Stetsasonic was an American hip hop group formed in 1981 (see 1981 in music) in Brooklyn. They have become well-remembered as one of the first hip hop crews to use a live band, and their positive, uplifting lyrics have made the group forerunners of alternative hip hop and jazz rap. Prince Paul, Wise , DBC , Daddy O , Delite and Frukwan formed the group as the Stetson Brothers but changed their name to Stetsasonic for their debut, Fire ( 1986, 1986 in music). The album received mixed reviews, though the follow-ups, Full Gear and Blood, Sweat & No Tears were critically acclaimed.
The group broke up soon after the release of Blood, Sweat & No Tears. Frukwan and Prince Paul worked with the Gravediggaz, while the latter also became a well-respected record producer, as did Daddy O , who worked for Mary J. Blige and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, among others.
