Da Lench Mob was an American group associated with Ice Cube. The group consisted of rappers J-Dee, Shorty, T-Bone and Maulkie. Their Islamic and social politically inspired-lyrics garnered much attention.

History

The group made its debut on Ice Cube's first solo album, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted. At that time, the name referred to all of the performers on the album (including Ice Cube), rather than the distinct group it would become.

With Ice Cube as its executive producer, Da Lench Mob released its debut album, Guerillas in tha Mist, in 1992. At this time the group consisted of J-Dee, Shorty and T-Bone, who were also pictured on the album cover. The video for the album's lead single, also titled "Guerillas in tha Mist", became popular in the fall of 1992. The 2004 video game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas featured "Guerillas in tha Mist", appearing on the fictional radio station Radio Los Santos.

In 1993, J-Dee was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, and was dropped by Lench Mob Records. He claims to be innocent.^[1] Instead of disbanding, the group brought in a South Central Los Angeles-based rapper called Maulkie (former member of the Ruthless Records group "Yomo & Maulkie") for its second album Planet of da Apes, released in 1994. They broke up soon afterwards due to a rift over money and other differences.^[2]
