Audio Two

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Audio Two were a late-1980s rap duo consisting of brothers Milk D. (Kirk Robinson) and DJ Gizmo (Nat Robinson). Breaking out with their first hit, "Top Billin'", they would follow that up with a full-length release entitled What More Can I Say?.

Following in their footsteps was MC Lyte (Kirk's (Milk D) sister ) who garnered success with the release of several hit songs beginning with "Cha Cha Cha", which went to #1 on the Billboard rap chart in 1989.

Despite a promising start, Audio Two stalled with their sophomore effort, I Don't Care: The Album, in 1990. By this time, gangsta rap was becoming popular and Audio Two, like other old school rap artists, found themselves unsuccessfully struggling to maintain a fanbase and recording contracts.

In 1994, Milk D. released a solo effort entitled Never Dated on Rick Rubin's American Recordings record label, which includes the track "Spam" featuring 2 of the 3 Beastie Boys (Adrock sharing the microphone and Mike D playing drums). However, aside from devoted Beastie Boys fans, the album generated little interest.
