Hailing from Los Angeles, with a sound reminiscent of East Coast boom-bap, The B.U.M.S (Brothas Unda Madness) consisted of 2 rappers, D-Wyze and E-Vocalist, and they released "Lyfe 'N' Tyme," their only album, in 1995. The group gained notoriety after several appearances on "The Wake Up Show" hosted by Sway and King Tech, who signed the B.U.M.S to their label All City Productions, which was distributed through Priority Records. Though the group made noise with the singles "Elevation (Free My Mind)" and "Take a Look Around" the album by and large went unnoticed, and the B.U.M.S faded into obscurity. After more than a decade "Lyfe 'N' Tyme" has become considered a slept-on classic, with production from Joe Quixx, The Baka Boyz, Fredwreck and King Tech as well as an early appearance from Mystic, this is a quintessential listen.
