Street Military - Next Episode

Street Military - Next Episode
Street Military is possibly one of the hardest group to have ever emerged out of Houston's underground rap scene. The five members, Pharoah, Icey Hott, Lil' Flea, K.B. Da Kidnappa, and Nutt released their fourth album in 1995 on Beatbox Records. As usual it contained the skillful production of Icey Hott. The dope sampling, solid amounts of hard drums and great use of keyboard is all present here along with original, lyrical flows that contain heartfelt yet ruthless realism. Featuring on the album is Klondike Kat and Ron Lee. Street Military was the sound of the streets so it shied away from mainstream radio play and that could be the very reason for the group's limited success. Then came the death of one of the members and the incarceration of another. Rest in peace Nutt and Free Pharoah were the words being shouted. Street Military released their final studio group effort called "Steel Gangstaz" in 2002. Rest of the surviving members are praying on the release of Pharoah, who is currently in the process of appealing his case to the state. Street Military is waiting to be resurrected in the distant horizon.
