Where It All Started

From Graffiti Artists, to B-Boys, from DJ's, to Emcees Chicago in the late 80's early 90's had a growing underground Hip Hop scene, dedicated to the original elements and expression of the culture.

As an organized force of people collaborating and celebrating Hip Hop culture,

Chicago's underground Hip Hop scene has been in existence since the mid to late 80's, with all elements accounted for.

The famous Hip Hop artists from Chicago do not pay enough attention or respect to the scene that nurtured and inspired them the way it did for Blah Zae Blah.

Chicago’s Own Blah Zae Blah started with two emcees, gained two members and became a four man crew, and finally reverted back to its two founding members.

The two founding members of the group, Sean and Schott were introduced by a common associate, Rob McKay at USBF2 (U Should Be Funky 2 Studio) on 26th and King Drive Blvd, just south of downtown Chicago. USBF2 was the recording studio that Blah Zae would first called home. Sean was attending Harold Washington College studying science and medicine, while Schott was attending Columbia College in Chicago majoring in art and design for advertising at the time. Both schools had their beginnings on Wabash avenue, in downtown Chicago, separated by about 10 or 11 blocks, from Lake street to Harrison avenue, that served as a causeway of creative exchange \between the two schools for emcees, dj’s, dancers, graf writers, promoters, and fans.
