Cold Crush Brother’s original lineup consisted of DJ Tony Tone (Angelo King, b. unknown), Easy AD (Adrian Harris, b. unknown), DJ Charlie Chase (Carlos Mandes, b. 1959), Grandmaster Caz (Curtis Brown, b. 1960), Almighty KG (Kenneth Pounder, b. unknown), JDL (Jerry Dee Lewis, b. unknown) and Money Ray (Eric Hoskins, b. unknown). Whipper Whip (James Whipper, b. unknown) and Dot-A-Rock (Darryl Mason, b. unknown) were original members. Eventually, Whipper Whip and Dot-A-Rock left and joined the Fantastic Five, which they considered to be a more established group at the time. Cold Crush Brother member, DJ Tony Tone came up with the group’s name, saying that “Cold Crush” meant anybody could get crushed, cold crushed, with no remorse. The Cold Crush Brothers were known for their remarkable routines which included harmonies, melodies, and stage-stomping performances. The Cold Crush Brothers set the standard for emceeing. They built a reputation as the Rolling Stones of Hip-Hop. Because of the attention they began to attract, many groups would try to battle them to gain Rap credibility and Hip-Hop superiority.
