Sweatshop Union
Biography
An MC collective based in Vancouver, Sweatshop Union was formed in 2000 by a trio of groups -- Dirty Circus, I.B.S. (Innocent by Standers), and Creative Mindz -- plus solo rapper Kyprios, who all wanted to cut costs and improve efficiency. They self-released their self-titled debut, then watched the buzz take over and earn the album a second release on Battle Axe, the label run by Mad Child from Swollen Members. ~ M.F.

Love these guys lyric. Plenty to talk about in this day and age. Listen close cause what they say is coming true... We Will ALL be in internment camps soon.
|
||
this is the music that we need to see more of on the radio. Music that means something
|
||
I LOVE underground hip hop. It's so much better then all the mainstream stuff like Lil Jon, etc.
|
||
By far my favorite group ever, I've got every song they've ever made, just bought water street, and I've got a couple of songs they made with classified, etc., not a single song I dislike, not only that, but I think Water Street is the only C.D. I never skip through
|
||
Al Humdullilah, some thoughtful brothers with something significant to say. This is refreshing take a deep breath and inhale the truth.
|
||
SU is awesome, they just released their new album, Water Street, get it.
|
||
I got started on these guys after hearing "The Thing About It" on an American snowboarding video, and have been hooked since. They don't have a single song I dislike.
|
||
Vishiss... jus one thing real quick... his stage name is Lil Jon not Little John...
|
||
Easily one of the BEST hip hop groups ever to hit the scene! I CAN'T BELIEVE that you don't hear these guys all over the radio. It seriously agravates me that mainstream American music listeners would rather listen to people like Little John then these guys. This is what REAL hip hop is all about. Real lyrics, real talent. You just can't argue with that. And I totally agree with the "Close to Home" statement.

they rock, and what they talk about is so true. I think that every one should listed "Close to home" just once.
