; it was formed in Bologna in the early 1990s, "from the remains of the legendary Isola Posse All Stars", and its base point was the social center called the Island of the Kantiere. In the beginning the group also included Papa Ricky, DJ Fabbri, and Gopher D, who left the group before its first release to dedicate themselves to raggamuffin and reggae music.

Their debut album SxM was released in 1994, obtaining great underground support and becoming a model of genuine hip hop music even today but, because of the distribution, the record had marketing problems, so the original SxM in its first issue is somewhat rare.

After this every member left the band to pursue a solo career.

In 2005, SxM was remastered and re-issued.
