Another one for the one and only Sean Price. Tomorrow’s Dig Of The Day will also be dedicated to Sean P, with a song ya’ll heard back in the day..

The Fab 5 consisted of Heltah Skeltah (Rock and Ruck) and O.G.C. (Starang Wondah, Louieville Sluggah and Top Dog). The group joined the Boot Camp Clik and signed a record deal with Duck Down Records in 1995.

They released their debut single Blah b/w Leflaur Leflah Eshoshka later that year, with the B-Side Leflah becoming a surprise Billboard Hot 100 hit in 1995. The two groups split up to release separate debut albums in 1996, with Heltah Skeltah dropping Nocturnal in June (including Leflah), and O.G.C. dropping Da Storm in October.

Da Storm did not feature a Fab 5 track, and neither did Heltah Skeltah’s 1998 sophomore album Magnum Force.

Multiple Duck Down Records releases noted plans for a Fab 5 album in the liner notes, with the album being named either Simply Fabulous or Without the Freddy. The album was never released, due to Rock leaving Duck Down Records in 1999 in pursuit of a solo career.

Released on Priority Records in 1995.
