With dark, bass-heavy tracks provided by Da Beatminerz, the two charismatic emcees spit fierce verses rife with tales of gunplay, girls and ganja. They put out a few singles and collaborated with their Boot Camp Clik brethren on a number of projects before re-emerging with <I>The Rude Awakening</I> (1998) under the name Cocoa Brovaz. While this album featured some lighter and more diverse production, their trademark flows remained as rugged as ever. On their Internet/White Label single "Super Brooklyn," they flip funky rhymes over crisp beats and a bugged-out, old school <i>Super Mario Bros.</i> track, complete with mushroom and coin sound effects. Although they have yet to hit the platinum mark, Cocoa Bz' are high-rollers in the hip-hop underground, and their always on-point tracks continue to bend the necks of dedicated fans around the globe. - Brolin WinningBoom Bap/Ninetiesen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:39:19 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5860&rws=%2Fcocoa-brovaz%2Fdiscography.rss Formally known as Smif-N-Wessun, Brooklyn duo Tek and Steele burst on the scene with an appearance on Black Moon's 1993 classic <I>Enta Da Stage</I>. 1995 saw the release of their seminal debut <I>Dah Shinin'</I>, which did not sell huge numbers but garnered much love from critics and heads worldwide.
