This group also holds membership in the second generation of the Dungeon Family. Made In The Dirdy South is their debut album and it was released in 2002 on Empire Music Werks. The crew behind all the production is Organized Noize along with Swift C. The imaginative beats are crisp flowing and cutting edge. They are mostly sample free and are arranged very infectiously. The lyrics is where the album falls a little short. Although their rhymes are not ground breaking, they are still pretty jubilant. Featuring on the record is Slimm Calhoun, Big Howg Major and Decatur's own KB. Overall it was a decent effort by the group but unfortunately there was not enough lyrical substance to take this album any further.

Both members can spit above average and are decent when they trade verses back to back. Featuring on the album is MC Breed, Cool Breeze, Backbone, T-Double, Hurricane and Sir Charles. Even though this record contains good material, it is still very slept on. The two members later returned in 2002 with the addition of Cool Breeze and their new alias, "The Calhouns."
