The Pack was a hip hop group formed in Berkeley, California in 2004, composed of rappers Lil B (Brandon McCartney), Young L (Lloyd Omadhebo), Stunnaman (Keith Jenkins), and Lil Uno (Damonte Johnson). They recorded in tandem for over a year at Young L's home studio, during which they released their first two mixtapes Wolfpack Muzik Vol. 1 (2005)[1] and Wolfpack Muzik Vol. 2 (2006).[2][3]
The group first saw recognition on MySpace for their 2006 single, "Vans". The song moderately entered the Billboard Hot 100 and was discovered by prominent California-based rapper Too Short, who signed The Pack to his record label Up All Nite Records, an imprint of Jive Records. "Vans" preceded the release their debut extended play (EP), Skateboards 2 Scrapers (2006) in December of that year. The EP was followed by their debut studio album, Based Boys (2007), which failed to enter mainstream music charts. They signed with SMC Recordings to release their second album, Wolfpack Party (2010), which also failed to chart and served as their final project before disbanding.
The group was known for their "skateboard raps", and the sexually explicit content of many of their songs. Its de facto lead member, Lil B has since garnered a cult following for his solo work.[4]
