Bizarre, aka Rufus Johnson, was born in Detroit, Michigan, U.S. on July 5, 1976. He was raised in a dysfunctional family, his parens having been divorced and his mother having abused him as a child. Bizarre was influenced to rap by LL Cool J and Dr. Dre and Ice Cube of N.W.A. While growing up Bizarre would rap at St. Andrew's rap club. He said prior to the release of his third studio album Friday Night at St. Andrew's: "St. Andrews is the venue all the Hip Hop heads went to on Fridays for music. There were other clubs around it, but it stood out like a sore thumb. The people who went there used to look so different. People used to laugh at you for going there." Bizarre began working with D12 and they released their debut extended play The Underground EP while he began working on his solo EP Attack of the Wierdos in 1997. Bizarre released his first album, Hannicap Cricus in 2005.

Jackie Chain is a native son to Huntsville, AL. Jackie found his love for rap music at an early age, growing up in the trailer parks and listening to his favorite groups such as Eightball and MJG, UGK, 3-6 Mafia and Too Short. As early as 5th grade Jackie had won local talent shows by displaying his unique ability to rap and win over a crowd. The fact that Jackie is half Asian added to his reputation as people began to take notice of his talents. Jackie lived a troubled childhood moving from home to home and state to state after his mother left him at the age of two(to this day he still has not spoken to her or even knows if she is alive and prefers it that way). At age 16 he was kicked out of his fathers house and turned to the streets. Within a month he had a 5 bedroom house with a pool and several cars, all this while still in high school. All his hustling finally caught up to him and by the age of 18 he had two felonies looking at a prison stint. During his two years of incarceration for distribution of narcotics Jackie worked on his love of hip hop, that is even where he got his name Jackie Chain. Jackie credits his time inside the penn for helping mold him into the artist and business man he is today.
