Known for their party-driven, tongue-in-cheek raps, the duo first came to public attention as guests on producer J Dilla's album, Welcome 2 Detroit in 2001.

The group signed a recording deal with MCA Records, but their 2003 album, 48 Hours, was at first rejected by the label, reworked with new production and resubmitted by the group, and finally shelved by the label altogether.

The album Xtended Play Version 3.13 contained production by J Dilla (who died before its release), and other producers.

The song "MCA" details their uphill climb in the music industry.
