Tha Havenotz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tha Havenotz were started by, and included, Tupac Shakur and Yaki Kadafi along with Candyman 187. Due to the untimely demise of the late great hip-hop rap icons Tupac and Kadafi in 1996, the group’s development ground to an unexpected halt.

Since then Candyman 187 and Yaasmyn Fula (mother of Yaki Kadafi) have been working toward rebuilding and reuniting Tha Havenotz. Lead by Tupac's 'little brother' Candyman 187, Tha Havenotz are a group of talented rap artists, writers and producers who are concerned about the messages being relayed through today’s hip-hop and rap.

Many of the group members are pioneers of hip-hop and rap bringing back the “REAL” issues that affect those who listen to their lyrics. From politics to social stigmas, Tha Havenotz have focused their message on today’s struggles which are similar to the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s, The Black Panther Movement of the 70’s and the Crack and AID’s epidemic of the 80’s.

Most recently in 2004, Candyman 187 was able to introduce a new generation of Havenotz who continue where the original group left off. The new Havenotz are a fusion of the young and the old. The revamped group consists of Candyman 187, Storm, Shock G, and Money B.

Tha Havenotz Family Tree consists of other well known rappers and individuals such as Freehand Profit, The Circle (Rich Stites, Bibi McGill, Odie, Aaron, and TJ), Mg, Assassin, Turi, Rukas aka Rukas Mar, Mopreme Shakur, Ant D.O.G, Hussein Fatal, Taje, Treach (Naughty By Nature), Jona, NoName aka Gold Fronts, 3 Against 1, 2 Fly Eli, B.
