Second Generation
After Acid's breakthrough, a group named "9mm" moved the style of Burmese hip hop to new level. Although the group's underground music was well known to the youth, most of their songs did not pass the Burmese censor board, and the group never released an own album under 9mm. Later, because of the group's political activism, even the name 9mm was banned by the censor board.
Other notable groups were G-Family,Project-1, Byauk-Oh (Firecracker), Examplz, On-track, Cyclone. M.H.A. (Myanmar HipHop Association) was formed unofficially. Many youth joined M.H.A. and inspired to becoming hip hop artist someday. From Mandalay, known to be the source of traditional music and culture of Burma, came many hip hop artists and groups even though they were not many as in Yangon.
