[2] Originally started by Harry Sona, his cousin Usmaan and DJ JC, they surfaced on the Urban Asian music scene in 2002 with their Sona Kaandaan mixtape which was highlighted by a remix of the More Fire Crew's garage anthem "Oi".
The remix titled "Oi Who's That Asian Girl" gave the group mainstream attention and airplay on major radio shows including BBC Radio 1's Bobby Friction & Nihal, DJ Luck & MC Neat on Kiss 100 and Mastersteps show on Choice FM.
They went on to become the first ever desi rap group to be signed to Sony BMG, through which they released their only official album to date called "Make Some Noise" in 2007.
Sona Family also released a controversial track by the name of 'Hai Kuthi' which featured members rapping about a real life conflict between JC and a person from his hometown by the name of Jaspal Sanghera who referred to himself as ‘Don’.
The song contained profanity in English, Punjabi and Hindi, but was considered a huge online hit due to the original and upfront lyrics.
