DJ Snake is one of the earliest Dallas based hip-hop producers that began his career as a local DJ, before helping co-found the independent Get Off Me Records in 1987. Sumthin Fresh became local stars and Bumble Bee, feeling that Something Fresh was a bit soft, decided to change their name to Nemesis. Every Wednesday night, from 9pm til Midnight, Dallas/Fort Worth listeners were deluged with local artists, local sounds along with underground beats. The radio show, which was hosted by DJ Snake, Big Al, and Casanova Rock, was most popular to young Dallas hip-hoppers who had no other options or outlets for rap music. Initially, they appeared as guests on Nippy Jones Freaky Fresh Friday afternoon show and after teaming up with DJ Snake for music production, they were regulars on the "All Hardy Def Party" radio show which became the metroplex's hottest radio show at the time. Known for their funk-structured compositions and loud bass lines, the group debuted with the single "Oak Cliff" in 1987, and followed up with several albums on Profile Records from 1989-1995.Īs Sumthin Fresh, the group appeared regularly on KNON FM 90.9. The rappers from Hamilton Park, MC AC From Oak Cliff, and the DJs from Oak Cliff (both neighborhoods in Dallas) became part of the Dallas, Texas underground rap scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They were later joined by DJ Snake aka Don Brown, Big Al aka Al English, Casanova Rock, and MC AC. Originally, Nemesis was called "Sumthin Fresh" with group members included rappers MC Azim aka Lawrence Azim Rashid, Bhumble Bee, and Eazy Roque aka Charles Roquemore. This label was well known for bringing out many popular East Coast hip hop releases including Run-DMC, Dr. They are considered the first rap group from Dallas to enjoy popularity in the US and world-wide, thanks to their label, Profile Records. Members of the group included MC Azim, DJ Snake, Big Al, Joe Macc and Ron C. It isn't as consistent as Munchies for Your Bass, which is arguably the group's best album, but this CD does have its share of infectious grooves - most notably, "Cloud 7," "The Big, Bad, The Bass," and "Nemesis on the Premises." Although not the best album in the Nemesis catalog, Temple of Boom is good for some cheap thrills here and there.Nemesis is an American hip-hop group formed in Dallas, Texas in the 1980s. Regardless, this isn't without its pleasures. Not surprisingly, some of the hip-hoppers who remembered the "all-praises-due-to-Allah" outlook that defined parts of To Hell and Back felt that Nemesis had sold out by becoming more sexually exploitive and questioned this album's sincerity. Instead, this CD's concerns include sex, women in tight dresses, and malt liquor. The conscious raps of Nemesis' first album, To Hell and Back, are long gone.

This CD is quite similar to Munchies for Your Bass like that 1991 release, this is an R-rated party album that is full of sleek R&B-influenced grooves. Released in 1993, Temple of Boom was Nemesis' third album, and reunited the group with the Too Short-influenced Ron C. Nonetheless, the Dallas combo was influenced by the bass music that came out of Florida and Georgia, and it tried to cash in on its popularity with album titles like Munchies for Your Bass, Temple of Boom, and Tha People Want Bass. Nemesis was never a group that catered to bass purists its brand of hardcore rap isn't pure bass in the sense that the 2 Live Crew, Afro-Rican, 95 South, and Tag Team are bass.
