Career

After the track Onyx inked a deal with Def Jam and were promised an album which became 1993’s Bacdafucup LP. The album met with great commercial success, including heavy airplay on radio and MTV for the single “Slam”. Onyx also performed with Biohazard on the tune “Judgement Night”, taken from the soundtrack album of the same name. The song “Slam” was the #5 single on the Rap charts and the album went on to quickly sell 2 million copies. Onyx also received critical acclaim, winning Soul Train’s rap album of the year. Despite the embrace of commercial outlets, the group maintained their hardcore image through raunchy live performances, Sticky’s arrest for assault on a flight, and when the NAACP deemed them a disgrace to blacks, denying them access to perform a football game’s half time show.

A lot changed with Onyx in the next two years. Big DS left the group during the recording of All We Got Iz Us because he felt he wasn’t getting enough time on the microphone.
