[edit] Music
Rehab formed in the late 90s and released their first album, To Whom It May Consume, in 1999. Their follow-up, Southern Discomfort, was released in 2000 on Sony/Epic. Bringing together Rap, Rock, Dirty South, Country, and Reggae, Rehab creates a style all its own. This style spans all of the group's albums. Rehab has featured many well-known artists on their albums, including Killer Mike.
[edit] Early years
Rehab's major label debut, Southern Discomfort, hit stores in October of 2000. With band members Danny Alexander and Brooks, hailing from the city of Warner Robins, south of Atlanta, Georgia. Their debut album starts with a skit of them breaking out of a rehabilitation facility. The album went on to sell over 140,000 units, and produce such hits as "Sittin' At A Bar", "It Don't Matter", and "Rattle My Cage", and feature such guests as Cee-lo, Goodie Mob, and Cody Chestnutt.
After a 2 year tour on the supporting the Vans Warped Tour, and playing with bands such as Linkin Park, the band called it quits over different creative view points, but also including personal and financial differences. They were dropped from their label and Brooks later released their unreleased, finished album, CuzWeCan, on the internet.
