Poison Clan

Southern hip-hop group signed to Luke Records from 1990 to 1995, the group had various line-ups and members were JT Money, Thomas Brooks of Marianna Fl, Debonaire, Drugz, Uzi, Madball and Big Ram. Thomas Brooks played an important role in the development of the Dirty South movement that developed late in the decade. The group began as a 2 Live Crew-sponsored group on Luke Records and came to an end when the group's driving force, JT Money, went on to a more successful solo career after a business-related dispute with Luke. In retrospect, though Poison Clan struggled to gain notoriety outside of Miami in the 1990s, the group's style of sleazy, club-oriented, bass-driven rap provided the template for the late-1990s Dirty South movement.
