[edit] History

Originally, its members included Xzibit (host of MTV's series Pimp My Ride), Phil Da Agony, Mitchy Slick, and Krondon. In late 2006, Xzibit left the group just before they signed to Talib Kweli's Blacksmith Records ([1]) because of contract conflicts with his solo distribution deal with Sony. Xzibit has been featured on several songs with the group since he left. The extended Strong Arm Steady family includes West Coast artists such as Self Scientific (Chace Infinite & DJ Khalil), Planet Asia, DJ Truly OdD and Self Allah.

Strong Arm Steady is currently produced by Da Riffs, Will Blast, Planet Asia, Phil Da Agony and DJ Khalil.

[edit] Style

Strong Arm Steady has focused mostly on independent mixtapes, as well as collaborations with more established artists. In this sense, Strong Arm Steady and its independent members have released numerous mixtapes; collaborated with G-Unit, the Cali Agents, and others; and have made several appearances on Talib Kweli's "Right About Now" and "Beautiful Struggle" mixtapes. Strong Arm Steady was also featured on the song Money Don't Make U Rich from Hi-Tek's 2006 album Hi-Teknology 2: The Chip.
