Strong Arm Steady was born in the streets of Los Angeles. SAS Gang set out to create a space for artists to stay connected to the street without having to sacrifice their personalities or artistic ambitions. The original crew consisted of like-minded MCs, DJs and producers who are among CA’s best: Krondon, Phil The Agony, Mitchy Slick, Xzibit, Chace Infinite, Planet Asia, DJ Khalil and DJ Truly Odd. Over several years in the early 2000s, the Strong Arm Steady collective made a steady assault on the mixtape circuit. Then the crew slimmed down to Krondon, Phil and Mitchy, while releasing material in the more traditional album format. 2010’s ‘In Search Of Stoney Jackson’ added a new dimension to the SAS repertoire – a collaboration with a single producer, Madlib, and their first project with Stones Throw Records. Following their 2011 release ‘Arms & Hammers’ on the Blacksmith imprint, they return to Stones Throw for another single-producer collaboration. ‘Stereotype’ features production exclusively from the Brooklyn-based DJ, Statik Selektah, whose past collaborations include Nas, Freddie Gibbs and Action Bronson and features appearances from the extended SAS family including Planet Asia and Chace Infinite plus West Coast newcomers Casey Veggies, Schoolboy Q and the Black Hippy crew and southern rap veteran David Banner.
