Deadly Venoms is a Wu-Tang Clan affiliated 〔http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1427937/deadly-venoms-emerge-from-wu-tang-family.jhtml〕 all-female hip hop group formed in 1997 consisting of N-Tyce, J-Boo, Champ MC and Finesse. X Clan affiliated rapper Lin Que was initially intended to be part of the group but departed soon after its inception due to business decisions.〔http://wu-international.com/misc_albums/Interviews/LinQue%20Interview.htm〕 Each member of the group were experienced rappers prior to joining the collective. Finesse recorded an album with rapper Synquis named ''Soul Sisters'' in 1988,〔http://www.allmusic.com/artist/finesse-synquis-mn0000182165〕〔http://www.discogs.com/Finesse-Synquis-Soul-Sisters/master/158724〕 Champ released her debut album ''Ghetto Flava'' on Atlantic Records〔http://www.allmusic.com/artist/champ-mc-mn0000161078〕 and EastWest Records,〔http://www.discogs.com/Champ-MC-Ghetto-Flava/release/1534401〕 and N-Tyce was signed to Wild Pitch/EMI in the mid 90s and released a few singles including the RZA produced "Hush Hush Tip" featuring Method Man.〔http://www.discogs.com/artist/N-Tyce+%282%29〕 The Deadly Venoms was J-Boo's professional introduction.〔http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-deadly-venoms-mn0000811913〕 A legal dispute with A&M/PolyGram Records and the then-forthcoming merger between the MCA and PolyGram families of labels that formed the Universal Music Group forced its debut album, ''Deadly Venoms: The Antidote'', to remain in its vaults, although the single “One More to Go” (featuring Inspectah Deck, Method Man, Cappadonna, Street Life, and GZA) b/w “Bomb Threat,” was released and the album was later leaked. Despite not being properly released the album got positive reviews.〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/antidote-mw0000043787〕 The group was also featured on NBA All-Star and rapper Shaquille O'Neal's 1998 album ''Respect''. Deadly Venoms' second album, ''Pretty Thugs'', was also never properly released because of similar label disputes, this time with DreamWorks/Interscope/Universal Records. However, as with ''Antidote'', copies of the record were leaked, and a promo CD was pressed. After the departure of Finesse due to undisclosed business reasons, the group finally managed to release an album with 2002's ''Still Standing'', on Rocks the World/Caroline/Virgin/EMI Records. ==Discography== * (1998) ''The Antidote'' (unreleased) * (2000) ''Pretty Thugs'' (unreleased) * (2002) ''Still Standing'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deadly Venoms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
