180-Gram Black Vinyl Boogiemonsters were an American hip hop group composed of Bronx-born rapper Mondo McCann, Alaskan native Vex Da Vortex (Sean Pollard), and Jamaican-born brothers Myntric (Sean Myers) and Yodared (Ivor "Al" Myers). The members met while attending Virginia State University, quickly connected, and began recording demos and performing at campus events. Their early momentum led them to win first place at Howard University's Hip-Hop Convention. Pendulum/EMI record label signed the four MCs and released their debut album Riders Of The Storm: The Underwater Album in 1994. The first single, "Recognized Thresholds of Negative Stress," introduced their thoughtful, alternative approach to hip hop. It was followed by "Honeydips in Gotham," a smooth tribute to the fly sistas of the city, and "Strange," built around a slick Cameo sample. Another standout track, "Salt Water Taffy (Slo Jam)," is noted as one of the earliest non-Roots session appearances by future producer Scott Storch. Riders Of the Storm: The Underwater Album delivers a focused blend of rugged beats, sharp lyricism, and atmospheric production that stands apart in the 90s hip hop landscape. It's mix of conscious themes and deep grooves makes it essential for fans of underground hip hop. The album's mellow, funky, alternative sound sits comfortably alongside groups like A Tribe Called Quest and de la Soul, giving it a timeless place in the era's most creative and forward-thinking releases.
