Rakin Fetuga created Mecca2Medina after leaving his previous rap group, Cash Crew in 1995.
The group aims to make music which expresses their Islamic views and they also comment on social issues related to 'ghetto life'.
The group contains youth workers Saifallah and South, a social worker Talib, a teacher Fetuga and a civil servant Kazi, these qualifications led the group to do many workshops around the country with disaffected young people and prisoners.
The remaining trio went on for many years and travelled outside of the UK to many countries including Nigeria,[3] USA,[4] France, and Ireland.
They have worked with many new artists including with The Blind Alphabets and Mohammed Yahya, Missundastood of the US, Poetic Pilgrimage, Pearls of Islam, Masika Feesibillah and Muslim Belal.
