Some of The Lost Boyz were apart of the Queens collective 134 Allstars with DJ Roughandz at the helm, a RZA like producer figure who got all of the Queens artists to collaborate with each other at the time. You can see him DJing his set during the memorial which he held every year until he himself passed a few years ago. Some of The Lost Boyz were the first of 134 All Stars to break off into the mainstream. Some of the Murder Inc artists were also apart of the collective before the beef between other members in the group split them up. Then 50 was blowing up so he recruited Yayo to be the next to blow behind him and the rest is history. It's not that he had 2Pac or Biggie's level of fame it's that he was someone who DJ Roughandz believed in. He was also Tony Yayo's family friend through his older brother so the connection was deep. He got merked over a drug deal gone bad.

Thanks for the history fam, I see, so in a way he was like Stack Bundles before Stack Bundles? Like he had a lot of promise and people rocked with him but he passed before he could get to that success. Was it like that where he died before seeing success? or did he just not see any success on main stream levels but people believed in him.
Also interesting you mention 134 all stars, I think I remember seeing one of their tapes with Yayo in it lol and maybe Banks but I'm not sure. I know for sure Yayo was on that tape though.

50's one of my GOAT. IMO he's in my top 5 with 2Pac, DMX, Biggie, 50 and Big L. Honorary mentions: Big Pun/Eminem/Snoop. Dude had the illest run in Hip-Hop Almost 16 years of dope music since '99. I wish he would get Sha Money XL and Red Spyda to produce for him again. I used to love those war beats lol.

He was the hype man for the Lost Boyz... he rarely rapped. Mr.Cheeks was the rapper, Tah was just on the tracks yelling in the background. People just loved him (definitely not because he was a nice rapper. So that stack bundles comparison is wayyy off) But LB as a collective got a lot of love because the were kind of the first nikkas to come out of Jamaica queens to make it big that were really in the streets like that. Lost Boyz was more than just a rap group. When I was in elementary and Jr high school it wasnt bloods or crips you was either LB or LF

They had major success but they did the Nas route and thought being mainstream would of made them sellouts so they short changed their own career and ended up doing dumb shyt like going back to selling drugs at the exact same time when Puff literally wanted to sign them to Bad Boy. If you remember Puff was remixing their songs and he took them on Biggie's Ready To Die promo run but they didn't sign. There's loads of 134 Allstar mixtapes, but they were actual tapes from like 92/93-02 before 50 blew and took Yayo and Banks with him. You can't find these tapes unless someone digitises them but why would you wanna hear a teenage 50 Cent not emceeing properly (this was before he met JMJ). DJ Roughandz put together a last compilation mixtape of their "greatest hits" in 02/03 I think from his 96-01 mixtapes that eventually got 50 noticed and signed by Columbia Records. The rapper Trav and his older brother were apart of the group. Remember Slowbucks lol he was apart of the group too. 50 gave all of them jobs behind the scenes to take them off the streets.
The first to blow was The Lost Boyz, then believe it or not Tony Yayo but he was dropped in 97, then some artists got signed to Murder Inc. Then it was 50's turn but this time he took everyone with him out of the remaining 134 Allstars with Banks and Yayo. Bang ‘Em Smurf & Domination were going to be the next up after G-Unit but you remember how they fukked it up lol.
If you are a fan of Lloyd Banks not sounding like he has a dikk down his throat and dope rhymes that you remember him for in G-Unit's early run then you will love their last mixtape. I think Banks is between 16-18 during this mixtape maybe younger but still dope.

Here's the last mixtape of 134 Allstars:
G Unit Family | Your Daily G Unit Addiction
Here's Tony Yayo (aka Marvelous) and DJ Roughandz (aka Sha Manteca/or/Fat Sha), a rap duo called Raggs 2 Riches. This was their first single that didn't chart in the summer of 1995.
TRU Colors Feat. Marvelous (aka Tony Yayo) and Fat Sha (aka Sha Manteca/or/DJ Roughandz) (of Raggs 2 Riches)
DJ Roughandz/Sha Manteca/Fat Sha are the same person. Sha Money XL was the manager different people.
