Das EFX gain popularity in the early '90s for their animated flow that birthed a new sound in hip-hop called the iggity flow; with No. 1 hits "They Want EFX" and "Mic Checka," Das EFX secure platinum success and a career that spans three decades.

The 90s was a decade of triumph and turbulence, as R&B and hip hop went well beyond crossover to dominate the charts and define mainstream American music, while artists found ways to impact society in ways both serious and playful.

The 2000s usher in not just a decade but a millennium, and the excitement and sense of opportunity that greet their arrival are reflected in the music and an historic election in the years that follow.
