He is one of the founding members of the original version of the [[Flavor Unit]]. His stage name refers to the so-called Lost Tribe of Shabazz, which is based on the teaching of Wallace Fard Muhammad. As an artist signed to [[Tuff City]], Shabazz first gained recognition when he provided vocals for the vocal version of "[[The 900 Number]]" by [[DJ Mark the 45 King]]. In 1988, his debut album,Β ''[[Pure Righteousness]]'', was released. The album was well received, and has become an iconic release of the period in [[hip hop music]] when the Islam-related style was popular. He released [[The Lost Tribe of Shabazz|a second album]] in 1990. His miltant lyrics were predominantly about his love of the Nation of Islam and his dedication to the Nation of Gods and Earths, the latter of which he was a member. He briefly worked with [[Diamond D]] in the early 1990s, and then disappeared from the hip hop scene. He currently lives in New Jersey. ==Discography== *1988: ''[[Pure Righteousness]]'' *1990: ''[[The Lost Tribe of Shabazz]]'' [[Category:American rappers]] [[Category:African-American rappers]] [[Category:Flavor Unit members]] [[Category:Rappers from New York City]] [[Category:East Coast hip hop musicians]] [[Category:Five percenters]] [[Category:Article stubs]]
