The group was formed in 1990 in the East Zone of São Paulo by the members of Preto Aplick, W.G.I. and DJ Andermad. In 1992, Andermad left the group and created Gang Wild after Dj San Mix became the second DJ of the group, staying for a while and soon after the time came the DJ Adriano was invited to participate in the group.

It was assisted by artists such as Beth Carvalho, Central Faction, The Less Crime, and Soundtrack Ghetto, among others.^[4] The group's first musical success mentions military names well known in peripheral neighbourhoods.

It was in this context that the song "Tá na Hora" was released, which depicts the murders committed by police Round Ostensive Tobias de Aguiar (Rota).
