
Forever Botany, was released in 1999 and managed to crack the
Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop charts at #99 in 2000 as the Houston rap scene became more popular across the US. Since then, the members have concentrated more on solo projects, with
C-Note being the most successful. The Botany Boyz were featured on the platinum selling
Sittin' Fat Down South, with the single "Chop, Chop, Chop" produced by legendary southern producer
Bruce "Grim" Rhodes. ==Members==
