Alec Baillie, formed No Commercial Value, which later evolved into
Choking Victim and then again into
Leftöver Crack. Although many members of these bands have come and gone, Stza remained a constant figure, writing the vast majority of the lyrics and music and becoming the bands' self-appointed spokesperson. Stza is also associated with the band Morning Glory through Leftöver Crack member,
Ezra Kire. In 2005, he collaborated with
Mischief Brew on a song for his first album,
