O.G.C. (Originoo Gunn Clappaz) are a Hip Hop group consisting of
members Starang Wondah (Gunn Clappa Numba One, also known as Big
Will, Hurricane Starang and Strang Da Beast From Da East), Louieville
Sluggah (Gunn Clappa Numba Two, also known as Hennyville Guzzler
or Henny), and Top Dog (Gunn Clappa Numba Three, also known as
Big Kahuna and D-O). The group is mostly known through their membership
in the Boot Camp Clik, along with Buckshot, Smif-N-Wessun and Heltah
Skeltah.
O.G.C. debuted on Smif-N-Wessun's 1995 album Dah Shinin', appearing
on the tracks "Sound Bwoy Bureill" and "Cession At
Da Doghillee". Later in 1995, they teamed up with Heltah Skeltah
to form The Fab 5, and released the single "Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka," which
became a Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at #75 on the chart. In October
1996, they released their debut album Da Storm, which went on to
sell 250,000 in the United States. Two music videos were released
from the album, "No Fear", and a dual video for "Hurricane
Starang" and "Danjer" titled "Hurricane Danjer".
Though the album didn't receive as much attention or as many sales
as the other Boot Camp releases, Da Storm received good reviews,
and is seen by some as an underground classic. The three released
a group album with the Clik in 1997, titled For the People. The album
received mediocre reviews, and the Clik's popularity began to decline.
O.G.C. released their second album, The M-Pire Shrikez Back, in 1999.
The album received strong reviews, but sold little numbers, and the
single "Bounce to the Ounce" wasn't able to make an impact.
The trio was missing from the scene until 2002, when the Boot Camp
returned with their second group album The Chosen Few. The three
temporarily retired as a group, but continued work with the Boot
Camp Clik, and were featured on the Camp's third group album, The
Last Stand in 2006. The group is still with the Boot Camp and still
records.
