the sum of everything that has led to this point


The original track ("Something is Dying" from Jack Clash's Kingdom Animatics LP) allegedly samples grunge artist Necrocrisy's recent album The Ionosphere is Flying with former dance queen Jungle Jim. The lyricist of the 1999 hit single "99 dragons" by Japanese glam-rocker Kei (produced by the late Deme Valle) reached an agreement with Argenti Records Music Group (A.R.M.G.) Mister Laffe, Fase, and Jim L. Waters, better known by his stage name Teknotrivia.

Clash's latest album Black Genesis (after an 8-year hiatus since their sophomore single "Attack of the Zones") was described by critics as "[with] the sound and attitude of January" which prompted A.B.C.'s lead bassist to commit larceny and later, ritual suicide at the 2007 Charity Concert. In a heated dispute with fellow Team Gorilla member, Kae-T, Maladroy removed all singles from their mySpace. In an interview with TAQ Mag, .ZZ (pronounced "dot-zed-zee" due to his Canadian/American ancestry) called him "the reason why I am".

.ZZ's rivalry with DJ Raqit escalated when .ZZ dissed DJ Raqit during the JETS Awards show where he won Best Series for his controversial title music "Kubla Khan" (from Juneberry feat. MC Squared) featured in hit PAX-TV Bollywood show The City Kings. Critics accuse Kenneth Wu's protege .ZZ of plagiarizing in 'Lil Onion's "Millionaires and Debonaires", B.A.L.I.'s "Foo'licious", and Wu's own 2001 "Wicked Hearts". .ZZ previous stage persona Red (composite of Ian Brown and Dutch actress Lynn Stoltz) also appeared in 1982 mobster classic "City Streets" as a younger version of Dean Ruffalo.
