The group played a crucial role in the artistic and commercial development of Canadian hip hop as well as specifically for the Westcoast scene in Vancouver popularizing the term “Van City”.

The Rascalz are not Vancouver's first rap group, and have quoted acts such as EQ, Craig Crush and Mike D'Zire as influences.

[5] Also in 1998, Rascalz wrote a special one-off single called "Northern Touch", which they recorded with guest rappers Checkmate, Kardinal Offishall, Thrust and Choclair.

Although not on the original pressing of Cash Crop, the song was released as a single, and was quickly adopted as an anthem for Canadian hip hop's resilience and determination.

[11] The hit song "Crazy World" (featuring Notch and Sazon Diamante) appeared on 2002's album Reloaded.

They also recorded a song called "Top of the World" from the Global Warning album, and it featured K-os and Barrington Levy.
