History
Da King & I, the members of which include MC Izzy Ice and DJ Majesty, signed with Rowdy Records in 1992 and were often compared to another MC-DJ duo, Pete Rock & CL Smooth. The duo first released their debut single, "Flip da Scrip" on November 24, 1992. A few months later, on July 13, 1993, Da King & I's first and only album, Contemporary Jeep Music was released, containing the singles "Flip Da Scrip" and "Tears." Although the album did gain many positive reviews, the success and poularity of Gangsta rap caused the album to become a commercial failure. The duo disbanded shortly after the release of the album.
Since then, group member Roderick "Majesty" Wiggins has launched a career as an R&B producer in the late 90's. He has made contributions to a few albums, such as:
SWV - Release Some Tension ("Release Some Tension") RCA Records, 1998
Rufus Blaq - Credentials ("Come Alive Y'all") Perspective Records, 1998
Elusion - Think About It ("Good and Plenty") RCA Records, 1998
Before Dark - Daydreamin' ("Push N Shove") RCA Records, 2000

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–117)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
