Flavor Unit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Flavor Unit is a crew of emcees and DJs from New York City and Northern New Jersey. It is now known as the Unit. The original version of the crew centered around producer DJ Mark the 45 King. After the 45 King fell into serious drug abuse, Queen Latifah took over the name, and it became her umbrella organization. Flavor Unit Management is run by Queen Latifah, one of the original members of the Flavor Unit, and Shakim Compere. Past management clients are Monica Arnold, OutKast, Faith Evans, Total, SWV, Benzino, Groove Theory, Monifah, Gina Thompson, LL Cool J, Zhane, Donell Jones, and Naughty By Nature.
