Compromised is a hip-hop production duo consisting of Ali Haeri and Stephen Ip based out of Los Angeles, California. The two best friends have known one another since the third grade, but did not start working on music together until Haeri's second year in college. After a year of fine-tuning their talent, they burst on the internet scene in October of 2005 with the well-received Chrono Trigger Mixtape Vol. 1, a semi-parody collection that juxtaposes the symphonic score of the video game Chrono Trigger with popular hip hop songs.
Since then, they have produced mixtapes featured on MTV.com and XXL, and have reportedly begun work with several major label artists and producers not known at presstime. Compromised also produces a nationally-syndicated FM radio show with Spinderella (former DJ of pioneering female rap duo Salt-N-Pepa) titled "The Backspin."
