Alongside Crucial Conflict , another Chicago group with a similar vocal and lyrical style, they helped launch one of the city's first national hip hop movements. They rapped with a signature fast flow over smooth G-Funk style beats. Their rapping and musical style took much influence from Twista as well as the Cleveland, Ohio group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony . The group's second album Headz or Tailz Produced mainly by The Legendary Traxster debuted in 1998 and went Gold. Its lead single was a follow-up to the group's previous hit titled "Still Po Pimpin'". It peaked at #68 on the Billboard Hot 100 . The group continued to release several albums during the 2000s decade, none of which equaled the success of their first two Gold albums.
The group's 8th album, Trunk Music (album)|Trunk Music , was scheduled for release on September 2, 2008, but was pushed to November 3, 2008 when news surfaced that The Legendary Traxster who is producing the entire album, would be reuniting with Twista for the rapper's upcoming solo project. On July 16, 2009 both producer The Legendary Traxster as well as rapper Twista confirmed that they will be working together to produce Do or Die's next album. It was unclear however, whether this album will be the unreleased Trunk Music, but the new album will undoubtedly include previously released singles intended for Trunk Music. http://www.cwalmob.com/
