Terror Squad Wiki Information

Terror Squad is a hip hop crew and a record label from The Bronx, New York that was first established in 1998 on a song in the album Don Cartagena by its lead vocalist Fat Joe. ^[1] They released their eponymous debut, Terror Squad , in 1999, with its first major hit "Whatcha Gon' Do", credited mostly to Big Pun, who died of a heart attack in 2000. After Big Pun's death, his longtime partners Cuban Link and Triple Seis left the group and were subsequently replaced by Remy Martin and Tony Sunshine.

As the group was on hiatus following Pun's death, most of its former members fell into obscurity, with Fat Joe having the most successful solo career among all the former members. The group reunited and released their second album, True Story , in 2004. It included the summer club hit "Lean Back," produced by Scott Storch, which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and 24 in the UK. A remix to "Lean Back" featured Lil Jon, Mase and Eminem was released on Fat Joe's 2005 album All or Nothing . Although the album failed to spawn other hit singles, Fat Joe and Remy, who contributed the vocals to "Lean Back", went on to release high-selling solo albums in 2006.The Terror Squad crew has changed their line-up, leader Fat Joe revealed. With the exit of Remy Ma, Armageddon, and Prospect, after their second album, 'True Story', was released in 2004, the rap group added O.Z. from Miami, H-Mob and The Leader.

Apart from the three new members, DJ Khaled and Cool & Dre are retained as regular crew along with Tony Sunshine and Ryan Vennor. "That's it. That's the crew," Joe revealed to MTV's Mixtape Monday.

Though many fans consider the original Terror Squad to be the most talented incarnation of the group, Fat Joe later unveiled some of the reasons why the three old members are no longer part of The Squad. "Remy Ma, obviously, she's not down no more," Joe said. "The problem with her (is) we're hot. She don't wanna be down. Everything is a grind." While in Armageddon and Prospect case, Joe claimed that he no longer meets them to make new music and therefore was forced to "let them go". However, in a recent interview, Armageddon asserts, "I talk with Pros [Prospect] here and there and just recently reconnected with Joe. Collabs are always possible." ^[2]

Tony Sunshine also left the group as said in his myspace blog. Now signed to Koch Records Terror Squad is set to release a new album, tentatively titled A New Story , in 2008. ^[3]
