Hip hop emphasizing lyricism. Appealing beats with a unique sound.
Riot Squad: We are an extremely talented and original multi-racial hip hop group consisting of two MCs and one producer. The MCs, KnockOut and Versatyle, have differing styles and excellent chemistry together. Emphasizing lyrics and delivery, the duo combine to drop some impressive vocals, whether it be an introspective message-filled track or a traditional braggadocio-packed battle song. Casey Wells, the group's producer, is musically adept at many instruments and creates a vivid and unique sound. One that balances the line of credibility and commercial appeal. Formed in 1997, The Riot Squad have turned down several label offers and are still hoping for the right deal to come along. Listen to the music and judge for yourself if they have what it takes.

Story behind the song
This song is basically our declaration of independence. We had some dealings with various record labels, and they basically wanted us to dumb down our style and approach, and we weren't feeling that at all. When we wrote this song we were stating that the industry can force you to do things that you don't want to sometimes, and that we were trying to avoid falling into that trap at all costs. The hook are some if my favorite bars that I've written. - Knockout
