             . ... NOTES      
            Doz Funky Baztardz was made up of three              
            members, DJ Taz, Melo and Class. Taz was born        
            in Haiti but was raised in East New York.            
            After his mother broke her leg at work in 1987,      
            the family moved down to the warmer climate of       
            Miami on the advice of her doctor who suggested      
            that her leg would heal quicker if they got out      
            of the North East. Taz started DJ'ing in Miami       
            from the early 90's and made a living selling        
            beats to round-the-way artists. He met Melo one      
            night at a party thrown by a girl he was dating,     
            who happened to be a cousin of Melo's. Melo was      
            spinning in the bedroom, where the decks were        
            set up. The speaker was placed outside the door      
            in the hallway so no one could see who was           
            DJ'ing. Melo dropped some Kwame instrumental         
            [he recalls] and started to freestyle over the       
            beat.Taz immediately recognised the MC's talent      
            and made his way up to the bedroom to see who        
            it was. The next day they were writing tracks        
            together.                                            
            Melo too had arrived in the States in 1987, he       
            coming direct from Trinidad to Miami. His first      
            memory of the music was "The Message", but           
            before getting into music he was a B-Boy. Named      
            after his favourite artist, Grandmaster, he          
            formed a B-Boying crew called Clan, along with       
            two cats Crazy D and Slick D. Before the music       
            was Graf and dancing. On arriving in America he      
            would show off his DJ skills on Saturday nights      
            by hanging his speaker out the apartment window.     
            His first experience of the "biz" was selling        
            rhymes to local Hip Hop artists. He wrote poetry     
            at school way before he heard "The Message", so      
            he had a natural skill for scanning and word         
            play. But it wasn't until he connected with Taz      
            that the music really began to flow.                 
            Taz's first paid work came from selling beats        
            for $50-$100 to local acts. He graduated from his    
            Casio RZ1 with its 4 seconds of sampling time to     
            a secondhand SP1200 which he bought from Space       
            Music in Miami with money saved from selling         
            beats and his part time job in a movie theater.      
            The two started to lay down their first              
            recordings around 1991 funded by Taz selling         
            beats. They recorded in a studio called "Who         
            Brought The Dog" owned by a cat called Harvey        
            in Miami. They pressed up 300 copies of a white      
            label called "Journey To The Weedhole" around        
            1992/1993 and distributed it themselves to local     
            Mom & Pop stores on consignment. Around this         
            time, through their DJ'ing and promoter contacts     
            they started getting booked to support Hip Hop       
            acts when they came to Miami. They supported         
            Cypress Hill, Nice & Smooth, Busta Rhymes,           
            Fugees, Jeru and Redman among other notable NYC      
            acts. With momentum building they self financed      
            another single, "What's Goin On" in 1994, again      
            pressing only 300 copies. They followed that         
            record up a year later with "Straight Outta",        
            again pressing 300 copies.                           
            Doz Funky Baztard'z suffered from a Hip Hop          
            disease prone to all East Coast-influenced acts      
            hailing from Florida - known as Bass-osis! If        
            you didn't "do" Bass music, you didn't get           
            supported. Miami had its own sound and "copying"     
            the NYC Hip Hop sound was frowned upon. The          
            labels down there didn't invest in anything          
            other than Miami Bass. So this huge talent was       
            left by the wayside.
