Uncle Jamm's Army

The two powerhouses, Martin Brothers Productions and Rodger Clayton joined forces as Unique Dreams Entertainment to take the Alpine Village dances to another level.

They also played Long Beach State; Veteran's Auditorium, Culver City; Pasadena and Santa Monica Convention Centers; the Hollywood Palladium.

They built the platform from which West Coast Hip Hop launched to global fame, driven by Rodger's intense charisma and desire to be successful in the entertainment business, paired beautifully with Gid's marketing acumen, organizational skills, and mastery of relationships.

The two shared a great sense of humor, and made it through some tough encounters with financiers, competitors, and acts, in the early days of Hip Hop.

Uncle Jamm's Army was among the earliest hip-hop groups on the West Coast and helped to bring the electro scene to Los Angeles.

The most well-known being Greg "Egyptian Lover" Broussard, Tracy "Ice-T" Marrow, who was later a gangsta rap pioneer and a singer of the thrash metal band Body Count, and later Mark "DJ Pooh" Jordan, best known for producing 3 Strikes and the Friday trilogy, and Bobby "DJ Bobcat" Ervin (Death Row Records).
