Attempting to balance club-friendly Southern crunk with more conceptual lyrics, Atlanta-based rappers Tity Boi and Dolla Boy teamed up as Playaz Circle (aka the Duffle Bag Boys) in 1997. The two eagerly began recording street releases and mixtapes, and Ludacris later invited them to join his newly formed Disturbing tha Peace collective. The two continued to release straight-to-street albums and mixtapes, handing material to Atlanta DJs to play in clubs. They made noise with their Top Five hip-hop/R&B single "Duffle Bag Boy," featuring Lil Wayne on the hook, in 2007. The song's popularity broke the major-label red tape for the two, making it the lead single for Supply and Demand. ~ Cyril Cordor
