Dem Hoodstarz (sometimes Tha Hoodstarz or just plainly Hoodstarz) are two bay-area rappers, from East Palo Alto, California, Band-Aide and Scoot Dogg. The group is a prime example of the Bay Area's Hyphy movement. They gained recognition throughout the Bay Area with their hit single, "Grown Man On", produced by San Jose's Traxamillion. Their first album is called "Hood Reality". They both started in two different groups. Band-Aide started with a group known as Neva Legal consisting of partners, G-Boyee and Mr. Macntosh. Scoot Dogg was in a group started by former rapper Chunk known as Totally Insane. Both Scoot Dogg and Band-Aide are from the Bay Area. Scoot Dogg comes from Midtown East Palo Alto and Band-Aide comes from the Eastern part of Menlo Park. Together the two have started their record label Lawless Records and released the album Band-Aide & Scoot. Lawless Records also consists of rappers The Block Boys, G-Boyee and Young Bunk. As a sidenote, Dem Hoodstarz are featured on iTunes.
