The Howse

Hip Hop / Horrorcore / Acid Rap group created in 1997-1998 by The R.O.C. (Raps on Contact aka SOL of 46th Galaxy) The following events occurred in order. 2 Krazy Devils (Krazie & Psycho C) was being produced by The ROC in 95-96. Krazie changed his name to Skrapz & Psycho C changed his name to Tha Sandman to reform the group as "Sleepwalkaz" with planed album "In Our Dreamz". One track was leaked with the master of Flipped Insanity from the Lotus Pod Studio at Psychopathic Records (Which would lead 2 known versions of the album. The original leak was a tape lent to Curt D. Madness of Bedlam (Later Virus Indie, Ghetto Records) to which a friend of his stole, digitized, & leaked the album, which angered Skrapz, Curt got the blame & that would later cause tension & beef between them two all the while HOK2 & Bedlam was taking place. In 1997 House Of Krazees split up & Big J aka Mr. Bones & E.X.P. aka Monoxide Child signed to Psychopathic as Twiztid. Interviews would state that ROC was originally offered a deal but declined, Twiztid signing angered ROC & thus The Howse was born a spin off iteration of HOK in a new sound & direction with other Detroit Underground Emcee's, a shortened altered name, the first album not produced by ROC but by local producer Mr. Vitology. The group made some disses towards Twiztid at the time on paper & cryptically through words. The Howse - Esohpromatem (Metamorphose Backwards) was the first professionally recorded album by ROC at the time of his career spanning back a decade, in the demo track "Friction Feat. ShangHai" he calls himself "SOL" for the first time in 97-98, BEFORE the formation of HOK2 with Skrapz, who in the meantime performed with The Howse (As seen in the All Access Pass DVD) alongside the creation of "The Night They Kame Home" that would release in 99 after The Howse: Esohpromatem in 1998. The group would disband for reasons not publicized. There was a limited number of Tapes & CD's pressed for the album, as well as 4 limited foil samplers in Red, Blue, Gold, & Silver, a few loose tracks, & unfinished 2nd album that was in the process of being created when they split. Skrapz worked with Powda (F.R.eeze/Level Jumpers, Dialtone, Dial81, Blair French) & Seizure (Skrapz Brother) on the 4 track Demigodz EP released in 1998 among other unreleased solo material such as "The Formula". HOK2 would turn into Halfbreed of Virus Independent alongside Level Jumpers, & ROC's brother Mr. Y.U.G. After HOK2, Walter K. S. Kept pushing HOK3 with all new members & 2 Demo's recorded in 99 with Mastamind & YUG (On the Hook) of one of the tracks. Halfbreed would later diss them in an interview (& possibly on tracks). Beast drew the artwork. His brother, also an artist, contributed in the background vocals as Tha Mad Child. Beast would later join the group IT5 - The Indigenous Tribe and collab alongside Pimpeht at The Wired Frog where battleraps & shows would take place. Beast would change his name to "Morpheus" & Fidel (Greed) the frontman of IT5 would help Pimpeht adopt the name "Miz Korona" from corona the beer rapping a liquor store. Miz Korona would later grow to obtain many awards & appear in films, such as Vanessa in Eminem's 8-Mile movie. She would also collaborate on tracks with IT5. Miz Korona continues to record independently today & work as a visual artist & photographer, Morpheus now go's by "Royal Priest(Hood) & works in film & some solo music, Mr. Vitology would go to work with Harmony Soul Ent. & music production for TV commercials, ROC is currently signed to Twiztids label (& basically Reformed HOK/SWK) on MNE.
