Da Youngsta's Illy Funkstaz "I'll Make U Famous"

Da Youngstas were a hip-hop trio that consisted of two brothers, Taji "Taj Mahal" Goodman and Qu'ran Goodman, and their cousin Tarik Dawson, hailing from Philadelphia. 

The group released its final album in 1995 "I'll Make You Famous" where they started referring to themselves as the Illy Funkstaz, a nickname that the group had used sporadically during its last two albums. It contained the Mobb Deep-featured single "Bloodshed and War." 

It has been said that commercially the album was the least successful of the group's releases, and nothing has been heard from the group since. My opinion is that this is still a great album and the beats used are perfect beats for riding around to at night or simply just listening to at night. They are subtle, dark, toned, and artistic, and the lyricism really fits them well.
