Doz Funky Baztardz was made up of three members, DJ Taz, Melo and Class. Taz was born in Haiti but was raised in East New York.

Taz immediately recognised the MC's talent and made his way up to the bedroom to see who it was. The next day they were writing tracks together. Melo too had arrived in the States in 1987, he coming direct from Trinidad to Miami. His first memory of the music was "The Message", but before getting into music he was a B-Boy. Named after his favourite artist, Grandmaster, he formed a B-Boying crew called Clan, along with two cats Crazy D and Slick D. Before the music was Graf and dancing. On arriving in America he would show off his DJ skills on Saturday nights by hanging his speaker out the apartment window. His first experience of the "biz" was selling rhymes to local Hip Hop artists. He wrote poet
