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. They are still with the Boot Camp and still record.
