Onyx featuring Biohazard - Slam (Bioynx ReMix Version) - Bohemia Afterdark
Onyx’s shouting, in-your-face brand of high-volume rapping proved to be more at home in the slam pit than on the dancefloor and brought the rap quartet instant chart success. Originally formed in Queens, NY, during 1990, the members of Onyx (Fredro Starr, Sticky Fingaz, Big DS, and DJ Suave Sonny Caeser) met while working as barbers. The band honed their rhyming skills and act by performing at local clubs, which eventually gained the attention of .’s Jam Master Jay, who signed the group to his label, JMJ Records, and even helped produce Onyx’s debut full-length, Bacdafucup, in 1993. The album turned out to be a platinum-certified smash, spurred on by the runaway success of the hit single “Slam,“ which went on to become one of the year’s biggest rap hits. The group confirmed that they were just as content attracting a heavy metal audience by a pair of collaborations with the . hardcore metal outfit Biohazard (a remix of “Slam“ credited to Bionyx, and the title track to the motion picture Judgment Night). The album even beat out such stiff competition as Dr. Dre’s rap classic The Chronic at the Soul Train Awards for Best Rap Album that year.
Biohazard was a band originally based out of Brooklyn, New York. They are acknowledged as one of the earliest bands to fuse hardcore punk and heavy metal with elements of hip hop.
