House of Krazees

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

House of Krazees was an underground rap group in Michigan from 1993 to 1997, who briefly reunited in the fall of 2004. The original group consisted of Mr. Bones, Hektic, and The R.O.C.. Lyrical themes revolved around violence, horror movies, and Halloween. They began touring with the Insane Clown Posse on the Milenko All up in Your Face Tour. Despite expectations that the band would land on ICP's Psychopathic Records, the Krazees signed with Latnem Intertainment. Soon label problems lead to Hektic and Mr. Bones leaving the group and Latnem Intertainment for Psychopathic Records renaming themselves Jamie Madrox and Monoxide Child and starting Twiztid, while the R.O.C. started The Howse.

In 1998, The R.O.C. reformed the House of Krazees with new member Skrapz (former member of 2 Krazie Devils) and released The Night They Kame Home. After one album, they changed the band's name to HaLFBrEEd. The group's original line-up reunited for one final show as House of Krazees in the fall of 2004, during Twiztid's Halloween event "Fright Fest". Since then, they've re-formed (along with Blaze Ya Dead Homie) as Samhein Witch Killaz.
