by Vincent ThomasSpecial Teamz is a Bostonian supergroup as multi-faceted as they are multicultural, led by the O.G. of Boston hip-hop, Edo G; Jaysaun, a former member of the Kreators; and fellow Boston stalwart and transplant Slaine (The White Man Is the Devil, Vol. 1). Collectively having worked with a deep pool of some of the finest mainstream and underground hip-hop words and beatsmiths (KRS-One, Common, Black Thought, Masta Ace, Guru, Cappadonna, Royce da 5'9, and others), the Boston representatives signed with Duck Down, the indie label run by Boot Camp Clik henchmen Buckshot and Dru Ha. Their label debut, Stereotypez, featured production from legends Pete Rock and DJ Premier, as well as rising stars like Marco Polo.
