In contradiction with old school hip-hop artists, all of the group members hold at least a post-graduate degree and even some are at a Phd level which results in the use of scientific words and expressions in their lyrics, setting them apart from other conventional hip-hop artists in the country. Apart from their group gangsta songs, the group is best known for the introduction of talents such as Justina and Amir Khalvat and their beef story with Erfan and Tik Taak band in 2012 followed by multiple diss songs and interviews.
