|
The Terror Squad is a Latino Rap crew from The Bronx, New York that is best known for its members Big Pun and Fat Joe. The roster included Fat Joe, Big Pun, Cuban Link, Prospect, Armageddeon, Triple Seis, Tony Sunshine and Remy Martin. They released their eponymous debut, Terror Squad, in 1999. The song "What Cha Gon Do," mostly created by Big Pun, was their first major hit. Fat Joe and Big Pun were the members in the crew who had the most successful solo spots, Remy Martin was the only female rapper in the group, and Tony Sunshine was famous for singing on all the Terror Squad songs.
Tragedy struck the crew when Big Pun died of a heart attack in 2000. His longtime partners Cuban Link and Triple Seis left the group after his death, but Fat Joe, Remy, Tony Sunshine, Prospect and Armageddeon remained and released their second album, True Story, in 2004. It included the summer club hit "Lean Back," produced by Dr. Dre associate (and former Roots keyboardist) Scott Storch. "Lean Back" peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #24 in the UK.
