History
The band began performing at local clubs which eventually led to them being noticed by Jam Master Jay of Run DMC. He signed them to his record label, JMJ Records. Once Sticky Fingaz joined the group, the group released the Throw Ya Gunz EP in 1993.
In 1994, Onyx released their Bacdafucup LP. The album met with great commercial success, including heavy airplay on radio and MTV for the single "Slam".
