Formed in 1992, the band originally consisted of Donny on guitar, Spec on bass, Dose on drums, and their two MCs Sense and Season. Within two years the band had a record deal with Mercury Records and released a live EP (recorded in Queens, Respect) in 1994, with their debut full length Jammin' in Vicious Environments (J.I.V.E.) released a year later (on vinyl and cd). In support of their album, Shootyz Groove toured with many acts on both ends of their musical spectrum, including Slayer, Boogie Down Productions, and 311.
