When two equally deprived inner city youths collaborated on the basketball court an immediate friendship formed.  In due time the streetball insults would reign supreme in the friendship.  "We're **ing on em' Chris. Give me another laxative" became the most famous line between both and eventually the phrases would begin rhyming.  When this procedure took place simultaneously four other youths were struggling to find their place in society and a dynasty was berthed in the home of thunderous ruckus.  Reigning from the blossoming clouds and shimmering in the atmospheric abyss ... a Quiet Storm developed. 

We learned a long time ago that teenage artists get taken advantage of like childhood stars and whenever we attempted to make a buzz with local artists we got turned down.  Now our fuel to become better artists has risen and we feel no remorse for those who have done us wrong.

When C.dot And Abstrakt collaborated in 2003 us both had a special interest at heart that we  both shared. We both thought that "Through our rhymes we could change the way people think and act in our community", So we decided to come up with the group  Hangman. As time passed we listened to many artist and we listened to their lyrics. We listened to such artist's as NaS, 2-pac, Biggie, Jay-z and so on.
