The Juice Crew was a pioneering hip-hop group in the mid to late 1980s founded by producer Marley Marl and his label Cold Chillin Records. Cold Chillin’s first grab at notoriety was a single entitled The Bridge, which sparked a long time rivalry with Bronx rapper KRS-One and Boogie Down Productions. Marl would also produce another rivalry with a young female rapper named Roxanne Shanté releasing Roxanne’s Revenge in response to a single released by U.T.F.O.. The two battles would soon come to end and the Juice Crew expanded to produce some of the most influential hip-hop artist of the 80's and 90's.[1]

The group would establish a foothold on hip-hop in 1988 with their ground-breaking posse cut entitled The Symphony.
